NBA - Is Western conference dominance over the East finished?

The East is currently 21-17 vs. the West. Comparing the records of similarly seeded teams (1 seed vs. 1 seed, 8 seed, vs. 8 seed) shows that the records are pretty similar, if not identical. The East has had some surprise teams play well, but also some teams that will likely play much better as the season rolls on (Washington, Boston, both 3-4).
In the West, surely Memphis and Houston will pick it up. But Minnesota, Denver, and Dallas at 4-4? How long can those teams keep it up?
Has the East caught up? Or will Western Conference dominance return as the season progresses?

There was some decent discussion of this in one of the recent warrior threads. I think LE made the point that 4-5 of the west playoff teams will be worse than last year, yet I also agree with another guy who said their lower tier playoff teams would still probably contend in the east.

West is still a lot better.
East has beaten up on a depleted Pels and terrible Lakers (6 of their 21 wins).
East is also 7-0 vs Philly, West 1-0.
Stats are skewed this early. Also, Warrios and Clippers have combined to only play 1 game vs the East.
I do think the East has improved more this year than the West, but is still way behind.

To add to this, this translates to a 0.553 winning percentage.
Last season, the East was 187-263 vs. the West. 0.415 winning percentage.

Why does it feel like we see this thread every year and it always turns out the same?
No the East is painfully lagging behind still.
You left out New Orleans and all their injuries out of the OP btw.
