Oklahoma City won its first three games this week, all on the road in the East, before becoming Atlanta's latest victim last night. The Thunder still moved up in the projections to the #8 spot in the West, which would make for a very interesting first-round series against the Warriors.
The Toronto Raptors, who were looking like the best team in the East just a month ago, have now lost 8 of their past 12 games, with 2 of those 4 wins coming against Philadelphia. Atlanta smoked them in Toronto 8 days ago, which was the moment of the changing of the guard atop the East.
