Two seasons ago, a .500 record has them tied for 12th in the conference.
If you had them as a bubble team based on historic measurements, then this team as a whole must be under-performing, with most key players under-performing individually. But I'm guessing the coach with absolutely no track record of success still gets a pass? |
Actually I think I'm capable of defining what a bubble team is for me on my own.
A team between the new world .500 and a playoff spot is a bubble team in my mind, and that's what they are.
At least for a few more hours!
