Us Sixers fans said the same exact thing after we defied all laws of physics, and beat the Lakers in a game in the Finals. I bet the Knicks said the same when the Pacers went to the finals instead.

Just because you throw out the same team, as the previous season it doesn't mean you'll just come out. There's a reason the games are played. The East may not be the better of the two conferences, but it's a lot more dangerous because it's more parity stricken, plus you have more teams coming trying to knock their way into the playoffs:

-Hawks
-Wizards
-Bucks (trying to get back)
-Heat (trying to get back)

Eastern conference, is that unpredictable.. and that's why it's fun. We could have four new playoff teams this year. You never know. While out West, the top half of the brackets can be written in at the beginning of the year.
