It seems a lot of teams have been struggling to start the year.
I mean, the C's are 12-10 and the 4 seed in the East, while seeds 6-8 and lower all have BELOW .500 records. Even out West, there are a ton of teams around .500, and the Suns currently find themselves as a 4 seed lol. All a bit weird.
But man the East outside of the Top 3 or 4 teams is just really bad. Like yeah, because of the format teams like Charlotte, New York, etc. will make the playoffs but probably with below .500 records. And not just 1-2 games below .500 but probably more.
The C's kind of just feel like a middle of the pack team right now in both the East and the entire league.
