Bubble team?

You'll probably say nothing hoopsworld says is intelligent but the lack of respect is amazing. Sure, we've played bad but, we've already gone west for 7 games, we've suffered massive injuries while managing to stay 3 games over .500 . How can we be a bubble team and Orlando is not. Talk about jumping on the bandwagon, if we had been 10 games better than Orlando at this time last year we wouldn't have been a guarantee.

Sorry if previously posted.

I still think we'll be ahead of Orlando again at the end of the season and I'm just loving seeing them drop again, just like they did around this time last year.
I guess the fact that they beat Boston made some of the media "experts" think they were the real deal.
They were wrong.

It's always going to be that way. Raps never get it and I doubt we will in till we are probable the best team in the east.

The funny thing I find is that us and Washington are tied for 4th. Cleveland is a .5 behind us, and Orlando is 2 games ahead of us. But apparently we're on the BUBBLE?

So I guess you just take it with a grain of salt.

That's an awesome article. I like how half the article focuses on who will fight for the almighty ninth playoff spot in the east.

How can you make such a stupid mistake.

If winning 4 of our last 5 is "struggling lately", I can't wait to see what "back on track" would look like. :D

TJ will be back & Barg's will be a 20/7 man before the playoff's
That'll burst the bubble but good. I hope

I think we should end up in the 4th-6th seed range. I don't see us getting to 3rd seed. I think Cleveland, Washington and Toronto would battle for those 3 seeds. Cleveland is very scary because of Bron, and right now he is playing at the highest level possible.
