I meant like the top 3-4 west teams are easily bigger powerhouses than the top team in the East.

Oh wow. Celtics must really want to play against KD in the first round.
Not sure why they are doing this.
I mean it looked like they were tanking to avoid Brooklyn on Thurs at Milwaukee, now they are playing everyone full tilt
Yeah I never like saying “oh I’d rather pay this team” but I’d for sure rather have the Bulls in the 1st round.
they're all scared to play the raptors for good reason
yeah i'm sure it's that they're worried about the vaccine mandate, rather than they don't want to play the hottest team in the eastern conference.
Any good team can give any good team trouble, sure. Most any western top 4 makes an eastern underdog.

After a failed season that started with a draft-night trade heightening championship expectations and ended outside of the postseason, the Lakers must re-evaluate everything, from their decision-making to how they surround two All-NBA pillars to their coaching staff. And changes could come soon.
The Lakers are expected to fire head coach Frank Vogel, sources tell The Athletic. Among the franchise’s top targets for the position, multiple sources say, is Toronto Raptors head coach Nick Nurse.
In three seasons as Lakers coach, Vogel helped lead the franchise to the 2020 NBA championship and had a 127-98 record. But these Lakers have been searching for a new voice, and Vogel, who is entering the final year of his contract, saw defensive slippage and had his voice wane throughout the season.
Nurse, who led the Raptors to a championship in 2019, signed a multiyear contract extension in 2020 and has two years left on his deal. It’s unclear whether he will be attainable or whether he would have interest, but the Lakers are hoping the former Coach of the Year is an option with the allure of coaching James and Davis and the appeal of the Los Angeles market. To acquire Nurse, the Lakers would need to receive permission from the Raptors and likely engage them on a prospective trade. Over the next several weeks, expect several other candidates to emerge, including University of Michigan coach Juwan Howard, who interviewed for the opening in 2019.
EL SEGUNDO, Calif. -- LeBron James says he will be hands-off when it comes to the Los Angeles Lakers' offseason decision-making process coming off one of the most disappointing seasons in franchise history.
"That's not my decision," James said in a news conference Monday ahead of the team's exit interviews. "It's not my decision to sit here and say, 'Well, this is what we should bring back and have on the roster.' That would be the front office's decision. And obviously they may ask my input but at the end of the day, they'll make the decision they feel that best suits this franchise going forward."
Joe Gatto leaving the Jokers absolutely gutted me
Boston could also end up facing Cleveland, especially if Allen plays - so yea, it's a reasonable gamble.
