How Did The West Get So Weak This Year? (NBA)

[Turf Hitta]

How did the West go from the monster it was last year to what it is now? The top of the West still looks pretty strong but the West has 6 teams with a winning % of .250 or less while the East only has one. Did the East actually get better or is this simply a result of small sample size and strength of schedule?

^I was looking at the standings yesterday and thought the same thing..so many damn weak ass teams..

1. Gasol trade killed Memphis
2. Brand's backstabbing killed the Clippers
3. Davis going for the money killed Golden State
4. Artest trade killed the Kings
5. Garnett trade killed the Wolves
6. Well the Sonics have been horrible and Durant is still raw

I think there is just so many equally matched teams in the west and so far they have been playing themselves. Its still fairly early in the season, things will pan out.

Trades has alot to do with it the past couple years. That and there are a few teams out East that are young but have improved alot lately (Atlanta, Philly, etc)

Yeah, and they face more teams who are capable of winning an NBA game in the East. I mean, those 6 bottom western teams cannot win games against better teams, unless something drastic happens. However Indiana, the second-worst team in the East record-wise, beat the 2 number 1 seeds of the NBA.
The Top 9 of the West shits on the Top 9 of the East, though.
Boston and Cleveland are both more solid defensively than any team in the West.

Lakers are still the shit though, and suns could do some serious damage in a playoff matchup. And you can never count out the spurs they always come back from the dead.
