Is it cannibalizing itself or is it awful?
There is a 2.5 game difference between 1st and 6th in the East, their top teams have far worse records than the West, their mid tier teams have far better records than the West. The Hawks are well out of the playoffs in the East and they nearly made the finals; the Hornets have 27 wins and in my opinion they kinda suck ass.
After typing that last sentence I went and looked up the records of Eastern Conference teams against the West... and I have a new theory.
The East is awful... AND it is cannibalizing itself.
Seriously though, I know we lost to the Bucks last year, but if we or Golden State or Utah... or Memphis... or Denver make it to the finals HEALTHY is there an Eastern team that can beat any of the West's best?
Maybe the Bucks if they get healthy too? Maaaaaybe the Nets if New York lifts it's covid laws AND they miraculously are all healthy?
