East is better than WEST......very simple.....?

i totally agree, i have been saying this all along

4 of the 6 worst teams in the nba are in the west. that means 12-16 easy wins for the top 8.

hey, you have to think about it, if 8-9 teams are going to win 50 games, there must be some place all those wins are coming from. each west team plays each east team only 30 times a year, so you can't say they just beat on east teams and suddenly win 30. thanks to teams like the Grizzlies, Sonics, TWolves and Clippers, west teams get a big boost in their W column

i say the east is more balanced, except for the top 2, any team on any given day can beat any other team. while in the west, its the top 9, then the level drops off significantly, giving you the 4 worst teams in the NBA are in the west.

you can't just say there are longer win streaks in the west because you again have to look that they also have worse teams than the east, therefore more easy wins

you can't say that the east has sub-500 teams in the top 8 and the west don't because again you have to look at the worst teams in the west feeding the top teams lots and lots of Ws. so win streaks and W-L records doesn't say it all.

If the suggestions-blowing 18 group precise now makes the play-off there could be like 12 west communities --the east tops have greater constructive archives than the west tops by using fact they face each and every east group 3 to 4 circumstances and west communities 2 circumstances and the east have like 7 of the ten worst communities in the Nba-- west is a lot batter than east

If the top 18 team right now makes the play-off

there would be like 12 west teams

the east tops have better records than the west tops because they face every east team 3 to 4 times and west teams 2 times

and the east have like 7 of the 10 worst teams in the Nba

west is way batter than east

Are you an idiot? In the East you can have 2 teams under .500 to make the playoff when you won't have any team in the West making it under .500. The West is way better than the East. The East is a freaking joke this year and who ever don't make it in the West going to be pissed that a couple of teams under .500 going to make it. I would really hate to be the #9 seed in the West not to make it.

I want to kill myself after reading this "question"

Do you even watch basketball or do you just look at the website and make up complete bs stats to make you sound intelligent? Really? Cuz all of those stats are made up based on what you think happens as opposed to what actually happens and are also completely pointless because what you are saying is that the east is a good conference because their top four teams can whoop the crap out of the bottom four teams and the west is bad becuase they are so tough that they can't....yeah that makes sense. The west, according to the record, is up on the east 226-168 in cross-conference games. Only 4 teams in the east have winning records against the west and only 4 teams in the west have losing records against the east. Portland has a .500 record cross-conference. I'll let you decide.

But let's take pointless stats out of the question and compare TEAMS. We will take the top two teams in the standings out of each conference to take away the best team theory.

Are you honestly going to tell me that the magic, cavs, wizards, raptors, sixers and the hawks are a better conference of teams than the lakers, jazz, rockets, suns, mavs, and warriors?....The hawks are in a FIGHT for the 8th spot with a 32-40 record...32-40!!!

I think you need to go back to your fifth grade science project and forget that you have ever even heard of the sport of basketball.

Record says yes, but lets look at acual records and win streaks. West is more tougher with teams playing each other day in and day out. EAst only comes over for a few games, it's easy to beat somebody a couple times if that's all you see them for, in the west your playing each other all the time, beating somebody 3-4 times is very diffucult. Eastern conference is a bunch of under 500 teams in the playoffs...that's pathetic

you did all that research and your still wrong and no one cares. 11 seed Kings would be 8th seed in the East. enough said. West > East. your making a fool out of your self

ROFL @ Mastermind. Was waiting for someone to bring up the allstar game to compare WESt to EaSt. lol. West didnt have McGrady or Kobe. lol

how come the eas has only had 1 F*CKING TEAM to have a 10+game winning streak while the west has had like 6 or 7 teams to do so.

i know i know, the west is beating themselves. well, they are, but if you look at the standings, the east teams go like this: w L L w L w L w L L w w L nobody in th eas has longer than a 3 gm win streak. the west teams go like this www l www l l wwww l lwwwwwwlwwwl. liek that go ahead look a the 6 and 4 gm streaks on the west and look at the streaks on the east.
