You people making a big deal out of this and wishing injury on the blazers is why organizations, companies and governments have to send such safe, souless, communications.

It's a light-hearted joke that the Suns Twitter account hit a home run response with.

Relax, smile, move on.

West is better than the East but the East has been wrecked by injuries pretty hard.

Add a healthy Rose, Bynum, Chandler, D-Will, and Rondo and let's see where the standings are.

East has the title. Don't come over here unless you can take it.

Great tweet. League needs more of this.

More of this stuff, more of Cousins, more toughness and emotion.

The west as a whole is definitely a better conference, but Miami and the Pacers despite their 2 recent losses look like the respective classes of the NBA. There are some abnormal shooting %'s that i'd be surprised if sustained by season end by key role players on many contending teams, Belinelli and Matthews mainly.

As a fan of a "playoff" team in the east, it does pain me to admit however, that the system should be top 16 move forward. Fair is fair. :/

The crappy eastern conference, where running up and down the court without being able to score and having one of the worst conferences in sports history happens.

Oh you mean defense? OK :roll:



I think you are confusing bad offense w/ good defense.

The West is ridiculously deep this year. When you have to face teams THAT talented almost every game, it becomes nearly impossible to keep them all around 92pts.

Meanwhile, in east you get to face one offensively challenged team after another. For example, even top Eastern teams like Bulls(with healthy D-Rose) and Pacers are mediocre offensively. So you can see how that would affect the "points allowed" category you were likely referring to in the earlier post.

If the East was defensively superior to West, the EAST vs WEST record wouldn't be THAT lopsided.

PS. Apologize for any grammatical error. English is my third language.

I chuckled. And to be honest, outside of Miami and Indiana, the Eastern Conference deserves to be laughed at.

Take a chill pill already.

Conference Quality has little to do with one or two teams. It is undeniable to any honest and objective person that the EC from top to bottom is far worse than the WC.

I don't why people want to deny the truth. In 87 the Lakers were the best team in the NBA but that doesn't change the fact the EC was far better than the 87 WC. Right now the opposite is true.

You guys are acting like small children. Do you have any critical or reading comprehension skills? How does that tweet in any way show that the Blazers are being cocky?

If anything it means they just want to be feel more comfortable in the playoff race because the east is weaker. That shows less confidence in the team. Jesus.

Turn about is fair play. When fans from Western Conference teams take shots they also associate themselves with their entire conference. As if every team in the East is responsible for every other team's bad play.

So yeah, yay for being the runner up conference for the last two years. :P

and even as a Heat fan, I say this a bogus comment by Rerisen.

we were _this_ close to lose the finals.
tbh, the Spurs gave us the hardest fight of all teams in the post season... and they were the only team from the western conference we faced in the playoffs.

during the regular season we struggled against the Grizzlies, the Clippers and the Warriors.
funny thing is, they all played in the West.

that we faced the Spurs in the finals was kinda lucky, as we had their number all regular season long.

Is there actually "conference pride"?

Jesus just when I thought I've seen it all...
