The Toronto Raptors are 4-2 and currently fifth in the Eastern Conference. But what’s been happening around the rest of the NBA? We take a look in our weekly NBA update.
Bottom of the Eastern Conference playoffs
It’s early. It’s early. It’s early. But what exactly is going on at the bottom of the playoff picture in the Eastern Conference? The current six seed is….. the 4-3 Charlotte Hornets. The Atlanta Hawks and Indiana Pacers hold the seventh and eighth spots; neither team is above .500.
The overall takeaway isn’t that Charlotte or even Atlanta will make the playoffs, but rather the bottom of the East looks angel food-cake soft.
