No kidding. It's a joke how pathetic the East as a whole is.
From 2010-11 season to now, who realistically had a legit chance to beat LeBron in the East? I suppose the Bulls w/ Rose could have had Rose not gotten hurt in that 2012 first round, but likely not. The Celtics w/ Garnett and Pierce were declining although they gave Miami a good fight in 2012. The Pacers built a team to compete with Miami but couldn't do it, even with home-court advantage in 2014. Atlanta, Toronto, this years Celtics have all been cannon fodder, since LeBron returned to Cleveland.
The East is LeBrons playground. Even when MJ and the Bulls were dominating in the 90's, there were a few close calls (anyone remember the 1998 ECFs?), and the Jazz were very competitive in those two Finals.
The West hasn't been much better but at least this decade it has been somewhat diverse; Lakers, Mavericks, Thunder, Spurs, Warriors.
What bothers me is that once LeBron and the Warriors give up the crown, it seems like the Spurs and the Celtics are next in line, again. I for one would be okay if both of these teams took backseats for awhile. The Spurs don't really interest me, and I think the world can do w/o another Boston team winning. I'd like it if teams like Utah, Milwaukee, Toronto, and Portland could do some damage.
