Odd factor in the east--the Sixers have played more games than all
other Eastern teams except Orlando. Among the teams clustered around
the 7th and 8th playoff spots the Sixers have played 60, the Nets 58,
Atlanta 56, the Bucks 58, and Inday 59.
Fortunately, the Hawks would have to go 3-1 in their games-in-hand to
tie the Sixers in the standings and 4-0 to pass them.
