With Lebron gone, they have nothing. They have been the shittier conference for decades, with only the Celtics, Heat and Magic keeping them afloat.

this take hasn't been true in years tbh. boston phila toronto are all better than any west team besides golden state and kyrie's celtics are probably just as good.

warrior dickriding to try and make the 2nd and 3rd tier west teams look better :lol

The Celtics, 76ers, and Raptors are better than the Rockets? Are you retarded?

Conferences are only around to reduce travel expenses. This year it’s balanced at the top but the bottom is where it’s ridiculous. Celtics, Sixers, Raptors, and maybe Milwaukee are playoff teams in the West. That’s it. Meanwhile, EVERY SINGLE West team (including Sacramento and Dallas) could at least make it to the 8 seed if they were put in the East.

eastern teams seeded 1-4 will each have more wins than their respective 1-4 seeded western teams.

West is better, but the East has several teams in the mix.

If Golden State didn't exist it would be a wide open field.

I forgot the Cavs, but I guess it was implied. Supercam is also retarded for believing that nonsense. The Rockets had a bad game (possibly a bad matchup), but that doesn't make them shit kickers.

Why do you think Cinderella James ran off to the West? Because the Conferences are balancing out

The 'West is deep' narrative has been overblown for years. There's the Warriors and everyone else. And Boston is as good as any team not named the Warriors.

Let's not pretend like the West hasn't been a one-team conference for years. The Warriors are the problem, not the East.

Yeah, honestly think the top 3 teams are the Raptors, Celtics, & Warriors. The Rockets got worse. 76ers are a flawed team. Lol honestly at them taking Fultz over Tatum (especially since they already had Simmons) & them making Fultz untouchable in the off season in their pursuit of Kawhi.
