So we have 13 players in the West vs 1 in the East and that one in the east is worse than the 13 in the west...


Edit: DWade and Dwight Howard were excluded from this graphic so its 13 vs 3 at this point. The picture still is worth staying imo.

Dwight Howard. 5X First-Teamer, and nobody remembers him anymore.



ETA: Steve Nash has 3, and Dirk Nowitzki has 4. Crazy career for Dwight.

Nope. Don't think so. Whoever made that was just lazy and wanting karma on Reddit.

To the Wade and Howard responders. You guys are actually right. I didnt do my homework before posting this, but IMHO, it is still relevant and still makes my point.

Unless I missed it Wade and Dwight are currently free agents.

Dwight fell on his arse when he went to the Lakers.

Wade hasn't signed with a team though. He could still go to the West. I'm pretty sure Howard is locked in to the Wiz.

And his career is just really weird.

Show me on your graphic where it accounts for this shift in the balance of power:

I hate these threads when some of the guys are on the verge of retirement, but whatever. The disparity in talent is undeniable for now. I just don't want the league to mess with the playoffs because things will swing back the other way at some point.

So long as we are posting about Zaza...

Rachel Nichols did a nice job on the idea of 16 best instead of east v west final.

Travel.
The current schedule is advantageous to east teams.
West teams play each other a lot. East teams can qualify for top 8 home court seeds because they don't play tough schedule.

The only teams against a 16 seed format are eastern teams.

The west already has had a bunch of crazy time zone issues for years given how spread out the west teams are.

I cannot tell you how many Rockets playoff games over the years have started at 10pm. No one seemed to care about that until now because shitty eastern franchises want to maintain their weak path to playoff relevance.
