I was just looking at the overall standings in the East tonight following our loss (and take into account that I am very sleep deprived and in the middle of mid-term hell at this point) and I believe I noticed that we are one of only five teams in the East that are over .500.

Now, given our recent history, I don't think I ever believed that I would be able to say we're on the right side of .500 in the East any time soon, but more importantly, just how the hell can the East be this atrociously bad?

Bad GM's, bad drafting, questionable signings, terrible management of cap space, incompetent coaches.... I have no idea why this is all heavily tilted towards the East though... just a bizarre coincidence I guess...

The funny thing is the Cavs and Magic's GMs have been pretty terrible too.

Giving Rashard Lewis $20 million per year.

Cavs gave Hughes a huge contract, lost Boozer by a huge huge mistake.

They are only above .500 because they got #1 picks and drafted top 5 players in Howard and James.

Boston's GM Danny Ainge has been TERRIBLE until this past offseason. He sold any future for his above .500 team.

That leaves Detroit and Toronto as the only two teams who have really built themselves into deserving that .500+ record IMO.
