Pretty much. The sad thing is... at this time... Los Angeles is in line for a #4 seed in the playoffs with Utah looking at a #5 seed. Colorado (also 4-10) faces a #6 seed since Utah has the head-to-head tiebreaker. Grand Rapids (also 4-10) is standing outside the playoff bracket at #7 as the lose the head-to-head tiebreaker to both Utah and Colorado. Kansas City is in last with 3-11. However, as bad as the American Conference is, Grand Rapids and Kansas City both remain in the playoff hunt over the next few weeks...
