But that doesn't mean they can't get upset in the playoffs either. (I doubt it, but possible) Also, people are ignoring what Memphis is doing, saying they don't have playoff experience, Phoenix didn't have any either until last year. Memphis reminds me of last year's Suns IMO. Team health is imperative. GS doesn't have their key players so you can't leave them out of the picture. I never said the East was better than the West. I said they were closing the gap, and they have at least this year.
The stat of how many games separate the Top 6 is what I was referencing in terms of how your numbers unfairly punish the strength of the west. The west has a bigger gap because Phoenix has pulled away from the rest of the league, not just relative to the west. The 6th seeds in both conferences have been very comparable all year long but you're presenting a point of data to make it seem otherwise is all I'm saying.
