Playoff race lab
Why the margin matters tonight, a team-by-team path explainer, and cut-line tables with gaps vs the real 8th-place club — without crowding the main standings page.
This page is meant to read like a broadcast “B-panel” for the bubble: we spell out who is truly on the cut line, which clubs are only a few points from swapping seeds, and why a single regulation result can move several teams at once. Use it alongside the home standings when you want narrative context, not just sortable rows.

Bubble race & cut line
The cut-line pack is only the teams packed around the last playoff seeds—not a full standings clone. Pace charts below plot every team in each conference after every game vs a 1 point-per-game baseline (positive = ahead of that pace).
