Can we stop pretending the West is better than the East?

[JT123]

At least at the top of the conference. One of the top 3 teams in the West has lost back to back games against Eastern playoff teams. Guess we are finally realizing Bron's road to the Finals isn't a cake walk at all.

Flawed argument.

This year has nothing to do with the past.

If the East actually is quality this year...it has to do with this year...it doesn't make the East in 2013 retroactively better.

[GIF REACTION]

The east contenders have always been slightly underrated

While the west contenders have always been slightly overrated

The fast pace, high scoring run and gun west beats up on the weaker non playoff teams

[SouBeachTalents]

They why is LeBron's record in the playoffs the last 5 seasons 15-0 against the East but 2-3 against the West?

Cause every finals his teammates played dramatically worse than in the first 3 rounds

Wade 2014: 20 ppg in the ECF, 14 ppg in the Finals


2015 Kyrie and Love: Played a bit in first 3 rounds, completely out in Finals



2013: Bosh played worse in finals




Every season LeBrons teammates play considerably worse in the finals, not his fault

Didn't happen in 2011, so why did they lose that one?

Look how bad the Heat role players were in the finals, Bibby, Joel Anthony, Ilgauskas, chalmers, james jones, they all played considerably worse

[Mr. Jabbar]

pretending

[Heavincent]

Yeah guys, stop using facts and shit.

[Mr. Jabbar]

Yeah guys, stop using facts and shit.

Right now the 8th seed in the East is 0.40, while there are THREE teams in the West with 0.500 not making the playoffs... Shit gets worse every year

And yet if LeBron even plays to half his standards, they win the title. The other players you mentioned were awful, but they aren't all time greats trying to surpass Jordan so LeBron has no excuses for that Finals.

[Lebronxrings]

warriors can easily cake walk to finals in the west.

Meanwhile in the east: undefeated raptors, young upcoming pistons, talented wizards, stacked heat, etc,etc.

[Spurs m8]

OP, you dumb shit

[JebronLames]

Wade wanted to be the man. Since LeBron was the guest, he let him be, and we all know how that turned out. Without refs, D-ClineinMAY couldn't get it done. LeBron showed him who the boss was after that.

When Bron's team mates play well you say Bron makes his team mates better.

When they play bad you say they let Bron down and they suck.
