The desperation is definitely taking hold, and it has led to some unique results. This is where things start getting very real and you see which teams can handle the pressure - both of being the chasers and being the chased. We are also in the time where teams are making roster moves as well, and then we have to watch to see how those changes work their way into games.
But it does appear that we still have some pretty firm groups, and very little movement between the layers. There is a chance, though, that we might have a significant adjustment if things change at the bottom and in the middle.
