With The top 2 teams in the east deadlocked
With 2 sub .500 east teams, does this mean we have underated the lower tier teams. We all know Detroit and Boston are great teams, so how come it has to be them choking it away, instead of it being a top team versus a vastly underated team.Although the West has all the regular seaosns wins, the east is playing competetive

The lower teams have nothing to lose. Kinda like the Bulls in 06 tied Miami 2-2 in round 1 and everyone said they were overrated but yet won the title.
That just woke them up.

1) Look at the second half of the season stats. For instance, Philly started horribly, but has been playing like a mid seed for the second half of the season.
2) Basketball is more about matchups than anything, and only people that don't know anything about the sport look ONLY at numbers.
3) Young teams can get athletic/hot against older teams in the playoffs and pull out momentum based wins

Answer?
Half the West teams look like playoff jokes. The West is nowhere near as competitive as the records would have you believe.
2-2 with HCA is "choking it away"?

Which West team are you a fan of?
