What's going on with the eastern conference?

I don't think the east is the joke everyone says it is.

They play a different style back east, it's a slower, grinding it out style, hard nosed with a lot of brute force.

It translates to a lower winning percentage during the season, against the run and gun teams of the west. But when you face the same team 5, 6 or 7 times in a row, it's a whole different ball game. It's a style that's really formulated to win playoff series' and it's the playoffs that really matter.

I'm saying don't get too cock to whoever wins the west. Those eastern teams will give you a whole heap of hell if you're not ready for a dog fight, 'cause it's a dog fight every single night back where they come from.

    The West has better offenses than the East. Of the top 10 teams in defensive efficiency, 6 of those teams happen to play in the West. So much for the West not playing defense. The West is simpler better point blank.

    I think the Heat and Pacers are powerhouses.

    Other than those two teams, I think the West's elite teams can handily beat any other East team in a series.
