Now if two teams vying for 8th place have identical records at the end of the season, don't they go off of head-to-head record to determine who advances to the playoffs? If so, we're really going to need to step up our game against the teams we're competing against, because it's close enough that there might end up being identical records when it's all said and done. Thus, this season our record against the six teams vying for the 7th and 8th seed is (correct me if I'm wrong):
Miami: 0-2
Charlotte: 0-2
Brooklyn: 2-1
Detroit: 1-0
Indiana:1-1
So we're really going to have to perform well in the games against these guys if we plan on making the playoffs.
