Eastern Conference standings are tighter than ever, if season ended today the Celtics would miss playoffs

The NBA Eastern Conference has improved leaps and bounds over last season. The standings are insanely tight right now, and the top 10 teams all have between 11 and 13 wins. Cleveland has 13 wins, tops in the conference, but since they lost to Miami last night the Heat took over first place with a 12-6 record due to their higher winning percentage.

Maybe the outcome would have been different if LeBron played. Man that guy has a real sense for basketball theatre. What a competitor.

There really aren't many games you can take for granted in the East this season.
