You are stating the obvious. What people don't want to admit is that the West is weak as well IN RELATION TO COMPETING WITH THE WARRIORS.
It's been a one team league for a long time now.
I do believe however that Raptors and Bucks are > The Blazers.

Re: The West is WEAK
There are 2 great teams: GSW, HOU
Utah comes next.
Rest is trash. Honestly. No factors. A peaky OKC is relevant, but no one else.

I will concede Warriors had luck on their side that year with other teams having injuries.
2016
7 game series against OKC they easily could have lost. I think that counts as resistance.
They didn't sweep anyone that year.
They lost the Finals with a hobbled Curry and suspended Green.
2017
They lost only 1 game in the postseason. They got no resistance from anyone.
uhh What is this Backwards Day?
2015: first off the series went 6 games. Secondly, LeBron was without his number two and number three option and still stretched it to six games.
2016: you're an idiot for even trying to bring this one up this is only playoff series they've lost in five years so don't be a complete retard.
2017: 12-0 verse Western teams.
Western teams played 12 games with 0 wins. The East got one win after 3 games. Not sure how much more explaining this needs?

You are going to have to define what you mean by "resistance".
Is a 5 game series considered resistance? 6 games? 7 games?
It seems like you have different criteria for teams in the East vs West. You count a 5 game series as resistance when facing the East but a 6 or 7 game series against the West doesn't count as resistance.
Looks a bit inconsistent.

That doesn't mean the West is weak. It just means the Warriors are great and I agree.

Jesus, really?
Did the Warriors face more resistance from the west or the east in the following three years:
2015, 2016, 2017
Yes of course we both know the answer but you're just trolling

Maybe I should step aside and let you argue with yourself.

Re: The West is WEAK
the only time a bunch of KNOWN weak teams won a conference and got crushed in the Finals was when AI, Kidd, Lebron, and Dwight made the Finals with weak teams between 2001-2009 and got destroyed in the Finals..
There's never been another time where a bunch of teams that everyone knew were weak, made the Finals and got smashed (confirming their weakness and the conference's)
But even though a strong team wasn't needed to make the Finals, lebron's couldn't make it in 09 and 10', and stacked the deck from 11-18' to ensure Finals runs in the weak conference... Now that he's gone, we're back to non-star teams winning the East as Kawhi and Giannis don't have any superstar teammates like lebron had the last 8 years
