Chapter 261 Who Cares About Tayshaun Prince

This year, the Eastern Conference has four teams with over 50 wins each: the Pacers with 60-22, the Detroit Pistons with 54-28, the Bucks with 53-29, and the Miami Heat with 50-32.

Since 1998, this is the first time the Eastern Conference has seen such a "grand occasion".

Of course, it still can't compare with the Western Conference.

Apart from having the Suns with the league's best 62 wins, and the Spurs with the second-best 60 wins, including two regular-season victories against the Pacers, they also have another four teams with over 50 wins. Moreover, the Denver Nuggets ranking seventh in the West have 49 wins, and the Memphis Grizzlies at eighth have 45 wins; if these two teams were placed in the Eastern Conference, they could rank fifth and sixth respectively.

Although the gap between the top teams in the East and West may not be so wide, the quality of the second and even third-tier teams is entirely different.
