I think the top 4 teams in the east are as good as any in the west outside the Warriors. That said the bar is way higher in the west to make the playoffs. If teams were grades, Warriors would be the only A. Then the east has a couple of B+'s. Then most of the western playoff teams are B's/B-'s. In the east C's and D's can get into the playoffs. The west you have to be a B to have a chance.
When luck shuts the door skill comes in through the window.

I mean no offense but it's kind of amazing that trash teams like Orlando and Miami are in the playoff picture. The East never ceases to amaze.

"I mean no offense" followed by a very harsh comment smh.
Anyway, I'm rooting for Orlando. You guys have some serious defensive potential. Pissed wolves didn't get a chance to draft Isaac, that guy looks straight up elite on defense.

Thanks, man. Isaac has shown DPOY potential since his rookie season. I kept saying he was the best rookie I had ever seen on the defensive end. And now he's hitting corner 3s like a mad man. Exciting

Good luck for next season and your mini-rebuild without Butler!

That's why you need a rookie Zach Lavine out there. No matter how much anybody tries you're definitely still gonna lose.

If they were they would have played like they gave a damn when the games really mattered instead of when already out of the playoffs and wins mean nothing but losing value on the pick!

Every game matters. Every game means something. Hoping to lose for better picks is for losers.
