So I’m definitely not feeling great about how the Cs are playing right now, but the argument could make that the way they are currently situated in the EC standings is to their benefit.
If the playoffs started today Cs would face off against Brooklyn in the first round followed by (presumably) Philly and Milwaukee (if they make it that far). The Cs seem to match up worst against Cleveland, NY and Miami - and potentially wouldn’t have to face any of them.
Obviously, on paper, the 76ers look like a better team then Cleveland, but the Cavaliers have given the Cs fits and the Cs have won their last 4 against Philly. Boston has also been strong against Milwaukee, crushing them in their first matchup and taking them to overtime - despite missing all their starters but Horford- in their second matchup.
