The Western Conference simply has better coaching, Gregg Popovich, Phil Jackson, and Jerry Sloan to name a few. The East on the other hand has geniuses like Mike Brown, Isiah Thomas, and Maurice Cheeks. When you think about it, Toronto Raptors Head Coach Sam Mitchell has got to be floored knowing that he might be the best overall coach the Eastern Conference has to offer.
4) The Chicago Bulls and the Miami Heat
Think about it, we know Detroit can hang with the best, Boston is certainly proving it’s worth this year, Cleveland, Orlando, and Toronto are all decent teams on the way up. If youcount it, that’s5 out of 15 teams that are legit. If Chicago and Miami hadn’t been such colossal disappointments, the East wouldn't look all that bad. If both those teams were playing well, or at least as well as most thought going into the season. The Eastern Conference playoffs would’ve become interesting in the first round, thus making the NBA just that much more exciting.
The Western Conference might be the better conference right now, but what’s more important is that the NBA is better right now.
