Great to hear Pop talk about the West and how much tougher it is year after year in that Conference since every year the teams that make it into the playoffs are so evenly matched.
Compare that to how it is in the east with 4 good teams always set up to play 4 shit teams and it\'s no wonder the West has been the Best for so long. Oh and to hear him say when people asked him who the best team in the west is he said The Lakers. He\'s pretty smart.
Oh and Tray keep on thinking an east team is taking it this year, it\'s endearing.
A Memphis-OKC matchup would be an absolute highlight reel, but unless OKC takes that 3rd spot shit aint gonna happen.
Well, didn\'t take the 3rd spot but hell yes. Game on.
Let it go 7 beat the fuck out of each other.
TIA The Lakers
fuck the west and they\'re overrated regular season records. the only two teams in the west to win titles in the past 10 years are the Spurs and the Lakers, then a bunch of overhyped teams that can\'t finish in the playoffs. plus, one of those teams, the hornets, was in the east like 7 years ago, they ditch us, go to the west and we get the shit ass bobcats. if you think the top four teams in the east can\'t compete with the top four teams in the west you\'re sadly mistaken. and the 7 and 8 seeds were young up and coming teams who will only get better(pacers definitely, sixers could use another big name player. the knicks will be better with carmelo in the system for a full season, and then there\'s the cavs who were a top team but lost it when bron bron decided to take his talents to an already solid miami team.
hahaha yeah right. Go back and read pretty much this same post from you at the beginning of the year where you said the east would be soooo much better this year due to all the player movement.
Well you were wrong and I was right as proven by the teams that made it in the east (the east had a sub.500 team in the playoffs AGAIN)and those that made it in the West.
So your point is the top 4 teams in the east can compete with the top 4 in the West and that\'s what matters?
Well as you even pointed out the only 2 teams in the West to win in the last 10 years is the spurs and Lakers so for 8 out of 10 of those years the best in the east couldn\'t even match up with the top 2 teams in the West much less the the top 4. Come on the facts are there. I know it sux for you but facts r facts.
My point which Pop reinforced still stands the east sucks and only has a few good teams thus the competition is just not as tough and thus the Western Champ usually ends up being the NBA Champ due to having stiffer competition and being able to put that experience to the test in the Finals where the eastern Champ usually comes up short since Jordan left The Bulls.
Thus I think it\'s endearing Tray thinks the Champ is coming out of the east. Her husband may want to check the backyard when she disappears during commercials. She\'s gotta be smokin\' something.
