Eh we are much better than our record and everybody in the 7 to 10 range is much worse. There are literally 30 free wins for teams like Portland, Golden State, Miami or Atlanta. I think we do a moderately good job in the draft, with the MLE and large trade exception we are back in the play-in chase next year.
