It is said that the NBA is strong in the west and weak in the east, so what is strong in the west and weak in the east? The Eastern Conference opponents are weak, so the teammates are also weak?

The NBA is strong in the west and weak in the east, which should be an indisputable fact. Most of them still recognize it. After all, real data and real performance are there.

For this reason, it is easy to conclude that

is easier to reach the playoffs in the East than in the West, and it is easier to reach the finals in the East than to reach the finals in the West. The two conclusions of

are basically the conclusions drawn by the facts over the years, but some groups are still dissatisfied, so the classic remarks come:

Are the weak teammates from the Eastern Conference weak? So although the West is strong and the East is weak, it is not difficult to reach the finals in the East than to reach the finals in the West.

If you have watched the competition normally and think about it, you will basically not say such words. There is no need to refute it here. After all, there is no logic in this view. Just give an example:

In 2011, the Pacers, the eighth-ranked Pacers in the East, had 37 wins and 45 losses, and they could enter the playoffs with just 37 wins and 37 wins in the East, while the Grizzlies in the West, had 46 wins and 36 losses, and the West was strong and the East was weak, which was obvious.

However, the Heat lineup includes James, Wade and Bosh. May I ask, is Bosh's teammate weak? His teammates are Wade, who won the championship and FMVP in his third season of his career, and James, who followed him to join the Heat team.

In 2011, the East was weak, and Bosh's teammates were not weak. The same is true for 2012-2014.

Let me briefly explain here, what is strong in the west and weak in the east?

The so-called strong west and weak east means that there are more strong teams in the west and fewer strong teams in the east.

The West may have the strength to compete for the championship every season, while the East may have only 2-3 teams. The top 8 in the West has certain competitiveness, while the top 8 in the East may not be the top 8 in the East. Sometimes, starting from the sixth in the East, they are actually making up the numbers.

What will happen if this happens?

Take the first in the East and West as an example:

Take the first in the East, the opponent in the first round may be the 37-win East, and probably only 12th in the West, the lottery team, so the first round of the playoffs in the East may be simpler than the team's practice game.

The opponent in the second round is 4th or 5th in the East, which is about 45 wins and 46 wins. In an exaggerated season, it is the level of 7th and 8th in the West, so the difficulty of the second round of the East, the first round of the East is probably as simple as the first round of the West.

Eastern Conference Finals are the real strong showdown.

The first round of the West is the same as the second round of the East. The second round of the first round of the West is already a strong showdown, and the Western Conference is the second strong showdown.

Simply put, the first three rounds of the Western Conference playoffs are probably equivalent to the second round of the Eastern Conference, the Eastern Conference Finals, and the Eastern Conference Finals, and the difference in intensity is very obvious.

So it is not an exaggeration to say that it is easier to reach the finals in the East than to reach the finals in the West.

If the West is strong and the East is weak, and the East is weak, there will be no suspense. Such a team is news that it is not to reach the finals, and reaching the finals is just a basic requirement.

Let's give a simple metaphor:

Suppose the team leader is 100 yuan, the second is 50 yuan, the third is 20 yuan, the other teammates are 20 yuan, and the team totals 190 yuan.

At this time, the bosses of the three teams are in one team, so there is 300 yuan here. Compete with a group of teams that may not even be able to make up for 190 yuan. What's there to show off if you win?

Finally, in one sentence, weak Eastern Conference does not mean that Eastern Conference teammates are weak, thank you!
