2. That Chart Is Odd

It's not clear how the "net" is derived.
And, there are some fairly pronounced differences between team with the same record. (Spurs compared to Warriors, or Lakers to Bucks). The Kings rate higher than the Mavs while Dallas has a better record.
It feels like someone digging into stats without understanding context.
The teams at the extremes seem tautological.
The chart seems like the answer to a question nobody asked.
