While the other five NBA division leaders have winning percentages no lower than .622, the Atlantic's tri-leaders are three games below .500.
THE LOW FIVE: The entire Atlantic Division
26. New York Knicks (17-20) – The Knickerbockers are 17-20 and tied for the lead in the Atlantic? Congratulations, Pinto. Your 1.2 GPA puts you at the top of the Delta pledge class.
27. Boston Celtics (17-20) – The Celtics' defense is nonexistent. Any chance Bill Belichick could join the staff as a coordinator?
28. Philadelphia 76ers (17-20) – Allen Iverson continues to battle and put up great numbers, but how much gas will be left in the tank after this season?
29. Toronto Raptors (16-23) – 13-5 at home. The problem is that 41 games are played on the road each season. The Raptors are 3-18 stateside.
30. New Jersey Nets (13-24) – Last place in the Atlantic, and Richard Jefferson is out for the year. Ouch.
