NBA Playoff Race Update: The Raptors and Celtics Officially Punch Their Tickets
Eastern Conference - Dead or Dying
(11) New York Knicks (24-41, 0.0%)
(12) Chicago Bulls (22-42, 0.0%)
(13) Brooklyn Nets (21-45, 0.0%)
(14) Orlando Magic (20-45, 0.0%)
(15) Atlanta Hawks (20-45, 0.0%)
None of these teams has been statistically eliminated from playoff contention quite yet, but let's get real: it ain't happening.
At this point, it's the reverse standings that are far more interesting for them, as they jockey for a better chance at winning the draft lottery by racking up losses at a hilarious rate.
