I don’t have much of an opinion on if they’re better or worse than the bottom of the west. A lot of that comment was because I think Dallas and phoenix are flawed teams regardless of conference. But miami and especially Philly at their best, which they haven’t been, are definitely as good as the best of the east.

I'm quite convinced any of the top 7 West teams could beat any East team in a series but the Celtics this year. We'll see about Philly, but Milwaukee has been a mess all season long and aren't likely to suddenly rectify that in the playoffs.
