I'd imagine the 2004-05 Bulls would be wildly inconsistent, I remember they had a nine-game winning streak AND a nine-game losing streak in the same season.

What I mean is, can you find out how far a team deviated from its final winning percentage at any point in the season? This might give an idea of which teams played consistent ball wire to wire. For instance, this year's Heat team (thus far) would probably grade out as very inconsistent, as they have an overall gaudy record but achieved it with a slow start, torrid middle, and recent struggles. I'm not sure of what use this would be or if it'd demonstrate what I think it would, but it'd be interesting to see what teams had consistent years and what teams were real roller coasters. We could then compare year to year data to see if any patterns emerge for a given franchise or in the arc of a season compared to playoff results or something.

It makes sense, they've been good for 55-60 wins most years, in fact I don't think they've had a sub-50 win season in the Duncan era.
