Celtics played incredible D yesterday, particularly the 2d and 3d quarters.  Rondo had a hand on seemingly every Lkaers pass.  Great effort.  Lakers had little heart and what they had was crushed in the 2d.

This should put an end to the "Western Conference basketball is so much better than the East" talk...

Celtics got taken to 7 games by the Hawks and by the Cavs.  When they got up against the best of the West, a team that rolled through the first three rounds, they absolutely destroyed them.  Guess what... they play defense in the East.

The Western Conference is the C-USA of the NBA, and the Lakers are the UCiF of it.  All offense centered around one person, zero defense.

Celtics > Pistons > Cavs > Hawks > Lakers  ;)

Celtics > Pistons > Cavs > Hawks > Lakers  ;)

How can you say Lakers are worse than the Hawks? I mean, Cavs and Pistons would give them trouble, but the Hawks. Please.

You cant really be serious are you?  Thereare like 6 teams in teh East that wouldnt have even made the playoffs in the West.

Just because the best team happens to be in the East does not mean they can compare, its not even in the same category. 

I thought the Celts had no chance after the Hawks and Cavs series, because those teams are bad.  Celts should have won each eastern conference series easily.

The Golden State Warriors would have been like a 3 seed in the East and didnt even make it in the West. 

Please....

I am pretty sure there was a wink at the end of that... you guys are wound way too tight.  EI was obviously exaggerating just a bit.

I saw the wink, which i took as he was joking about all those teams being better than the lakers. 

But it looks like he is serious saying the Eastern Conference is better than the West. 

Spurs would have beaten the Celtics in what would have been the ugliest finals ever.

I was kidding... relax.

BUT...

The cream of the Western Conference only goes 6 games against the Celts... while the Hawks and Cavs go 7 and the Pistons go 6.

Those same "great" teams that the Lakers ousted in 4 would have somehow been better than the teams that actually had the personnel to take the Celts to 7... which the Lakers couldn't do?

I realize it's a circular argument... but the point is that this should dispose of the theory that the West was so much better.  They actually play D in the East.  Welcome to real basketball.  ;)  (<---- another wink, settle down and take your heart meds, Ari).
