#2 seed Cavs,with a .615 win % would be the #8 seed in West

[JT123]

Jr Smith playin the exact way he was playing in New York. But don't worry, I expect you to blame him when the Cavs lose at pivotal moments. Vicious cycle.

Who's alt is this?

[jlip]

I've got an idea. Someone should make a thread about how the West is a deeper conference than the East. I don't think that has ever been discussed on ISH before. Also, someone should mention that Lebron plays in the East. That will shock everyone.

[J Shuttlesworth]

Yet I still think most teams would much rather face Houston, Portland, LA, or Dallas than Cleveland in the playoffs.

[T_L_P]

in theory, but its highly unlikely the cavs would be an 8th seed in the west. In reality, the cavs would fall in the category of 3rd to 6th seed. Those teams are houston, portland, clippers and dallas. and i did some stat checking to backup my claim, the cavs are 3-2 against those teams this year.

Cavs are 15-13 against the West.

They'd be the 8th seed.

#3 seed. GTFO

Who's alt is this?

One of the many disgruntled Lakers fans on here. You can tell his moral is in the shitter.

I'm no one's Alt. Joined a few days ago after lurking for a few months. The people that are saying Jr Smith is improving under Lebron are the same ones who were criticizing him for lighting Lebron up with 10 3-pointers about a year ago. Lol.

I presume when the Cavs lose in the playoffs, the same people will fall back in line and begin to point the finger at role players.

How would you know what people on here were saying a year ago if you've only been lurking for a couple months?

Judging by how Lebron butt boys were treating Wade and Co after the Spurs beatdown, I'm able to make an educated guess. All of you guys are the same...

[buddha]

or they could just get rid of the eastern conference, literally get rid of all those franchises. nobody would miss them except Bran stans.

Got him.

Cavs are 15-13 against the West.

They'd be the 8th seed.

#3 seed. GTFO

They also happen to be 11-1 against the West since the roster was overhauled on Jan. 15.

The lone loss was a narrow 105-103 defeat in Houston without Kyrie Irving.

Over that span, they've beaten Golden State, OKC, Portland and LA Clippers (2x). If they did finish in the 8th spot (almost completely due to the first couple months of the season), I have to think GSW would be pretty unhappy.

If the league were to realign geographically, I think it should be like so:

West
Pacific: Golden State, LA Clippers, LA Lakers, Portland, Sacramento
Southwest: Dallas, Denver, Houston, Oklahoma City, Phoenix, San Antonio, Utah

East
Atlantic: Boston, Brooklyn, New York, Philadelphia, Washington
Central: Chicago, Cleveland, Detroit, Indiana, Milwaukee, Minnesota, Toronto
Southeast: Atlanta, Charlotte, Miami, Memphis, New Orleans, Orlando

I also think the playoff format should be top 16 overall. If we look at the top 16 as of yesterday's standings, what about these playoff matchups.

1. Golden State
16. Phoenix

8. San Antonio
9. Cleveland

4. Houston
13. Washington

5. Portland
12. Oklahoma City

2. Atlanta
15. Milwaukee

7. Dallas
10. Chicago

3. Memphis
14. New Orleans

6. LA Clippers
11. Toronto

TBH Cavs probably will win it all anyway, so who cares about records? Seriously, the whole East West thing gets old. This aint Biggie Tupac.

SPURS WILL SWEEP THE CAVS

[OmniStrife]

lol at leastern clowns saying records don't matter...

[Deltron3030]

If cavs were in the west, they would be closer to 9th seed due to a harder schedule actually.
