I know it's early, but does this team stat mean anything to you all?

Three plus weeks into the season.

9 Teams in the West are over .500. Two more are even at .500
Only 2 Teams over .500 in the East. Only one team is at .500.

I’m in here to say “No” before I actually read this content because I’m that confident that this early nothing would be a yes. I’ll report back my final findings once I’ve read it.

Having read it….No. My answer is no. But I understand why you would ask.

The east is lagging again, as usual.

Doc is still showering after his summer golf exertion

Yeah it means something to me.

It means Lebron ALWAYS TAKES THE HARDEST ****ING ROAD :facepalm

It's now 11 teams in the West over .500, with one at .500.
East still has only two over .500.

Will the eastern conference stay this bad ? No.

But it def is the LEASTERN CONFERENCE again.

Boston will probably have another cakewalk thru the post-season, while whatever squad comes out of the west will have to go thru an absolute bloodbath gauntlet at every round, just like Dallas did last year.

Almost a week later, and no change for the East.
A month into the season and only two teams over .500 is crazy.

The eastern conference was garbage when he played there as well. 1 1st All NBA opponent in 24 series during his 8 year NBA finals run. :lol

I think a few other teams will eventually get above 500 in the east, but it’s clear the west has like twice the quality teams the east does. If this doesn’t convince the NBA to switch to a 1-16 league wide playoff seeding, I don’t know what will.

Is it LeBron's fault Giannis and Embiid kept losing before they could play him?

A little something called time zones, brother.

Fans will too often end up having to watch their teams tip off at 5:30 or 10:30 depending on which coast they live. It's just too tough on the local markets in each series.

East now has three teams. West back to 11.
