Just because a team is getting an A today does not mean their work is done. It is just halfway done. There is still a lot of work to finish the season and make it a success. As difficult as the work was so far, it will be more difficult to stay on top.
The same goes for those on the fringe of the playoff race. There is still time to get in and make the playoff push.
For the other teams, they just need to try to find out what assets they have to give to the playoff contenders that can be exchanged for players that can help them turn their own fortunes around, perhaps as soon as next season.
