It really feels like a race to the bottom in seeing how these teams are sinking. Just a few weeks ago, the Celtics were outside the Playoffs and having a good shot at getting in. Then Rondo was gone and the tank was back on.
The Magic did not make a move and seem to have found the same results. Now the Pacers are the first team outside the Playoffs. Funny how things change.
The schedule for the Magic gets very tough as Stein notes. The Thunder are figuring themselves out — read: Kevin Durant came back — and home has not been home.
