    Can we just skip ahead to Cavs-Warriors already.  These playoffs have been awful.

    You could put him on any team in the west and it'd be same thing.

    Everyone has been complaining about his "killer instinct"?  Yeah, I think he's found it...

    Probably would've been eliminated by the Mavs, Spurs, or Warriors at least once in the last 6 years.  Oh wait, he was!  By all three!

    Point is, put him in the Western Conference and it wouldn't be the same thing.  There's actually competition over there.  The EC is a joke.

    No true about Lebron.  Put him on any WC team and it's instant title contender.  He's that good.

    Not denying that.  Just saying it's a hell of a lot easier to get thru the East than the West.  Put Lebron in the West I have no doubt his team makes the playoffs, even wins a Championship or 3, but it's highly unlikely he makes 6 (soon to be 7) straight finals appearances.  And if he did manage to pull that off, he'd have 6 or 7 straight Championships because he'd be facing trash Eastern Conference teams in the Finals.  Hard to deny that the Spurs, Warriors, Thunder, & Rockets would ALL roll over any other Eastern Conf team that Lebron doesn't play for.

    Thunder and Rockets would be fun to watch in the east but they aren't even on par with the warriors and Spurs.  Those two teams are still a few parts short.

    There's no one in the West that's very good other than GS when Leonard went down.  This isn't a hard road for the warriors.

    I agree with this.

    Wondering what free agency will do the next few years?  Shake things up some?

    Wall, Griffin, George, Paul, Hayward...

    Things might get interesting!

    Stephen A hits on what @mrussel1 was saying and I agree.

    If this is the product the NBA is giving it's bad, BUT if the great NBA teams play half/assed through out the regular season then this is what the game is.

    You can draft all you want like the 76ers, Clippers and Brooklyn and still won't go anywhere...

    At this point they should cancel the rest of the conference finals and go straight into the NBA finals ...

    I think the Celtics made my point Friday night.  The East is fucking trash.  A 1-seed losing by 40+.  What a fucking joke.

    How is the West materially better?  I don't think you've made the point.  The issue is that there's a super team out west and east.  No one had a chance against either of them.

    Cavs, GS and Spurs.  Everyone else is a second class citizen.

    Who is the next best player in the east?

    Spurs lose Leonard and they fall apart.  How are they a great team with that?  I'm not arguing that seeds 2-4 are better or equal in the East, but what's really the difference who has a better #3 when they don't have a chance to get by the Cavs or Warriors?  It's completely irrelevant who has better second class citizens.
