Pistons & the Craptors are 1 & 2 in the East

[Full Court]

I'm still undecided if the Pistons are frauds or legit contenders. They're looking like contenders....but they've had a pretty weak schedule so far. The Rockets are the only good team they've beaten, but that's a pretty solid team to beat.

I think this is the weakest eastern conference I have seen in my entire life

I remember the days from 04-18 when the East used to be an absolute bloodbath

A team on 12 win streak and the other on 8 win streak deserve to be #1 & 2. It's that simple. Most of the Eastern conference teams are injured (mostly stars). The NBA has always been this way. The healthiest teams usually win.

Cry some more.
Raptors we are back and better than ever.

The East was pretty weak between 2001-2003, especially in the year 2002. That Nets-Celtics conference final was pretty bad. Afterwards, it was still easy getting to the finals in some years, such as 2015, 2018, 2019 or 2020.

Woodson likely won't gameplan defense as well but having fresher players in postseason could make a positive difference.

I think the second part of your comment won't work because of the first part imo. Yes, they'll be fresher, but they won't have that intensity they had under Thibs.

I remember calling the coaching change at the time a massive downgrade.

While Mike Brown was decent in Sacramento, there wasn't anything about his coaching that made me think he'd move the needle in comparison to Thibs.

For the record I hope I'm wrong but if the players aren't playing hard in the playoffs there's something majorly wrong with them. Every player on the Knicks should be out there thinking this is the best shot they've ever had at a championship. You shouldn't need the rah-rah from the coach with that goal in sight. Thibs is the best defensive coach so yes its a strategy downgrade but healthy personnel is more important.

Back to what? A first round exit team? Congrats I guess

All the real contenders are out West

East is a joke regular season records mean f*ck all come playoff time

Neither the Raptors or the Pistons have enough talent to be considered true title contenders
