Yes they are. Luka defense reminds me of pickup at the YMCA. That was inexcusable from an NBA player to end a game.

Entire past week has been an absolute flustercuck of chalk upsets.
4 straight L's for Dallas. Now 2 games under .5xx. No bueno.

So is the west trash now?
![]() I don’t ever want to hear about the East being trash again when Portland and Utah are beating the supposed “best” teams in the west

Luka is back to being a turnstile on defense, Lively can’t stay out of foul trouble, and Naji can’t shoot any more

You really don't think the West is better than the East?

No I’m just so tired of hearing about how terrible the East is.
It’s lazy, lacks nuance, and it’s just the same old thing people say when they can’t think of anything else I mean talking about conference strength 10 games into a season is the dumbest thing ever

There would be four new threads created if Wemby dropped 37 on the Jazz and lost.

I don't think it's that crazy this year, just look at SRS so far.
The East has 4 teams with a positive SRS. The West have 5 teams with a negative one: two teams that are tanking, one team that has been destroyed by injuries and is playing G-Leaguers and two teams who are barely negative. It's still pretty volatile but you can see where the trend is going. The West is much better this year, top 2-3 in each conference excluded.

Obviously 50 games is only a small portion of the overall intra-conference schedule (22%, given that there are 225 intra-conference games per season), but it's not an insignificant sample size. |

Facts = laziness now?
Jcards the East is trash. Even more so this year. Deal with it. Boston are great and proven. Cleveland might be great. But remind me of the Joe Johnson Hawks. A really good regular season team. Everyone else is woeful. The Knicks will come good. You're getting so bent out of shape about something that is absolutely true. I'd love to see the league change to playing each team 3 times except 5 teams will only play twice.

Or they'll say "but Boston won the title and they're in the East" We're talking about the East from top to bottom, compared to the West, is trash. It's a huge advantage to get to play in the East. It adds about 10 wins per season. Right now Minny wouldn't even get a play in game, yet out East they'd have home court in the 1st round. Wild

Everyone knows.
Y'all don't have anything better to talk about, obviously. It's boring as hell, get a new schtick. I look forward to everytime the Cavs beat a Western conference team so I can feel better about myself because the West is just a juggernaut

I gotta be fair to this board at least nobody has mentioned it in a couple days. I just saw a post about it and it triggered me.
The NBA should just get rid of the conferences at this point. It's always been weighted towards the best teams being in the West for whatever reason. It's just annoying to see all the time

Pacers have been looking so bad on defense since Nesmith and Nembhard went out. Their ability to swiftly pass is missed as well. Big oof of a team.

Then the legit top 16 teams make the Playoffs. If the East truly is far worse (which I think it is), they will end up with better lottery picks also and get stronger. It makes too much sense. The West seems to attract the better players through free agency generally which helps that side.

Cavs/Bulls was a 4 point game with 2:55 left. Cavs won by 18 lol
Also, it's crazy how bad the Nuggets are without Joker.

Sac Town looking so together and composed. Ant missing every shot. But he getting the friendly whistle. Bad taste of the Pacers-Heat travesty dissipating.

I'm not sure how stating the East is substantially weaker qualifies as some radical free think exclusive to BO? Like...everyone knows it, including analysts and IBM Watson groupies. 80% of the top 10 talent is concentrated in the West, and that percentage increases as you expand out to the top 25. You have Yannis (whose team's defense is completely immobilized), Embeede (who plays 50% of the season), and then...Boston's wings.
The Cavs' start being impressive and the East being weaksauce don't have to be mutually exclusive. But why should the public feel coerced into believing the Cavs are the top championship contenders? Hell, even Beantown received mass skepticism all the way up until they won last year...and that's despite numerous consecutive Finals appearances. It's not like the Cavs are the Chiefs with undeniable recency bias. Baby steps. Let's start with the ECF.

Damn. Fox holding the L after a 60 piece.
Tough to digest. And yet Minny couldn't find a way to stay competitive with P-town. This is why we degen.

Based Tsarr with his biggest game of the season and some getback on his equally crappy French nemesis.
I don't even know how to project this guy out 3 years from now. Just hoping Wiz ship him so he can have a punchers' chance at experiencing happiness.
