When is a game safe?

[moistie]

Interesting article. A guy who has attended college b'ball games for over 40 years has figured out a mathematical system to know when a game is safe. It is:

Take the number of points one team is ahead. Subtract three. Add a half-point if the team that is ahead has the ball, and subtract a half-point if the other team has the ball. (Numbers less than zero become zero.) Square that. If the result is greater than the number of seconds left in the game, the lead is safe.

Thought I'd share for the upcoming NBA season.

The lead is safe when they put scalabrine on. Exhibit A right there.
