Just look at 5 - 8, all not only losing road records, but getting your pushed in road records. Toronto barely above water themselves. What a ty conference.. they need to fix that .

Miami 4 - 10 in their division and still 7th seed.

Boston will probably wind up with 35 or 36 wins and still be the 8th seed. Pathetic.

[Arcadian]

The Spurs don't have a very good road record or division record this year, either.

But I think no team with an overall sub-.500 record should ever make the playoffs, so yes, east.
