NEW YORK — If the playoffs started today, the Nets would qualify for the play-in tournament, which means they’d be one win away from seeding seventh in the Eastern Conference — and two losses away from missing the postseason altogether.
That kind of seeding wouldn’t be very “P” of a team that calls itself a championship contender.
Thankfully the playoffs don’t start today; they start in mid-April, and the Nets have 23 more games to climb up the Eastern Conference standings and finish in a respectable place.
