Eastern Conference gotta do better

[The G.O.D II]

Yes I do.

The entire season of GS being called great(and the other dominant teams before them).

You take any dominant team in any era and excuse their dominance by claiming the opponents were bad, you are just being a hater.

Hawks won the season series with OKC. Raptors were competitive. If they were such shytty teams, OKC should have walked all over them.

Yes let's use two games out of 85 regular season games as a barometer. OKC would beat any team in the East outside Cle badly in a series. Same with OKC. I'm not downplaying the greatness of Cle or GSW. It's just he fact that one plays in a less competitive conference and it shows in these playoffs

Just stop posting breh.
In 95 the Spurs had the best record in the league. They're starting backcourt was Avery Johnson and Vinny Del Negro.

What does that have to with anything that I've said fakkit?

 

[The G.O.D II]

No you didn't.

Tell me how the Knicks are better other than using their 90s accolades? Might as well say the 1940s Minneapolis Lakers could beat the 90s Knocks since they had more accolades in the 4 team NBA.
Dumb

But we not talking about who can beat who tho(or at least I am) you are just reaching and seemingly desperate to have the last word no matter what. This is quite sad

But the east still is trash and unless it's OKC out the west will still get face fukked violently IMO. I feel like it's a cop out for all the teams in the east to say they can't compete unless they have super teams. Just build and make smart moves. If it's hard so be it

So the same Cavs team that was up 2-1 missing two stars, will get destroyed by the Dubs even though they're healthier? Bron hate got you thinking irrationally.

No they wouldn't, the Blazers had no answer for the Pistons this season, Drummond & Jackson averaged 22ppg and 23rpg while Jackson averaged 35 & 7 on 58% shooting, they were too physical for the Blazers and had the athletes to match them. The Pistons are a bad matchup for the Blazers and proved it this year, they couldn't use athleticism against the Pistons.


The Hawks would beat them as well, don't get why yall stay trumping up WCF, the only ones worth a damn were the Spurs, Thunder and Warriors.

I'm not trumping up the West in fact my argument was literally it doesn't matter about 1-8 when talking about the competition for an elite team. The fact that the West has 3 elite teams compared to the Easts 1, makes the road tougher

As for regular season match ups . I honestly don't care. OKC just lost 3 straight games to GSW and I recall the bulls dominating Lebron and Miami then getting swept. The playoffs are completely different

Anyone that thinks that the 90's Knicks wouldn't be a contending team right now with Patrick Ewing in his prime don't know shyt.

Just face it brehs, the eastern conference (excluding the cavs) is the d-league.

They would be I see the Cavs beating them.

That's the only real metric we have to prove any of this.

Only thing you are using to back up your position is you repeating it over and over again.

Atlanta had the best defense IN THE LEAGUE this year. Not just on the west. But then when the cavs beat them all of a sudden they aren't that good.

 

[Lord_Chief_Rocka]

I think it would go 7 but I agree.

The point with regards to this thread is that they would easily be the best team the Cavs would face in the East this year. So would Indiana . Somebody was shytting on Reggie miller's game as if he wouldn't be better than Klay in this era

But half the ninjas on here think Jordan would struggle with zone defenses

And that 1 East team has a chance of beating whoever comes out of the West

OKC had close games vs the Warriors, the Blazers weren't within 15 of the Pistons in any of their games.

Oh I feel you but this thread is just about which road is easier.

If you give a team a choice of :

2 shyt teams and 1 elite team
Or
3 meh teams

They'll take the latter r every time

Mike did have trouble with them in college and has been quoted as saying he wouldn't have had the career he did if he had to face zones.

Lebron's record vs 70+ win teams will be the first and will almost certainly never be broken if that happens

Here you go continuously bringing up season stats again. How good was that defense when Cle was setting 3 pt FG records against them? Not a single person believed they would give Cle any problems on the playoffs. Hell they were much better last year and got swept by a depleted cavs teams
