Therefore, the phrase 'Go-Go-Dong-Jo' was talked about by NBA fans. When the fifth-ranked team in the East came to the West, data showed that it was eliminated from the playoffs.
For this reason, 30 team leaders, including NBA commissioners, considered reorganizing the current system. However, it was blanked.
With the rise of the Boston Celtics, Miami Heat, and Milwaukee Bucks, this word seemed to be a relic of the old era. Boston has emerged as the strongest team in the league, and Milwaukee with Yanis Antetokounmpo also won the championship.
However, the imbalance is still growing this season.
The strongest teams in the East are competitive enough. The Cleveland Cavaliers are 27-4 with the highest winning percentage in the league. Defending champion Boston is also 23-9. On top of that are the New York Knicks, which have greatly strengthened their power, the Orlando Magic, which are making a splash, and the Atlanta Hawks. The Milwaukee Bucks and Miami Heat also have a .500 winning percentage.
However, compared to the West, problems arise.
No. 1 in the West is Oklahoma City. It is the second team with 26 wins and five losses overall. Memphis Grizzlies, Houston Rockets, Dallas Mavericks, Los Angeles Lakers, and Los Angeles Clippers are also strong. In addition, 10 teams, including the Denver Nuggets, the Minnesota Timberwolves, the Golden State Warriors, and the San Antonio Spurs, maintain a .500 winning rate.
On the other hand, the eighth-ranked Indiana Pacers are 16 wins and 17 losses, falling short of the 50% win rate in the East. Considering the competitiveness of the playoff, or 10th place, which is still the Maginot line of the play-in tournament, the East is still lacking a lot.
ESPN said on the 31st (Korea time) 'The league's conference imbalance could cause friction. A generation has passed, but the balance of league power each season has consistently been dominated by the West's star power and the Debs, often with a full tilt. There are only 10 teams with a 50% win rate in the West and only seven in the East.
