^ Like I said, top-heavy ....... the consensus next top 4 Eastern playoff teams: IND, CHI, BKN & NYY were all pegged as having a decent shot at toppling MIA.
With NYY and BKN struggling bigtime and now with DRose's latest setback, we might be seeing a two-way fight (again) in the East.
Losing record for the last few slots in the East - it's been that way for a long time now ..... ever since the shift of power (post-Jordan) from East to West.
