Well there are. What's your point?

Teams like Cleveland and Orlando aren't any less threats to win the title because the East is top heavy.

my point is the east is a joke

No, the east is top heavy.

yea another word for joke

LOL the East is a joke? Just because the West has some better records doesn't mean it's a better conference. 4 of the best 5 teams in the league play in the East and this "shitty" Miami team has one of the top 5 players in the game.

Do you like want a medal for the west, because it has better teams top to bottom? That doesn't really benefit your team or any team in the west. It's like you're saying THE WEST IS BETTER THAN THE EAST, and we're just like, "okay...cool" and it doesn't really do you any good lol

according to you 2 playoff games dont mean shit

Beating Miami at home doesn't mean shit in terms of being able to beat Cleveland.
Struggling down the stretch of the season (and I mean STRUGGLING), and losing 1 of 2 games at home to Utah does mean shit...it means they aren't top 5.

This is some bullshit TNT is pulling... If it were damn Kobe or LeBron they'd keep the game on TNT

1. Cavs
2. Lakers
3. Orlando
4. Boston
5. Atlanta
6. Denver
7. Dallas

Top to bottom, it isn't close the West is way better than the East. But the East has the best overall teams. I like Boston or Atlanta over Denver in a series. It's why I think the Lakers are going to make the run through the West look easier than some people have anticipated.

the lakers have been struggling down the stretch, why are they in the top 5?

Boston at 4? ORLY

That being said, the only team that can ever touch the Cavs in the East is MAYBE Orlando and I don't think they can this year. I think the Cavs and Lakers are head and shoulders above the rest of the league--say what you want about last year. Duh, that's why they play the games. I'm talking on paper, it's not really that close. But it doesn't really matter how any of us rank the teams, it's going to come down to two of them.

Yep, but they're a long way behind the top 3. I like them against any of the teams I have below them though. I mean, I don't really care if you agree, it's my list. Your list can be whatever you want it to be, like I said, it doesn't really matter what mine or yours is.

Lakers are different.

I don't feel like getting into it all cuz it's 4/20 and i'm super high, but it's a different situation in LA.

dont be so sure LA's bench is fucking terrible and i believe Orlando can knock off the cav's again

Also like I said before if the Celtic's sweep, I wouldnt want to fuck with them the next round

I don't think the Magic have shit for the Cavs this year. Carter instead of Hedo plays right into our hands--plus we're way better than last year and we have no match up problems. In fact, we have almost reversed them because they aren't going to be able to play their kind of game against certain roster the Cavs can throw out there. But we'll see what happens.

I honestly believe LA will comfortably go through the West. They've had a shitty bench all season, they still won the West. Their top 6 is better than any whole team in the West. The West has some teams that are overrated. Based on seeding they look like they're great teams--but there are a bunch of teams in the West thta are just good teams, not great teams. LA plays a lot of close games because their bench sucks but they still seem to win them. On paper we're heading for a meeting of the freight trains and it will be a fuckin' party.

The Hawks if they get hot could keep up with anyone. Only thing that really hurts them is that Horford is really only the big bruiser they have
