yeah, i think it's weird too.
does anyone else think the playoffs, a mere ~16 games into the season, are already almost set? I do with the exception of the bottom 3 east. the top teams right now:
bos
orl
chi
mia
atl
nyk
ind
cle
sas
lal
noh
uta
dal
okc
dal
por
the outside looking in for the east is tor, det, cha, was, njn, mil, phi. Hollinger's playoff odds actually rate milwaukee, despite the low win-loss, as a strong favorite to make it. nyk, despite the win streak, sits at a not so great shot.
for the west, phx, mem, hou, and gsw are the fringe teams. hollinger gives these team as a very outside shot already, despite being close in wins and losses.
personally, i think the west is set. phx mem hou and gsw are NOT making the playoffs. i have no trouble saying the best teams in the west - nay, the best teams in the league (sas, lal, uta) are going to win their divisions. noh/dal make up a strong 2nd tier, and will be a good 4/5 matchup. den, okc, por will be 1st round fodder, ldo. you can quote me on thsi later.
in the east, well, what a story it would be if toronto made the playoffs. imo not happening, obviously, but indiana looks like a true playoff team. so who is the last fringe team?? charlotte, i guess, maybe new york. i dont know they're all awful
