The current 9th seed in the East (Brooklyn) and the current 12th seed in the West (New Orleans) have matching records, meaning the 9th seed is likely to yield the 10th or 11th pick. That's incredibly dangerous ground for our pick owed to the Bulls.
Indiana, San Antonio, Portland, and Oklahoma City all have better records than Miami.
Currently, to make the EC playoffs, you'd need 33 wins. The last time a team that bad went to the playoffs was the 86 Bulls (the year Jordan was injured), when 16 of 23 teams make the playoffs.
Raptors 3rd seed in the East
