Actually Phoenix is only 3.5 games back and will probably get Dillon Brooks and Mark Williams back next week.
That's how I see it too. He is touted to be a coach who demands accountability and setting the culture. It looked like that in his first year here. It was refreshing after the toxic Silas years. It turns out that his accountability consists of having short leashes on certain players and publicly throwing some players under the bus while never put himself and his coaching crew under any accountability.
But they have 33 losses and we have 29. And we have the tiebreaker. There's simply not enough time left for them to overtake us. The Rockets would have to lose almost every remaining game in order to fall to 7th.
Yeah just meant generally they’re 3.5 games behind us as a measure of where we stand. It’s a double annoying thing if they end up with roughly the same record as us after we acquired Durant from them.
