So the one-third that picked less than half the season are looking pretty smart now.
I'm assuming you're saying the 23% is 1/3? Other acceptable answer... 1/4.
10/30 picked them to play together in less than half.
But then again, I'm not a mathematician, a different kind of mathematician, or a statistician -

With Booker's latest injury, we'll be lucky to make it into 29-41.

I still think 29-41 is most likely. We only need 6 of the final 21 games. Booker will probably miss 3-5 games. That means 6 of the final 16-18. That’s pretty much a given as long as no one else has more than a short term injury.
Under 29 is still a possibility though…I’d say the chances are:
Under 29: 17%
29-41: 82%
42 or more: 1%

I guess it happened when Book didn’t play vs Boston, but we officially can’t make it to 42 games with the Big 3. If they played all 17 together we’d land at 41

Decent flow between them last night
KD 37
Book 27
Beal 24
Is this their most balanced attack so far and I was also wondering if there's been a game where all 3 of them had over 25

I know most will say they don’t care and the championship is all that matters, but I want Book to get to that 65 games and make All-NBA.

Getting close to that next and probably final range. Three more to enter it.

I’m starting to wonder if it even matters. Team spends an awful lot of time sleepwalking no matter who’s on the floor.

I just realized, 41 is the best we can do so that's that as far as the poll is concerned. Congrats to the 7 out of 30 who picked that range. What's the chance they play every one of the last 12 with big 3? I'd say pretty low considering resting at the end. But even if they did, they would have played together in only half the games.

Honestly it’s not something I was hoping to be right about but given historical data, seemed the most likely.

But what about the play-in? It’s neither regular season or playoffs…I say we count it towards this total so we keep intrigue alive…and so I could still be right

I like your thinking.
