All finish in front of us, maybe even the Knicks.
I think we start off pretty well and play exciting fun basketball, but not at the end. Last year we "lucked out" (depending on your perspective) by getting a lot of soft wins the last quarter of the year. Unlikely to back in again this time.
This assumed that our roster stays as currently constituted with no stars added.
