Even the top picks are going West
Understood, although it will be interesting to see how ATL (Can Porzingis stay healthy) and Detroit with an ascending Cade will stack up in their record against the West.
Ultimately though if its about winning it all, a 'contending' East team primarily just needs to think in terms of getting to the finals and let the chips fall where they may just as Indiana did last season.
