Will Memphis finish .500? How about the Pelicans? Utah? How about Minnesota? Denver? Portland? Who rounds out the West playoffs?

I see Memphis, Dallas, Utah and New Orleans all fighting for the last three spots with 46-48 wins getting you that 7th & 8th seed.

You be sure to do that.

This thread got a weee bit derailed....but back to topic.
It all depends on how you define dominance; if you put it at a percentile, I don't think we're going to be seeing 60-40 West over East again.
That said, I think most of the reason behind this is going to be the shift into better competitiveness for middle of the pack Eastern Conference teams.
I think seeing 55-45 West is going to be the norm for the next few years-- right now, the West is also home to the league's major underperformers, plus hasn't had its best teams play a ton of interconference games yet.
It'll all balance out.

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.
BUMP
Unless my calculation is wrong, the East is currently 201-213 against the West this year. A winning percentage of 0.486.
The 'dominance' is over. The West is still clearly better at the top, and the East is dragged down a bit at the bottom by Philly's play. Other than that, the conferences are at least equal, and you can certainly argue that the East is more balanced.

Uh... So you bumped this thread to prove you were wrong?

Spurs/Warriors are 48-8 vs the East.
I wonder how much of the current difference is strictly due to 2 of the greatest teams of all time being in the West?

We must have different opinions of "dominance." Playing close to 450 games, somebody has to have a better record.

And for the 500th year in a row, it's the West.
And the two overwhelming favorites to win the title are in the West.

It's time for non-conference based playoff seeding in the nba. Spurs-GSW shouldn't have to face ech other without the title on the line
Posted on 3/25/16 at 10:53 am to RonBurgundy
Other pro sports don't do it like that, why should the NBA?

Let's keep pushing those goalposts.

I heard that repeatedly when the Lakers led by 4 hall of famers were supposed to embarrass the Pistons in 2004.
That's one way to look at it. Someone else can say that the cavs (or raptors) will have a tougher route to the conference finals than the Warriors or Spurs.
