I love how people don't count Cleveland in anything having to do with the East. Lebron and Boozer playing that well, 7 straight, they are playing as good, if not better then anyone in the NBA. 3 weeks ago they were 10th in the east, now they are playoff bound. They are without a doubt good enough to spoil anyones playoff run.
IMO, NJ is not the best team in the east, Indiana is. 16-5 (Only 5 games they've lost have been LA/Sac/Minn 2 times/SA) against teams in the west. Best record on basketball. NJ is not even close to anything the Pacers are. NJ is around .500 against the west. (3-9 against LA/SAC/Houston/SA and Dallas). Indiana leads the season series with NJ 2-1.
No question who the best in the east is.
EDIT: w00t, go Cleveland!
