Seriously, I'm starting to think the East will never be stronger than the west...
But I do think some West teams might come over here and struggle with the brand of basketball played here, its more sloppy, rough, and slow.

Well, at least we aren't Cleveland... seriously... Indians, Cavs, Browns... ouch.

I agree. Over the last 2 years we've played the Cavs 21 times and the Bulls 14 times. The same with the Pacers back when we won it in 2004. The sheer familiarity with the Pistons and being division rivals make them dangerous regardless of their record.

I thought we played everyone in our Division 4 times per year & the rest of the east 4-3-4-3?

The East is ridiculous. The fact that Miami and New York still have an outside chance to make the playoffs proves this.
Even though talented players moved from the west to the east, only one team has really benefited: Boston. Randolph actually made his new team worse; Lewis is a good player but really was just paid like a superstar and JRich has been playing well but Charlotte is still a bottom-feeder.
Meanwhile, the west is still so jam-packed with talented teams that Portland has had to win 14 of 15 just to make the 7th seed! What a difference.
