People on this thread are funny. Team record doesn’t matter. Player stats don’t matter. It’s “well I watch games” and then some whining diatribe about “the conference is the best” or “teammates don’t like the player”. Sorry.... record and stats matter. If they didn’t why play the games. I get that people have an agenda but the excuses never stop.
I guess that you would agree with the rankings below...
A teams record is absolutely a very good indicator of how teams compare.

Obviously we will see in a few weeks. That’s why they PLAY the tournament games. Until then speculation is fun but still just speculation.
I don’t think they are speculating, I believe they are making the point that a teams record is not necessarily a very good barometer for ranking teams.
If the season were to end today how would the tournament look?
