All it tells me is these are the kind of stats that mean shit. Are those the only teams to ever win their first 3 games? No of course not. In fact I'd bet the vast majority of teams that win their first three games make the playoffs. I think the number is like 70%. Are those the only teams to win their first three games by less than 3 points? I bet not. So who were the others and what did they end up doing? Selective use of stats to make a point is stupidity and puts you solidly in the "hack" column in my book.
