The Cavs walk through the East, get smoked by role players in the first 2 games and then LeBron and Co need to shoot lights out and have the entire warriors team to be off a night to win a game. Even at full strength the Cavs and KI having a career night can't keep up with the west, even when the West is supposedly down.

I honestly think the East got better, but the Cavs also drew some very favorable matchups.

Do we really need to act like this is a thing given who accomplished it?

Posted this the other day.

East playoff teams were 61-67 against west playoff teams. East teams were 6-26 against GS and SA. They were 55-41 against all other west playoff teams,.

Looks like the west was much better at the top and east was deeper overall.
