The East leads 75-68 and the difference is expected to expand soon as more mediocre West teams are expected to have their East trips...
IMO, the East is so much better than the West this season, that the final record by the end of the season will be near 250-200 in favor of the East...
Two reasons:
1. All teams but the Wizards, the Knicks, the Cavs and the Hawks in the East, are playoffs level teams..
2. Traditional forces of the West on the Spurs, the Warriors, the Blazers and the Thunder, joined the Wolves and the Pelicans path from last season and are no longer threats... As a consequence, mediocre teams like the Nuggets, the Rockets, the Kings and the Suns are competing for a playoff spot in the West, while they would have no chance to hope making the top-8 if they were in the East...
The balance is expected to favor the East even more after Olandipo returns for the Pacers at sometime around the All star game break this season and even expand further in favor of the East next season, when the NETs and the Wizards will have KD and Wall back in action...
