Hopefully they move to the 1-16 format in the future so we won't have to be subjected to this for much longer.

I may have to invest in league pass. Of course I see John Wall in highlights, but never really "watched" him play until nationally televised playoff games...

lakers are 5-2 vs the best teams in the east

spurs are 5-1 vs the best teams in the east

i would say thats pretty dominant, no surprise lebron is able to dominate vs the average east teams every year

in his 12 years in the league he's faced a team above .500 4 times in the first round, the highest win % team being the knicks 

All obvious facts but...he plays in the east, i'm sorry 

I guess they should put an asterik beside Lebron's dominance because he played in the east. This would be stupid though. 

I don't feel like you should take away from what Lebron has been able to do just because he plays in the east. He goes through the eastern conference playoffs and is very successful, the end.

omg that most 20+ point games at 21 or younger

sub .500 teams dont suddenly become good at basketball just by making the playoffs

This isn't an absolute. Sometime it does, sometimes it doesn't.

no asterik needed, just further proves that all the other rounds are meaningless. this is why championships are always going to be what matters

doesnt matter if you're in the east or the west, you need to be the best of the best to win a ring

the only reason people hype up pointless things like lebron beating on weak east teams is because he has been far from dominant in the finals when it really matters

Hell even Chauncey Billups went to 7 straight conference finals in the East.

Still tripping off of how @a-friend  picked LAC in 7, and after a crazy turn of events, it could happen just how he predicted it would

No the Pistons did, not "Chauncey Billups."
