Is it me, or the East top 3 are better than the best of the West...by a mile.
...heck, the way ATL is playing, The West would have a hard time eliminating the Hawks.
TP. You're absolutely right with your observation. There are a lot of good teams in the West, but the top of the East is definitely stronger. The Bucks and Nets are the favorites to win the Championship. Their top trio's (Holiday, Middleton, Antetokounmpo) and (Irving, Harden, Durant) are unmatched.
On the other hand, the Western playoffs are very interesting. Jazz, Suns, Clippers, Mavericks, Lakers, Trailblazers, they could all win the West. My darkhorse is the Mavs (Doncic is brilliant).
