Honestly, I think the team that should have you worried is Brooklyn. They are only 1 game behind you, but hold the head to head tiebreaker over you and have a better conference record too.

And their schedule is fairly easy. Apart for Hartford, they face Boston, Arizona and Honolulu, teams that are a combined 9-27.

If you lose 2 games, which is possible, you could be in trouble.

Yeah, I am really worried about Brooklyn. I'm just saying that Cleveland having to play 2 tough teams as we do makes me feel a little better knowing we are in the same boat as them. As for Brooklyn

In reality, we're shooting for the division title. We split with New Orleans and have a better conference record and I believe we are tied for the division record. If we can manage to steal the division, then the bubble teams may need to compare their standings with New Orleans as well.

New Orleans holds the tiebreaker over you at this point.

1. Head to head: The series is indeed split. tie
2. division record: both are 2-2 now. tie
3. Common opponent record: NO is 9-2, SAO is 8-3. Advantage NO.
