The performance Nets have been showing in the Eastern Conference has been pretty impressive so far. I know that they lost nearly the half of their games but they are still at the fourth position in the standings. Especially their recent form is impressive. Irving and Durant's staying for at least one more season has helped them as well of course.

These stars are still very important for them to be more productive in scoring points. However this performance might still cause them some trouble after the end of the regular season. They need to get as many wins as possible to keep their mental condition high which would prepare them for the playoffs better.

The standings of the teams in the Eastern Conference weren't as close to that in the Western Conference and that explains why the Nets are in the 4th seed despite them only 2 games above 500.

The top seeded Celtics are 2 games above the Bucks which is currently at 2nd place followed by the Cavaliers which is 4.5 games below the top seed and the Nets are now 7 games behind the top seed. It isn't as close as in the West where the 8th seeded Blazers are only 3 games behind the top seeded Pelicans. Overall, the Nets are impressive on their last 10 games winning 7 of it. Good to see them having problems at the start of the season to now adjusting and now at the top.

Feel sorry for the Spurs though losing 11 straight games and winning only 3 of their last 20 games. I wonder what Coach Pop is feeling with his team right now.
