Any team that's basically in contention for the number 1 spot in the east and gets "their asses handed to them" by a sub-500 means the team played an absolutley terrible game, or they've been only playing the cavs and nuggets this season. However that's only in my book
i disagree. i could be wrong on this one but when a team in contention for the number 1 spot loses to a sub-500 team , it could be possible the sub-500 team plays well enough to earn the victory. Just a small possibility though. i don't think when matchups like these occur, the sub-500 teams just roll over and take the loss. not unless you're the cavs or the nuggets this season. however that's only in my book
