THE RICH GET RICHER

In the NBA, the Western conference is considered the better conference, and with the recent trade news instead of the East gaining ground the West is instead pulling further and further ahead. In the East there are maybe four legit NBA title contenders such as The Celtics (with the best record in the league), Cavs, Magic, Pistons and the rest of the conference is filled with mediocracy. In the West virtually all the teams are playoff contenders. The top 8 ranked teams from each conference make the playoffs, in fact if u moved the 9th, 10th and 11th ranked teams from the west to the East they would be ranked 6th, 7th and 8th respectively making them playoff teams. The West has since added Shaq (Phoenix Suns), Pau Gasol (Lakers) and Jason Kidd (Mavericks), talk about the rich gettin richer.
