Can we stop with the East is weak shit?

[nba_55]

Hawks, Bulls, Cavs, Wizards and even Raptors to some extend are very strong.

EDIT: I forgot Pistons!!

[Lebronxrings]

yea the east is looking much better than the west. Come playoff time, the west teams won't get easy transition buckets and open shots. Look what happened to okc tonight.

[J Shuttlesworth]

Hawks 11-2 against the West

25-6 against the East

draw your own conclusions

Although most would agree that it's a top heavy conference, it's definitely better than it's been in recent memory. I'm expecting the Bucks to be much better next season as well.

Toronto's record against plus .500 teams is bad.

West iz wayyyyyyyyy better.

West is overrated this year, the only legit contenders are Warriors, Spurs and Grizzlies.

Raptors had a given win vs the sixers tonight too.

Record vs West

Atlanta 11-2
Washington 9-6
Toronto 9-7
Chicago 11-6
Cleveland 7-11

Record vs East
Golden State 13-0
Memphis 12-5
Portland 17-3
Dallas 16-5
LA Clippers 13-8
Houston 12-4
San Antonio 10-4
Phoenix 13-6
Oklahoma City 11-6

The tenth place team in the west has an 11-6 record against that conference.

That same 10th place team would be a 5 seed in the west.

In terms of legit contenders, they are about equal. Who cares about the bottom seeded teams? They aren't winning shit anyway.

We can not stop with the East is weak sh1t until the East becomes not weak.

None of those teams I listed were 'bottom teams'. All 10 of them could come out of the West.
You can look at the top 3 instead, although it wont help your argument any.

Post their records against the top seeded east teams, who cares if they beat the Knicks? When I say ''East is not weak'', I talk about the top 5 teams. Those teams are as strong as the the top west teams.

How about looking at the point difference against .500 teams?

The Warriors and Hawks are way ahead of everyone else.

[Legends66NBA7]

Raptors aren't strong right now. They left who they were in 2014.

[triangleoffense]

the east have like 3 teams that have favorable records against the west, the west have 10 teams that have favorable records against the east.

[tpols]

Easy isn't weak this year because of Hawks emergence, wiz getting experience, Bulls stacking their roster, and collusion part 2..but West is super loaded.. And still better.

Hawks wouldn't want to see San Antonio or OKC in the first round over the Damn Nets.
