NBA East - 2 Beasts and No Back
The NBA East for many second childhood has been the weak sister of the NBA, compared to the NBA's West. It has never been also glaring than now, when the elite such as the Los Angeles Lakers, San Antonio Spurs, Phoenix Suns and several other teams make it the deepest convention perhaps in NBA history.
The NBA Eastern Division appears to be a two-team race, and has been for most of the NBA Season. The Boston Celtics include been in the driver's seat in the Atlantic all season, and are cruising to the division title. The Detroit Pistons are doing likewise in the Central. The Orlando Magic, with young phenom Dwight Howard, are in control of the Southeast.
Sadly enough, there testament be diverse teams that will cook the NBA Playoffs outside of the Eastern Conference with losing records. That is what you get when 8 teams make the NBA Playoffs from the East. This no doubt to detain fan interest, albeit in a forged capacity considering the woeful records.
Outside of the Boston Celtics, Orlando Necromancy and Detroit Pistons, the conference is boring and all-inclusive with mediocrity. The Toronto Raptors are solid, and the Cleveland Cavaliers are always competitive while LeBron James is in uniform. The Chicago Bulls are probably the biggest disappointment in the East, while the Atlanta Hawks as well fizzled when expected to make some kind of impact.
So the Detroit Pistons and Boston Celtics carry on at the imagination of the class, looking for all the world like the conflict for the East will go concluded one or both.
