he played & beat both
BOS won 62 games (3rd best record in NBA) & CLE won 66 games (overall best record in NBA)
his journey to the finals was twice as hard as the lakers
What else do you call a conference where only 3 teams out of 15 matter?
Strong?

WEAK EAST 
They were favorites to repeat when he was healthy.
We can't just make things up to fit our argument breh.
