In all fairness too, the East is not as deep as the Western conference. Cavs on't have an okay opponent until the Eastern conference finals.

I think it breaks down something like this:

East's top 3 teams > West's top 3 teams

West's 4-9 teams > East's 4-9 teams

East's bottom-feeders > West's bottom-feeders

Yes, the Cavs played the Pistons and now the Hawks, but they earned that privilege by winning 66 games. Since January, everyone knew that the top seed would be vital b/c the drop-off from the East's 3 to the 4. No apologies for who they play.

are you kidding me? you have got be joking.

cavs, celtics with no garnett, and the magic better than the lakers, nuggets, and rockets(highest seed remaining in the west though san antonio was the 3)????

Nuggets and rockets would wreck the celtics and magic. the magic are up and down and boston is not nearly as good as when they had garnett. then you have lakers and cavs, which the records in the regular season would consider a flip of the coin though LA is 2-0 versus the cavs this season.

c'mon man the east is so weak. the hawks got blown out by the heat three times. THE HEAT. THREE TIMES. And on top of that they lose horford and williams from an already thin lineup.

the west is a lot stronger than the east.

Lakers>Cavs-hard to say but LAs 2-0 record is impressive. it isnt a coincidence that the only time the cavs lost at home was the only time LA was in town.

Nuggets>Celtics-Nuggets looked really impressive dismantling the hornets. Celtics have no KG and havent been overly impressive.

Spurs<Magic-this one would go to the spurs easily if they had ginobli. im really not too impressed with the magic but they are still in it despite trying to lose to the 76ers.

Trail Blazers>Hawks-obvious one.

Rockets>Heat-not even close.

Mavs>76ers-without a doubt.

Hornets<Bulls-any team that gets beat by 58 sucks.

Jazz>Pistons-not close.

So 6 of 8 go to the west with lakers/cavs being a close one.

you have to consider the huge fricking gap between the east's middle teams and #3, whereas it is marginal in the west.

Re: Celtics-Nuggets

Regular season Celtics were much better than the Nuggets, but w/o KG & Powe, playoff Nuggets are probably better than the playoff Celtics.

Just said it was a "poke in the eye", nothing more. No scratch cornea.

But Joe Johnson has a severe ankle sprain.
