I'm a big big pistons fan. That being said...
If you think that the east is even slightly comparable to the west as a conference, you're ignorant and know nothing about basketball. True, indiana has the best record in the NBA, and are 20-8 vs. the west. But, they're 3-5 vs. the spurs, lakers, mavs and kings, which are basically the teams that matter in the west. There is no way in hell they would still have the best record in the NBA if they were in the west. The same goes for any east team, if any of them were in the west, their records would be worse. The east is full of suck this year, minus two teams. NJ is still the most overrated team in the NBA, and Indiana's depth is an illusion. They are a more shallow team than most play them out to be. Just because you have a 6th man of the year doesn't mean you have a good bench. The pistons can't score well enough. Had they drafted Melo... but thats a different topic.
Watch a few games of the first round of the west, then, if you can stomach it, a few of the east, and tell me the east is anywhere as good as the west.
