If the East isn't as advertised, then we should probably have a better record than 10-7 given that we play all 4 of them...

I think we probably lose 1.5-2 more games over the course of the season if Jones doesn't play in isolation, so call it 1 game worse over the first 7-9 games. And without Omenihu too? Maybe that's 2 more losses tops during that span than we'd have otherwise had. Probably 5-4 as the floor.
It's just that both of the seasons we won the SB we were the #1 seed with the bye by a single game. It puts us a bit further behind the 8-ball come playoff time, but if everyone and everything is clicking by that point, we can obviously beat anyone at full strength.
