The East is better than the West?
Over all the eastern conference has a winning record against the west.
I think we're far enough into the season that t's not too early to say it anymore.

It's way too early in the season to proclaim one conference better then the other. We're only about 15 games into the season, and most teams don't really start their interconference play until around Christmas. The Nuggets have only played one game against the East, and there are a handful of other teams that have only played two interconference games.
On top of that, the Easts record against the West is only 39-36. It's not like East teams are blowing the West out of the gym. The West could easily be back on top and "better" by the end of the weekend

Doesn't matter, in the past the West was better, the Heat repeated Championships, now the East is better, and it's very likely the Warriors will repeat, that's the 1 stat that counts Championships.

I think the records are flawed a little bit....Pelicans and Rockets for example have a much better roster than their record would indicate, same goes for the Clippers. The East has definitely caught up but it is too early to jump to conclusions yet.
Lakers for a 3-Peat?
No. Look at the rosters.
