Damn these Heat fans are more delusional than I thought. This is from the Heat message boards.

They (the West) play a free flowing brand of ball, thus, teams with better shooters and scorers are more likely to DOMINATE there conferences and seemingly the rest of the NBA.
But history shows that while they dominate the regular season, we dominate the playoffs. They play there best ball all year, while we wait til mid-season to pull our heads out of our asses.
My Pistons won it in 04, and should've beat the Spurs the following year had it not been for a Rasheed blunder. Your team, the Heat, took it last year from the seemingly unstoppable Mavs.
Truth be told, the East does suck in terms of thier "lack of passion" to play hard every ballgame, but the West is definately not the world-beaters they lead on to be!
The West isnt that great. I doubt Dallas or Phoneix can go a season in the East. Shoot Dallas couldnt go 6 games against the Heat. They gave it away because they dont know what defense is or what physical play is. I believe if Miami or Detriot were placed in the west, we would be a 70 win squads easy. There hardly any centers in the West, Hardly any great natural PF and SF.
