Wins are harder to get? Yeah, I guess, but being in first place in the lost column is being in first place in the only thing that matters. yes, wins are are always harder to get...duh! and being in first in the loss column is nothing if you got more games to play(more chances to lose) The reason that leading in losses matters more than Wins is because if you lead in Losses you have complete and total control of your own destiny. It is always possible to make up Wins, its impossible to make up Losses. You have to depend on the other team to lose for you. Of course with 50+ games to go, it doesn't matter.
