    Just crunched some numbers - after a couple of somewhat more compe ive seasons, the Leastern Conference teams are getting hammered again by the Western Conference teams.

    As of right now (I just added up the #s real quick) the tally is:

    West vs. Least - 109 wins, 73 losses (and vice versa for the Least) - that is .599% to .401%.

    The order of the universe has been restored (i.e. the Leastern Conference sucks)

    To be fair, the draft helped a lot. This is what broke down.

    Clippers, Grizzlies, Thunder, Kings. These were the teams who drafted the first four.

    Their records are now at least respectable. Clippers, being the only exception, we are waiting to see Griffin.

    A lot of non-seeding teams in the West would make the Eastern playoffs right now, especially Memphis. I don't know how the NBA was able to alter US geography and move them to the West

    Only Tyreke Evans has had a major impact for their team. Harden has made some contributions, but the Thunder's success has more to do with all the players becoming even better like Westbrook. Thabeet hasn't done .

    Who cares about the middle-class and the bottom dwellers? Boston, Orlando, Cleveland and Atlanta play in the East.

    What? Watch some games. His impact cannot be measured with stats.

    Most people don't watch Memphis because of Thabeet anyway.

    They watch Gasol, Gay and DA JUICE.

    I tend to agree with this. There are a lot of bad teams in the East, but there's not anybody out West, besides LA, who's really stood out more so than the big 4 in the East.

    Thabeet's defense is incredible. I am watching the Grizzlies game now and when Thabeet was on the court, no one attacked the paint against them, they all started chucking jumpers. Barbosa started to play like the dumbest idiot of all time after Thabeet rejected Amar'e at the rim. The Grizzlies then went on to build a big lead.

    They're up 20 on the Suns right now. The Grizz are surging.

    Was that Pau Gasol trade really bad for the long term?

    Do I have to unretire O.J Mayo to tell you Zach Randolph is playing better than Pau Gasol ever did on the Grizzlies?

    Those teams regular season records will always look better because they play the majority of their games against lousy Leastern Conference teams. Boston is pretty top notch when healthy, but those other 3 teams have never done anything significant in the post season - how many NBA championships do those 4 teams have in the last 10 years? 1 How many Finals appearances? 2
    The top 4 teams in the West standings have 8 NBA championships & 10 Finals appearances in the last 10 years (all Lakers & Spurs, with Kobe & Duncan still going strong this year) - the only team in the Least that has a shot at the le this year is Boston (if they can stay healthy, which is questionable).

    Lakers or Spurs will probably win the championship this year (which ever team stays healthy at the end of the season). They are both playing the best ball in the West right now.

    I disagree - the Spurs have won 11 out of their last 13 & 5 in a row, now that they seem to be healthy - they are the most dangerous, experienced championship team when healthy (along with the Lakers, when healthy).

    you - it took me 3 minutes - I actually do have a life (nice house, nice job, hot wife, cool kids). Just because it would take you all day to count the numbers doesn't mean it takes me that long - go back to flipping your burgers at McDonald's - I think the intellectual challenge of this forum is too much for you.

    Might want to make that a Big 3. Atlanta just lost at home to the Knicks. They're a good team but nowhere near elite.

    Of course, placing the Hawks in the same class as Boston, Cleveland and Orlando isn't as ridiculous as thinking the Spurs have a chance to win the le, like the OP does.

    bingo, if east teams get the lottery balls it will even out, and I think it has started to even out more, because like you said Cleveland, Boston, and Orlando are all better than the West outside the Lakers

    Memphis suck financially. Seattle needs to build an arena and Memphis should move there. Then, bring OKC into the SW Division.

    Everyone is happy.
