Go look at the standings. East was better that year as a conference

Not much to debate

45 wins getting you HCA in round 1 tells me all I need to know about a down year in a conference

There actually have been a couple years when the easy win the head to head matchup with the west but it was not last year.

I never said they were better last year. I only said 2022-2023 and your link confirms that. Went 626-604 vs the west that season

I’m still waking up lol. The trend is not good for competition in my opinion. Is what it is.

Not disagreeing as long as we don’t act like the east didn’t have a year here and there in the last 15-20 years where they were better

Hopefully this is not the case but it’s the consensus

Sucks to see Tatum go down but I guess what this means is it's time.....for Brown to morph from Robin into Batman.

This Is the End of the Celtics as We Know Them

Jayson Tatum’s tragic injury isn’t just the nail in the coffin for Boston this year; it may have ended an entire era

I hate the fact Tatum is hurt. As much as I dislike the Celtics, I really like Tatum and no player should go out like this.

That being said, Buck Foston.

Reminds me of the movie The Perfect Storm when the Coast Guard is looking for the Andrea Gail and when the crew is told they're from Gloucester one of the crew says "Glawstuh, they're always from Glawstuh".
