seeds 2-8 are not real contenders. I would love for the Hawks to be a threat but the Cavs handled them pretty easily in the ECF. Same with Chicago.
I'd say Golden State, Houston, LAC, SA, OKC and probably Memphis would all be considered major contenders in the East. That's the difference. The back end teams in the East are playing better ball but they don't have any true contenders outside of Cleveland.

I get what you are trying to say, but I don't think you can bash the 2-8 seeds in the east, then with the same breath say that Houston and Memphis would be contenders in the East. Both teams have looked mediocre coming out of the gate.

This. The East has drastically closed the gap, and may even win the regular season head to head, but in playoff series, Cleveland is the only team that would consistently beat the class of the West. Miami would get waxed as they have no depth and Wade is broken. Chicago might if Rose could find the Wizard and ask for a heart. Every other team is getting better, but lack a superstar and would have a tough time overcoming the mental challenges of a competitive series.

to the OP: NO. its not over. wait until the Goldies and Clips play the east.
Memphis seems to have got old, but I agree with the rest of the list above.
the word major in the clipped in bit means something to the OP.
It means, REALLY.
