East vs West
East vs west games have been interesting this year, but is one conference better? The teams in the east having to play the Cavs and the Celtics a couple of times is difficult with out a doubt. The West teams have to play multiple different teams with over 45 wins. It makes it difficult to decide who is the better side. However, the west strength of conference might be to much. There are a few teams in the East the struggle against opponents that are above 500. The entire western conference is above 500 so they have had lots of practice. When it comes to NBA playoffs it is important for each team to put the past match ups behind them and focus on advancing, and this year it should be full of dog fights.
