Yes! Thank heavens for the Blazers and the Suns. In a league that is more predictable than a season of the Bachelor, it's good to see some spontaneity. The Blazers are by far the league's biggest surprise, meanwhile my Suns are just a little bit less of a surprise, but a surprise nonetheless. The pitiful thing about the Suns being a "surprise" is that they're not even that great. They just don't majorly suck like most of the experts picked (myself included). They're winning most of their games off of speed alone, which is great to watch. When they came to LA they basically ran the Lakers out of the arena, which isn't saying a whole lot, but it's still impressive.
The Blazers meanwhile are no longer the FailBlazers. And Damien Lillard is the nastiest dude in the league right now. The reason I bring up both the Blazers and the Suns in conjunction with the East is because if either of these teams were in the East they would be killing! The Blazers would be at the top with the Heat and the Pacers, and the Suns would be a 4th seed*.
Which brings me to my next point, the East is fucking pathetic.
I don't have the standings in front of me but off the top of my head I believe both the Nets and the Knicks are some where near the bottom of the East. In fact I don't think they're in the playoffs. If they are, they're 8 or 9 seeds. How sad are the Bucks? Worst team in the league, god damnit. The 76ers have completely taken a shit like I knew they would. Chicago is out for the season. Are the Wizards still a team? They should really be contracted, or combined with the bobcats. That would be interesting. Two worst teams in each conference get combined to make one mediocre team.
West: Jazzy Kings
East: BobWizards.
