    So far, the biggest “surprise” for me has the opening records for the top seeds. We’ll see how it all shakes out, but I wasn’t sure any team would be much over .600 / 50-ish wins, after last season.

    At this point, .600 / 50-ish wins is projecting out to be what it will take to get a top 6 seed in either conference. Which, could drop the play-in teams down to the .400-ish range. Maybe even drop the non-playoff teams into that .300 or less range.

    I thought the parity would come more at the top first, but it might pan out to be the exact opposite. :)
