East has been a snooze fest for almost my entire lifetime. I just wait for however comes out while watching the Western Conference Finals. For many years who comes out wasn't even a question whoever team LeBron was on.
It has been a pile of garbage basically for 25 years now and counting. I thought MAYBE a few years ago with the Celtics, Giannis and Embiid it was going to flip. But it hasn't.

The spurs were indeed the 7 seed, I believe in 2010 with over 50 wins. Sam year the Thunder with Durant, Harden and Westbrook won 50 and were the 8 seed. That was the way it always was back in the 2000s. The West was STACKED and largely has been for the last quarter century.
@@vicepresidentmikepence889in 06-07 only 2 teams in the east have 50 wins detroit and cleveland w/ lebron and they are the 2nd seed..in nba finals lebron got swept by the 3rd seed spurs 🤣🤣
No wonder LeFlop stayed in the East for so long. It was basically guaranteed to make a decent playoff run unless your team was ass. Meanwhile teams in the West couldn’t get in with 46-48 wins. Also: ITS A COMPLETE CRAP
Unfortunately for you and your Celtics, it is not out of the question. In my opinion their first round will be the toughest. Looking like either Philly with Embiid back OR the dreaded Heat...
Well sure he can't cakewalk to the finals every year from a trash conference like he did for 16 years, BUT at least he isn't losing in the finals every most seasons and adding to that dubious distinction.

Doesn't make sense, the terrible ASG this year had the East won despite the teams having regular season records outside Boston that are inferior to West teams. History repeats itself from 2007-08.
i love how skap always comes in with context and facts!!! what makes it funny is the lebron stans love to bring up context when discrediting jordan and/or bryant for example. but those same stans never bring up context when talking about how "great" lebron is lol.
I remember when LeChina was out there - prob 2 teams at most who were decent but even then we knew those teams were not contenders for the title. He has had great role players for several years now. No excuses.
Can’t forget the cheated GSW monopolization of the league under the Commissioner & front office officiating’s eye for short term cakewalks. Turns out defacing the game with overrated stats/players & overblown media influence wasn’t it. All of that to get leapfrogged by the NHL & soon the MLS💀
It was even worse. These east teams can't be taken seriously because their star players are soft and chokers. Back in Lebron's time, there barely were any real stars at all lmao. One of the funniest examples is the 2015 Hawks, four "stars" that wouldn't have got that status in the west (maybe Al, but I doubt it)
While the East was TRASH for virtually 16 straight seasons when LeBron was there, it was never THIS bad. 2006-2007 was close. Pistons won the East with 53 wins and the Cavs were second with 50. No one else had 50. Also 2003-2004 was pretty damn bad too. Two 50 win teams that season, but ONLY FIVE TEAMS OVER .500!
Yes and does that make LeBron overrated, since he only beat eastern conference in all those years except 3 out of 16 years. 2 of those with Dwade and Bosh and one with reloaded Cleveland team?
Milwaukee should fire Doc ASAP and bring back Buddenholzer to close out the season. 4 month contract or whatever. If he does well bring him back full time.
You know there is a problem when the main event in the eastern conference was following the Detroit Pistons losing streak to 28. If Embiid didn't got injured so soon, sixers could had bring some emulation in this conference
I agree with your Sixers point. And now he is back and healthy. Which could prove for some very interesting first round series against possibly the Bucks actually.
@chauvintookaknee4blm268 They were 1-1 vs the Lakers,Clippers and Thunder the Nuggets won the season series 2-0 but all the other playoff teams didn't get a win vs Boston. I have Boston as favorite vs any team out west except the Nuggets. And I hate the Celtics.
Same here, I literally had Bucks coming out of the east and Nuggets out of the west. But once the Buck replaced the HC for Doc Rivers, I changed my mind.
Celtics have the best record in the nba vs western conference teams …. They have the best record vs. eastern conference teams they have the best record vs. the entire nba. It doesn’t matter what conference the Celtics are the best team and have the best offense and top 3 defensive ratings. Celtics haters always have nonse to spew to undermine the Celtics. Statistics don’t like
The eastern conference has been weak since 1999. This is the same east LeBronto dominated for 15 seasons and was given all kinds of awards he didn’t deserve. I said it years ago, if LeBron played in the west he would have never made it to 2 straight NBA finals let alone 8.
I don’t feel no sympathy for MIL. They didn’t want to give Griffin a chance, yet Giannis seems to forget that he’s still learning the game. His shot and post game needs work, so he should remember that when he doesn’t want to give AG a chance.
I wouldn't say the Eastern Conference is that weak. I think the Bucks and the Cavaliers can take the Boston Celtics to 7 games. As a Sacramento Kings fan, I wish my Sacramento Kings was in the Eastern Conference instead of going through this tuff ass Western Conference all the damn time
To be fair East been way more injured all year. Knicks, Cavs, Pacers, Heat, Philly have all had many major injuries. I'll go over some. Heat have their 2 top scorers both under 60 games played. Herro is under 40. Bam isn't at 70. The only player above 70 is Triple J with 71 games played. Philly obviously have Embiid missing half the season. He hasn't hit the 40 games mark yet. Besides that Oubre, Maxey, and Harris (their 3 next leading scorers) have also not hit 70 games yet. Cavs have had Garland and Spida out for large stretches this season. None of the 2 have hit 60. (55 and 53 respectively) Mobley hasn't even hit 50. Those 3 are probably their 3 best players Pacers haven't had an awful amount of injuries. Haliburton hasn't hit 70 games but more importantly the injury clearly impacted his play. Also important to point out how Siakam has only played 38 games because of the trade coming mid season. Pacers are a better team than their record suggests Knicks is pretty obvious. You can't use total games here because half their roster was traded for mid season but a lot of the players they acquired have missed time. OG has only played 19 games when he has been on the Knicks for about 40 potential games. Mitchell Robinson has been out since early season, and Randle is also out for the season. Btw just for comparison Nuggets have had 4/5 starters play 70 games and OKC have had 7 players hit 70, 4 of which are there starters as well. I think Memphis took all the injuries for the West this season lmao. Besides them (and somewhat T wolves) every West team has been crazy healthy. Luka, LeBron, AD and many other west stars have been playing more than they usually do. West also have more teams that are likely to be fraudulent. Knicks and Bucks are more likely to win the chip than Timberwolves and OKC imo. If Bucks didn't have the Doc Rivers curse that is. Idk i might be defensive because i'm a Celtics fan so i don't want their great season diminished by the underperformance of their competition.
This is very well documented. BUT you say Nuggets have had 4 of 5 starters player 70 games. BUT their second best player has missed like 25. The Wolves have been without KAT and Gobert for large stretches. And the Mavericks have been depleted. All of those teams are going to win over 50 games. Same goes for the already thin Suns who lost Beal for much of the season.
Knicks with Julius And OG. Went 14 and 2 and spanked all of the top teams in the league. Nuggets,T wolves, Sixers when Embiid was Healthy. I swear if we stay healthy next Year watch out.
Sorry. The current style of play and talent pool made it bad enough, but the injuries are what take this conference and put it in conversation for all-time terrible.
I hope the media don’t drag Bronny through the mud when he inevitably burns out of the NBA or turns into a role player all because his father is their darling. That’s gonna be too much pressure on that young man’s shoulders.
I mean…… he’s right. The eastern conference has been a heaping pile of trash for the better part of this century so far and this year isn’t any different.
How has this happened for so long? In the early 2000s it was the same thing, teams with almost 50 wins missing the playoffs in the West and teams with losing records making the playoffs in the East.
The East is full of lazy and corrupt GMs and front offices while the West is full of smart and savvy ones. Eastern teams are run by owners who are lazy
The East was considered the stronger Conference in the 80s and 90s, “the beast east”. And then lebrons era it was called the “Leastern Conference”. make of that what you will.
This decade might have another Finals parity just like in the 70s and most of them coming from Western Conference teams however the NBA are suffering on their ratings just like 50 years ago and much worst due to LeBalco Juice and his son, Bronny and too much shooting 3s (blame Steph curry as well). 😤
I hope in the future that we could see the NBA changes from Eastern and Western to American and National so the conferences won't be so lopsided like the MLB.
Definitely going to have to touch on it. But I am also feeling compelled to talk about the HEINOUS suns performance tonight. Absolutely inexcusable performance by them. 10.5 point favorites and they lose by 15. Down TWENTY SEVEN at the end of the first quarter!!
I always knew the Dame trade hurting the Bucks defense would come back go haunt them but to fire Adrian Griffin and bring in Glenn Rivers, yeah I never saw that coming. I thought maybe the Bucks can try and go all in on surrounding Dame and Giannis with defenders but even if they did that, yeah their championship hopes were gone we soon as Glenn came into the picture.
Skap, I don't care what anyone says, I honestly think they brought Doc over to that team as controlled demolition...and he's not the only one in on it. Dame could possibly be in on it, and it may be a setup for a future venture for Giannis. It's just too weird their falloff under Doc...and NO one is saying anything about it. I don't buy it.
I think it's unfair to judge Jrue's value in terms of scoring. I believe his value is really his defense, so for me, replacing him with Lillard downgraded their chance of winning the chip. Champions historically have the best mix of great offense and great defense in the seasons they won.
It really is man, I can't lie. Lots of mediocrity. It's so weird to me that literally even back in the 2000s the Western Conference was always really strong and competitive, and then the Eastern Conference had teams mostly right around .500, or even below sometimes
The bucks suck because Giannis is mid despite having all star Damian Lillard, he also choked against the 8 seeded heat while stinking it up in the 4th quarters. It's funny how your blaming the FO for Giannis failures, yet bash ppl who do the same for Lebron
The Bucks are truly done after the win vs the Celtics tonight. Giannis injury is gonna keep him out the final 3 games for sure. Could be done for the season.
While I disagree that the East is trash, I will say that it's bad that it has only one 50 win team (the 60+ win Boston Celtics) atop multiple possible 40 win teams at the _end_ of the season. Only at the end of the video did my question of whether there was a conference where there was only one 50+ win team, that team being a 60 win team, and everyone below them has only 40 - and even that was 20 years ago and the team only won 50 some games.
I disagree with the east being pure trash. I do think the Celtics are the best team in the East, however, I think the teams at the lower end of the conference overachieved which makes the Bucks look horrific. Boston has to be careful as any team other than the Bucks is hungry and looking to upset them. The Bucks moves in the off-season, the in season coaching change has been disastrous.
The East is trash because ever since MJ's 2nd 3peat in 1998 , the East has only won 8 championships : •2004 Pistons •2006 Heat •2008 Celtics •2012 Heat •2013 Heat •2016 Cavaliers •2019 Raptors •2021 Bucks
Lets be real, the Celtics have proven time and time again that they crap their pants come playoff time. The champion is gonna come from the western conference.

Heat have their 2 top scorers both under 60 games played. Herro is under 40. Bam isn't at 70. The only player above 70 is Triple J with 71 games played.
Philly obviously have Embiid missing half the season. He hasn't hit the 40 games mark yet. Besides that Oubre, Maxey, and Harris (their 3 next leading scorers) have also not hit 70 games yet.
Cavs have had Garland and Spida out for large stretches this season. None of the 2 have hit 60. (55 and 53 respectively) Mobley hasn't even hit 50. Those 3 are probably their 3 best players
Pacers haven't had an awful amount of injuries. Haliburton hasn't hit 70 games but more importantly the injury clearly impacted his play. Also important to point out how Siakam has only played 38 games because of the trade coming mid season. Pacers are a better team than their record suggests
Knicks is pretty obvious. You can't use total games here because half their roster was traded for mid season but a lot of the players they acquired have missed time. OG has only played 19 games when he has been on the Knicks for about 40 potential games. Mitchell Robinson has been out since early season, and Randle is also out for the season.
Btw just for comparison Nuggets have had 4/5 starters play 70 games and OKC have had 7 players hit 70, 4 of which are there starters as well.
I think Memphis took all the injuries for the West this season lmao. Besides them (and somewhat T wolves) every West team has been crazy healthy. Luka, LeBron, AD and many other west stars have been playing more than they usually do. West also have more teams that are likely to be fraudulent. Knicks and Bucks are more likely to win the chip than Timberwolves and OKC imo. If Bucks didn't have the Doc Rivers curse that is. Idk i might be defensive because i'm a Celtics fan so i don't want their great season diminished by the underperformance of their competition.
This is very well documented. BUT you say Nuggets have had 4 of 5 starters player 70 games. BUT their second best player has missed like 25. The Wolves have been without KAT and Gobert for large stretches. And the Mavericks have been depleted. All of those teams are going to win over 50 games. Same goes for the already thin Suns who lost Beal for much of the season.
Knicks with Julius And OG. Went 14 and 2 and spanked all of the top teams in the league. Nuggets,T wolves, Sixers when Embiid was Healthy. I swear if we stay healthy next Year watch out.
Life's not fair you muppet, they just playing bball
Sorry. The current style of play and talent pool made it bad enough, but the injuries are what take this conference and put it in conversation for all-time terrible.
@Ezekial2517 Far from all time failure. The east has been way worst then it is now on many occasions.
The balance of power shifted heavily to the west, and stayed there, when Shaq left Orlando for the Lakers.
Don't be surprised if the Heat make it to the NBA finals and beat the Celtics and Bucks in the process again
I hope the media don’t drag Bronny through the mud when he inevitably burns out of the NBA or turns into a role player all because his father is their darling. That’s gonna be too much pressure on that young man’s shoulders.
I mean…… he’s right. The eastern conference has been a heaping pile of trash for the better part of this century so far and this year isn’t any different.
Also keep in mind that the Knicks have been playing through injuries for the past few months and still in good standings.
How has this happened for so long? In the early 2000s it was the same thing, teams with almost 50 wins missing the playoffs in the West and teams with losing records making the playoffs in the East.
The East is full of lazy and corrupt GMs and front offices while the West is full of smart and savvy ones.
Eastern teams are run by owners who are lazy
Like the 80s and 90s aswell
The East was considered the stronger Conference in the 80s and 90s, “the beast east”. And then lebrons era it was called the “Leastern Conference”. make of that what you will.
The Dallas Mavericks would be the Second Best Team in the East right now that’s how stacked the west is
These dudes need to be fined for flexing and mean mugging. No flexing until the Finals!!!
This decade might have another Finals parity just like in the 70s and most of them coming from Western Conference teams however the NBA are suffering on their ratings just like 50 years ago and much worst due to LeBalco Juice and his son, Bronny and too much shooting 3s (blame Steph curry as well). 😤
Doc Rivers prepares for games by playing 2k
Anyone whose been around the past quarter century knows the East has been viewed this way more often not.
I hope in the future that we could see the NBA changes from Eastern and Western to American and National so the conferences won't be so lopsided like the MLB.
Nah I hope it stay west and the east I like it
@@robertevbayekha6639 it continues to be lopsided then
@@ADESpider96 then the east have to do a better job sorry 🤷♂️
@@robertevbayekha6639 it not that simple.
@@ADESpider96 Of course it not but I’m just saying they have step for in like years
Great video. The NBA is hilarious right now 😂😂😂
Sir will you be talking about GS spanking LeBalco?
Definitely going to have to touch on it. But I am also feeling compelled to talk about the HEINOUS suns performance tonight. Absolutely inexcusable performance by them. 10.5 point favorites and they lose by 15. Down TWENTY SEVEN at the end of the first quarter!!
@@skap_attack Oh my now THAT's a dumpster fire effort......no Leonard either....Westbrick >>>Durcan't
lets talk abt GS getting spanked by the kings and Curry not making the playoffs for the third time in 5 years.
I always knew the Dame trade hurting the Bucks defense would come back go haunt them but to fire Adrian Griffin and bring in Glenn Rivers, yeah I never saw that coming. I thought maybe the Bucks can try and go all in on surrounding Dame and Giannis with defenders but even if they did that, yeah their championship hopes were gone we soon as Glenn came into the picture.
Where's the 2016 Warriors 73-9 record?
I don't blame Doc Rivers for their problems. I blame the players. They are just not committed to defense. Effort matters
The problem with the Bucks is that Gianis isn’t playing like Gianis. He’s being way too passive.
Skap, I don't care what anyone says, I honestly think they brought Doc over to that team as controlled demolition...and he's not the only one in on it. Dame could possibly be in on it, and it may be a setup for a future venture for Giannis. It's just too weird their falloff under Doc...and NO one is saying anything about it.
I don't buy it.
I think it's unfair to judge Jrue's value in terms of scoring. I believe his value is really his defense, so for me, replacing him with Lillard downgraded their chance of winning the chip. Champions historically have the best mix of great offense and great defense in the seasons they won.
Oh man the vomiting guy at 4:56 had me laughing so hard
Steph getting to 6 finals in the west >>>>>>>>> Lebron getting to 9 in the east
Wasn't it referred as the "Leastern Conference" some time ago?
I was wondering what your thoughts were on the Bucks Front Office... feel free to not hold back ;-)
It really is man, I can't lie. Lots of mediocrity. It's so weird to me that literally even back in the 2000s the Western Conference was always really strong and competitive, and then the Eastern Conference had teams mostly right around .500, or even below sometimes
The bucks suck because Giannis is mid despite having all star Damian Lillard, he also choked against the 8 seeded heat while stinking it up in the 4th quarters. It's funny how your blaming the FO for Giannis failures, yet bash ppl who do the same for Lebron
Boston better make it to the NBA Finals
The playoffs have confirmed this. Euro League champion today would put up more of a fight than the Pacers.
We all know Kobe was the real MVP in 2009 and 2010 leading the Lakers out the stacked western conference to three straight finals and winning two.
The Bucks are truly done after the win vs the Celtics tonight. Giannis injury is gonna keep him out the final 3 games for sure. Could be done for the season.
Current NBA defense looks like plumbers are playing defense 😂😂😂
The Least-ern conference is a waste of space.
As a celtics fan we have no excuse we are healthy and ready to go.. no more excuses lets go get banner 18
Play-offs in the east is gonna be SO boring man🥱
While I disagree that the East is trash, I will say that it's bad that it has only one 50 win team (the 60+ win Boston Celtics) atop multiple possible 40 win teams at the _end_ of the season.
Only at the end of the video did my question of whether there was a conference where there was only one 50+ win team, that team being a 60 win team, and everyone below them has only 40 - and even that was 20 years ago and the team only won 50 some games.
How is it so obvious to fans when a coach sucks? Forget scouting players, they need to get analytics to scout coaches!
Who won the chip? Yup you guessed it.
As a Celtics fan, I have to concede defeat. We really have no competition this year. I ain’t complaining tho 😈😈😈😈😈😈😈😈
its time to get rid of havign two separate conferences. All teams should play eachother in one major league. For the better integrity of the sport.
I disagree with the east being pure trash. I do think the Celtics are the best team in the East, however, I think the teams at the lower end of the conference overachieved which makes the Bucks look horrific. Boston has to be careful as any team other than the Bucks is hungry and looking to upset them. The Bucks moves in the off-season, the in season coaching change has been disastrous.
The East is trash because ever since MJ's 2nd 3peat in 1998 , the East has only won 8 championships :
•2004 Pistons
•2006 Heat
•2008 Celtics
•2012 Heat
•2013 Heat
•2016 Cavaliers
•2019 Raptors
•2021 Bucks
I just don't know why every star likes to go West, now you see every legend, veteran all-star wanting to go west. Why do they like goong there!!!
I get a conference being diwn from time to time, but how is the eastern conference almost always bad top to bottom...for decades?!
Basically since the late 90s. Yes! Over a quarter of a century now!!!
@@skap_attack but how???
Lets be real, the Celtics have proven time and time again that they crap their pants come playoff time. The champion is gonna come from the western conference.
Agreed completely. IF the Nuggets core players are healthy for the postseason, I don't see anyway they lose...
@@skap_attacki agree and i believe its for the best of the game if the nuggets turn into a legitimate dynasty. Keep up the good work, criticize this pampered era and give props to the players and organizations that are worth the praise. Your videos are the best entertainment
@@CharisBozonis I’m with you on the nuggets…and many thanks for continuing to tune into the channel. I appreciate you 🙏❤️
