Why is the East open this year?

[And1AllDay]

I noticed at the start of the playoffs you could make a case for at least 4 different teams but for the last 8 years only one guy made it to the Finals and it was a lock becos of his dominance so I ask why is the east open this year


What changed


Why

[paksat]

Refs stopped giving one team ( ie one player ) a free pass


simon how many times has l39ron been in foul trouble? :roll:

The East didn't require a superstar cast to make the Finals, but one guy stacked his team with 2 superstars and monopolized the conference for 8 years

But now he's gone, so it's back to 1-superstar teams making the Finals, just like pre-2011, pre-"decision"/collusion

Btw, even though lebron's collusion ruled the East for years, he almost never ruled the LEAGUE, because he rarely won the championship... indeed, he only beat the West 3 times, so he would only make 3 Finals out West for his career and his Finals appearances were therefore conference-dependant

[superduper]

Hey OP is there any team in the East with #1, #2, and #4 PER players on the same team?

Can you EVER even imagine that happening in real life? What kind of a shameless winless loser would you have to be to even consider diluting the league to such an extent?

[bullettooth]

Because a known colluder isn't colluding in the east anymore. He tried in the west and couldn't even make the playoffs.

[ImKobe]

Lebron missed the Playoffs...

So why is the East open this year?

The East has been referred to as the Leastern conference for over 10 years because of the clear talent imbalance with the West. So your idol with a colluded team was able to beat the Least and get to the finals were he was exposed year in and year out.

Care to tell me how he fared in the Finals after he conquered the bloodbath Least? I'm pretty sure he must've continued his dominance and went 8/8 in the Finals

Why is the East open

Does ne1 know?

2004 - missed playoffs

2005 - missed playoffs despite the East all-star center on his team

2006 - 2nd round elimination

2007 - 2-seeded Cavs beat 1-seeded Pistons to make Finals (lebron averaged 21 on 41% outside of game 5; 25 on 45% overall)..... then 22 on 36% in Finals sweep loss

2008 - 26 on 35% in ecsf loss

2009 - loses with 60-win 1 seed

2010 - loses with 60-win 1 seed (record - no one ever lost with 60-win 1 seed for two straight yrs)

Then said "fck this, I can't handle being such a loser" and teamed up with the #2 and #4 players in PER aka the best small forward and shooting guard in the league


There it is, after no minutes of research

[superduper]

Does any team in the East have #1, #2, and #4 PER players on the same team?

[Gileraracer]

No one who prefers superstar collusions over competition in that conference anymore :confusedshrug:

Has anyone ever had that lets see 2011 since you keep crying about that year

1. LeBron
2. Howard
3. Wade
4. Love
5. Goatbe

So just so you know D12 and Love were not on the Heat in 2011

And if PER is so great then guess what Bran had higher Finals PER in 2014 then Mike had in 5 of 6 Finals runs so if we really want to use PER then you lose this becos Bran is #3 in playoff PER all time

Once again TheConsensus, Bran is top 3 all time :pimp:

Link to Wade finishing 2nd and Bosh 4th in PER after any season in Miami from 2011-2014?

No goal posts moved. What year did LeBron play with Bosh when Bosh finished with the 4th best PER in the league?

What's MJ got to do with this? Why are you comparing a manufactured role player to the GOAT?

The only one that does that is this forum and it's 20 alts... hell look at that recent thread asking if l39ron is even in the top 10, take away the alts and 70% of this forum has him outside the top 10

Let's stay on topic

One of the great stars of the west gets traded to the east and makes the finals in his first year with his new team. Predictable or not?

What was the Raptors record/seed before Kawhi in 2018

Google tells me

#1 seed
59-wins

Did you think swapping DeMar for Kawhi, Gasol, and Green would make them worse?

[bluechox2]

Raptors making the finals was the next best thing for the nba when their create-a-superstar left for bigger business ventures

Reeling in Canada is their next step in growth
