Eastern Conference gotta do better

[mikishere]

Ya'll do realize 9 of those 16 teams would be Eastern Conference teams right????

and the cavs would still face stiffer competition once you hit the top 4-8...

we got 2 elite teams between okc and gsw going at it meanwhile we gotta watch the cavs sweep the fraudulent ass raptors

compare the heavyweights of the east in the past 5 years to the heavyweights of the west

 

[Osmosis]

Wizards and Bulls didn't make the playoffs

 

[mikishere]

Ya'll told me the Raptors and Heat could have upset the Cavs.

The entire season ya'll were talking about how Cleveland looked "vulnerable" and wouldn't come out of the East. Now what? About to go into Game 2 of the ECF and still haven't lost a game.

who the hell said this outside of raptors and heat fans?

 

[NYC Rebel]

short lived? 1992-1995 is short lived?

ok, which era u wanna talk about
1980s? with Larry and the Celtics, Isiah and the Pistons, Barkley, etc
1996-1998? Knicks, Pacers, Hawks, Heat, etc.

folklore? the Pacers took the Bulls to 7 games and were up 14 in the 4th
The Knicks were up 2-0 on the Bulls in the 93' ECF
The Magic beat the Bulls in 95'

this is one of the most asinine arguments I've ever heard actually.

The Pacers taking the Bulls to 7 means WHAT?

I've long clowned the "they played Jordan hard" accolades given to those barely good at most teams.

which proves they were good, on what earth is Today's eastern conference better than the 90s?

yall try too hard to troll on the Coli

 

[pete clemenza]

Even Skip had to chime in

 

[NYC Rebel]

Bulls were sweeping better teams in the 1st round in the 90s than this Toronto team

The Paxwrs and Knicks were trash. Tired of these "they played MJ hard!" Props those bad teams got . I thank god I got to see 80s teams because I actively called the falloff of 90s ball during the 90s for what it was.

Trash relative to what? This Toronto team is worse, thats the point here

Cavs are a great team. LeBron is leading his team and they're on a mission.

Now as for the rest of the East. The NBA playoffs is about superstars leading their teams. Outside of Paul George and 34 year old Dwyane Wade these guys just don't have that "it" factor to lead a team in the playoffs or they just don't want it. The John Walls, Jeff Teagues, Lowrys, just aren't on that level of a let's say 2008 Paul Pierce and I say this as someone who hated the Celtics but you knew them nikkas wasn't scared of the big moments and were bringing it.

Remember this thread during the finals

 

[mikishere]

not denying that... we know how lebron owns durant... but that series would >> this raptors series

not to mention the spurs who are also eliminated due to a crazy top heavy western conference

seriously one of the worst arguments in Coli history..

Raps and Hawks both had top 10 records in the league but LeBron ain't playin nobody


Bruh Cleveland is just on a roll right now
