Shut up about conferences being unbalanced. It doesn't ****ing matter.

The heat have a great record against the amazing west.

im sure they do, the heat are a great team. what does that have anything to do with what I said?

[edrick]

LeBron, Wade, and Bosh could all rotate taking nights off til the ECF.

That is an advantage.

The Heat have played more basketball than any other team since they joined forces. Especially Lebron.

im sure they do, the heat are a great team. what does that have anything to do with what I said?

You can't say Lebron would be a lesser player if he played in the West, there are far too many variables.

[qrich]

Only "East" fans ever make such idiotic claims.

Easy conference= easy path to playoffs

[kamil]

The difference is that the team that comes out of the West has been through WAR to get to the Finals.

Meanwhile Miami or Indiana will have 1 difficult round, 2 max.

This is what happens when 3 guys originally in the EAST team up to ruin competition in their conference.

Actually, there will ONLY be one difficult round for the ENTIRE eastern conferece; Miami vs. Indiana

The rest of the eastern playoff games will be a snoozefest. But yeah, teams in the west will have to go through hell.

Good god OP is an obnoxious little shit

You're wrong. Accept it and move on. Defending it relentlessly like a hostile pre-pubescent bitch isn't gonna do you any favors.

Stopped reading there.

Orlando Magic aka HOgun Ramen aka the 6-6 bowl cut chump who can't dunk isn't qualified to tell us ANYTHING about basketball.

Of course it matters. It's more wear and tear and minutes throughout the season/playoffs.

Good god OP is an obnoxious little shit

Sums up this thread nicely.

[EnoughSaid]

Miami might actually could have it easier to play in the West. All these fast running and offensively based teams. I'd take the Western teams over games vs. the Pacers, Bulls and Nets.

The west can't play d, and that wins championships

The Miami Heat have a DRTG so low that only one team since the merger has ever won the chip with that low of a DRTG.

OP showing he is biased towards East. Why else would you say that the Champ probably comes from East, and is also saying conferences don't matter when the East is clearly inferior.

Nah, it's only one team has finished outside of the top 10 in DRTG and went on to win it all that year. It was the Lakers squad.

I think he meant in terms of league rank. In which case, he's right considering all the teams you mentioned were ranked higher in their respective seasons.

And are you arguing that pace doesn't matter?
