Playoffs, Over .500, and Under .500 Streaks

Updating this once again now that the NBA and NHL regular seasons are over. This is the list of the USA's longest streaks among major professional sports teams. This list is limited to the top 4 leagues, plus MLS and the WNBA. Over and under .500 is considered to be when there are more/fewer wins than losses (so draws are counted as half of each), and for the NHL OT losses are counted the same as regular losses. Changes since the January update? The Avalanche, Flyers, Pacers, and Kings all missed out on the playoffs. Previously all four teams were in the top ten. This now means that two MLS teams (Rapids and Revolution) are in the top ten. The Avs maintain their place in the Over .500 list though, while the Red Wings and Devils leave the Yankees behind for first (at least until October). The Warriors drop off the Under .500 list (they were second), as they finally had a winning season after 12 years of losing. Now the gap between the Pirates and everyone else is even larger.
