Aside from Cavs and Cs, the East this year is srsly thrash, Indiana being a top 3 seed with a .500 record is a joke. You can be a top 4 seed with a losing record š¤£š¤£ Lakers would be a top 3 seed in the East rn.
I know its only 10 games in, but itās just amazing to see how bad a conference is.

This is fucked up. There is no tanking team right now except raptors, wizards, jazz and blazers. It really hurts lakers’ chance to do a meaningful trade to improve our team.
Yeah you can tell from the Pacers making ECF last season
The playoff format should have the 1st seed of west facing the 8th seed of east and so on to balance things out. Imagine seeing nets in the second round of playoffs while we are struggling to get out of the first round.
It has been this way for a while with a few exceptions one year or another.
And the Knicks were supposed to be OKC east with all their talent lmao
Those green fucks out there are just really lucky they are playing in east, they won’t have gotten the 08 and 24 if they’re not playing against rebuilding teams in playoffs
Do you have a typing lisp?
Too early to say what will happen. Injuries have been going crazy.
Whatās even more insane is that the Bucks and 76ers both didnāt even make it on this list of top 12
this is all by design. Adam Silver wants parity like the NFL. He wants every team’s fanbase to be engaged the entire season by thinking their team has a chance at a playoff run. Look at every single move or change he’s made and tell me I’m wrong. You literally have 10 teams in the playoffs now with play in games and it’s just silly. LeBronto knows.
Poor Knicks, even if the East is like that they can’t even capitalize
wtf is thrash
Obviously this won’t (I hope) look as wild at the end of the season, but right now this is actually insane. The disparity is surely at an all-time high between the west and east no?
Why canāt we just be in the EAST!?!? Instead of those green fucks!
Thing is, 20 owners need to approve rule changes. And no owner on the east will vote to lessen their chances of making playoffs or dominating their way to the finals.
The bucks being invisible is straight comedy. I agree go cavs
Bro I just wish some of the East teams upset some of the West teams (except us ofcourse) to avoid any tiebreakers (if ever) in the standings
Been tracking all games lately and whenever there’s an East vs West matchup I pray to the basketball gods taht the east team gets the W lmao
Remember everyone was saying Dame and Giannis gonna be unstoppable
šø or šļø?
How do you misspell trash twice
11-0 š¶
Always has been.
It’s early , let’s see what things look like around the break
Bucks, 76ers, and Knicks should be up there. Eventually
7th seed and below do not want to be in the playoffs. Theyre trying to grab the flagg
Well
Orlando’s best player is hurt
And the bucks and Knicks have underperformed
They should have a solid 1-5 at least
But yeah, it’s uneven
Itās been this way since MJ retired
Lakers win one game to go 6-4 and all of a sudden this sub is trashing an entire conference.
We lost to the pistons
I still think the Knicks, Magic, and 76ers will end up being elite. Just too much injures for the latter two.
All the East needs is one good team to stay relevant. For 2023-2024 that was Boston.
The NBA needs expansion. Additional 3 teams into the West while transferring TWolves, Griz, and NOP to the east.
It really does. I sort of canāt believe how the difference between the conferences still hasnāt dissipated.

Even Cleveland and Boston have had a puff pastry schedule so far. https://powerrankingsguru.com/nba/strength-of-schedule.php
The NBA needs relegation.
