A) Be an obsessed dikkriding Jordan stan using “Weak East” as a bashing point when you’re GOAT played in the weakest east OAT Due to expansion and being in a transitionin era when older stars were washed and on their way out, and newer guys hadn’t been drafted yetc and had a top 5 player to help him along the way and couldn’t win in a “weak east” without him.

B) Call it a weak east when In the last 15 years, 6 “weak” Eastern teams have won the ship and 8 “almighty” West teams have won. For such a big skill gap between the two conferences, in a series where the two best teams from each conference wins, the gap is not that big. Especially considering that 07’ Cavs team probably isn’t there without Bron showing out.

C) Say it’s a weak East when one of the premiere players can’t sniff the playoffs without adding the greatest player of all time to his team

D) say It’s a weak conference as if the West isn’t and hasn’t been 2 team race every year since 2010 as well.

E) dikkride, brehs.
:mjlol: This is such bullshyt

The east in the 90s was way better than the east since 2001

and Bron owns the Pacers too....just not as bad as the Rapturds. :scust:

Only team that ever stood a real chance was Boston. Bron been in the Raptors heads for years.
It’s worse with Indiana. Pacers are 0-5 against LeBron in the playoffs. Lost in 2012 with no Bosh, lost in 2013 with Wade hurt and Bosh putting up 11/4 with a 30 point loss in game 7, lost in 2014 by a similar margin in game 6, lost last year in I think 6 while blowing a 20+ point lead in one of the games, and lost this year with Kyle Korver as the most productive teammate LeBron had while averaging I think 9/3/3.

:jbhmm:How will they refute this

The East has gotten better but it still lacks a lot of star power

For you and @CHICAGO

Not really hard to refute:

Tatum, Brown, Horford, Rozier > Mitchell, Gobert, Ingles, Rubio
Simmons, Embiid, Saric > Mitchell, Gobert, Ingles

Utah beat OKC, as would Philly and Boston. Philly and Boston probably lose to Houston too.

Its kinda simple, the best 2 teams in the western conference are really really good, theres 1 in the east (2 with a healthy Boston). Decent names in the west but not really a threat. Warriors are going to their 4th straight Finals. The last few years they often play entire series without Curry, how is the west so tough?

Name some great players Lebron has gone against in the East. I mean going down in the books great.

Dwight (1x and he lost), Melo (1x - as a member of the Heat). He played a young Derrick Rose (1x). And he didn't even play them together lol

These overachieving, marginal good players that he beats means nothing.

The West has won the interconference head to head record 18 times in the last 19 years. That's what drives the narrative and justifiably so. Their are only a handful of teams regardless of conference that are legit title contenders. So the best from the East can certainly go up against the best from the west but overall the West has been stronger and its been that way for a while.

No one legit though the Raptors would win except some delusional fans. Bron has owned that franchise for years. They are shook mentally and Game 1 ended that series before it began.
These ninjas are legitimately delusional and it’s all to make Bron look better

The 90s were trash

Now the West hasn’t been stronger than the east :mjlol:

I think when kyrie went down, we all knew how this would play out.

Philly is the only real surprise

:mjlol:ROSE VS THE BIG 3.

HE CERTAINLY WOULDNT HAVE BEATEN ROSE WITH THIS CAVS ROSTER.
nikkaS BARELY SCRAPPED BY OLADIPO.

HE LOST TO PRIME DWIGHT.

REAL BASKETBALL HEADS HAVE NEVER HAD DEMAR
IN THE TOP 15.
:devil:
:evil:


He beat Rose and Jimmy with Kyrie hobbled, Love out and JR suspended for the first 2 games of the 2015 series. He's about to go to the finals for the 8th straight time and rather than look at the one common player over those 8 years, you'd rather call the entire Eastern Conference weak.
