So yes, some will say that these are the Boston Celticsteam from the East who are reigning champions but if we take the last 10 champions before that, seven come from the West against only three from the East.
Other figures, based on this start of the season (this is why we are talking to you about this, because it is worrying at the start of the season): there are only four teams in the East with a ratio positive victory (being above the famous 0.500 that all Americans mention). This is almost three times less than in the West where there are 11 franchises with a positive record after more or less 15 matches played, depending on the teams. So in the East we have Miami or Detroit with negative balance sheets and virtually in Play-Off while in the West, Sacramento which has a positive balance sheet, is out of the Play-in !
Last figure (promised), if we compare the duels between the East and West teams since the start of the season, there is no picture either. The Western teams lead 41 victories to 20 against the Eastern teams. A class away.
