I'm shocked as hell that the NBA Eastern Conference is real competitive this year

[UpAndComing]

As it stands, currently on 12/6/15, the rankings are

1. Miami 12-6
2. Cleveland 13-7
3. Chicago 11-6
4. Indiana 12-7
5. Atlanta 13-9
6. Charlotte 11-8
7. Toronto 12-9
8. Orlando 11-9
Boston 11-9
Detroit 11-9
New York 10-11
Washington 8-9
Milwaukee 8-13
Brooklyn 5-14
Philadelphia 1-20


Miami, Cleveland, Chicago, and Atlanta are the obvious 4, but damn who knew Detroit, New York, Indiana, and even Orlando and Charlotte would be competitive?

Nice crop of young talent that would be dominating the league for years to come

Drummond, Reggie Jackson, Antecompo (spell check, but that Nigerian Greek nikka), Oladipo, Avery Bradley, Porzingis, Whiteside, , Lowry, Butler, Walker, etc


An East team can be on a 2 game losing streak, and be in damn near 11th place. Might I say, they are even more competitive than the western conference this year


Is this the end of the stigma that the East is a JV league?

All those teams would/will/gonna catch the beats by GSW or SA in a 7 game series.

Their records are good so far, but keep in mind they're playing the majority of their games against each other.

That being said, Houston, Dallas, and Portland have all taken a step back from last year.

OKC would probably fukk all those East teams up in 7 games as well.

Miami Heat all day, nga.

Nahhh Miami, Cleveland, and Chicago all have a chance of beating OKC

It was bound to happen. They were stockpiling way too much talent for it not to.

A chance.

But the top 2 teams in the West (GSW and SA) would still completely destroy every team in the East.

So they're still the Leastern Struggle Conference as far as I'm concerned. 1 month of regular season play doesn't change shyt.

nikka SA almost lost to Boston last night, with SA at full strength. Avery Bradley was giving em the works

Cleveland was 2 games away from winning the title against GSW WITHOUT Kevin Love and Kyrie Irving on the court. Puhh lease

I think GSW and SA are clearly the two best teams in the league to this point. Those top 5 in the East could probably beat any other team in the West

nikkas love propping okc up there like they are some world beaters

 

[KOBE]

East on the way up, but the West will be bad for two years before rebounding. Better managements and coaches all across the west than the East.


I also don't think they'll have better title contenders any time soon either.

So you wanna use regular season games against the Spurs, but don't wanna talk about Cleveland losing to fukking New Orleans a few nights ago?


Okay :lolwtf:

Let's act like GSW didn't level up

 

[AtlienInTheGoodieMob]

GS and Spurs are the only team in the West that looks formidable, everyone else are on par with the Easts best team

People in this thread acting like 6 weeks of regular season overrides 15+ years of futility.
