Basketball fans, I have finally found a solution to your terrible team's problem. It works at the prep, college and professional level and it will help you actually appreciate your awful team. Whether you are a fan of the Charlotte Bobcats, Orlando Magic, or the lowly 3-27 Kennesaw St Owls, I FINALLY have the answer that you need: Kyle's Kurve.
Here is the formula: add 10 points to your teams total points scored for each game that they lost. For example, if they lost 100-92, they would then win 102-100. However, in the event that they lost by 10, that is a loss, because you cannot add 11. It is simple, it gives you a reason to cheer in the final minutes when you know your team will lose the game. Trust me, it helps your self esteem.
Lets look at the effects that this formula has on a teams record. The Orlando Magic are currently 16-43 and rank 29 out of 30 teams in the NBA. However, with this formula, the Magic are 39-20, with the second best record in the east. Of course, if the formula was used on every team, the Magic wouldn't be second, but it at least gives the fan some hope. If the formula was used on a team like the Miami Heat, their record would improve from 42-14 to 49-7, obviously a much less impact due to their actual success this season.
If you look at the college ranks, it works as well. Kennesaw state is the second worst team in Division I basketball at 3-27. With the formula, however, they are 13-17. The bottom line is with Kyle's Kurve, I have given you hope, given you a reason to cheer when you haven't had much of a reason to smile during the year. Suddenly, you can dream, and can actually enjoy watching your team play. Enjoy watching your team have some "success"!
