East Standings

Charlotte is really struggling. They've lost 8 of their last 11.

But both Charlotte and Washington have played the fewest games against teams [EDIT} BELOW .500 among the East playoff contenders. There's still a chance they could come back. Should be interesting.

I think it's important to note that we have the second easiest schedule of the entire league until now.
Not to be pessimistic, because I'm not and I believe we will make the playoffs, but our record will even out a bit to near .500 soon. And the entire group of teams from 3/4 to 10 in the EC will also get a worse record than they have now.
My point is: expect some rough stretches from now on.

Chicago on a 4-game winning streak and finally getting their point differential in order. Might not be able to count on them imploding.

Heat are blowing out the Wiz...I guess thats what happens when you have 2 superstars.

Wizards are a weird team. They have a nice backcourt to build around, but I don't know where they go from here. In some ways I like that we're earlier in our rebuild. We don't have any obvious stars to build around, but in a way the possibilities and potential seem greater.

Wall is good but he is 25 and still really inefficient and Beal has been hurt for big chunks in 3 out of his 4 nba seasons...Otto Porter (22) still might turn into something...but they sure look like a 1st-2nd round treadmill team unless they get another major talent soon.
