The Eastern Conference has played 10 more games than the Western Conference and has 6 more total wins. Seems to be a lot of people recently that think the Eastern conference has taken over, this helps add some perspective in just how close the two conferences really are, with nearly identical Win percentages.
Two of the wins against teams over .500 in NYK and WAS.
In the West, GS is at 3-0 and plays tonight and Minnesota have somehow only played 1 on the road and are 1-0.
1-2 against both the Pacers & Magic, plus 0-1 against Toronto.

If you want to win your bet, clearly you gotta go with Chuck's guarantees. Dude's on an insane hot streak right now! At this point, he may not lose for the rest of the Conference Finals.
Behind paywall: NBA predictions: Win-loss records for... every Eastern Conference team
The contenders
-
Brooklyn Nets: 58-24
-
Milwaukee Bucks: 57-25
-
Philadelphia 76ers: 50-32
-
Miami Heat: 49-33
-
Atlanta Hawks: 47-35

The play-in group
-7. New York Knicks: 44-38
T-8. Charlotte Hornets: 40-42
T-8. Chicago Bulls: 40-42
-10. Indiana Pacers: 40-42
The Knicks were the fourth seed last season, and this offseason, they brought in Kemba Walker and Evan Fournier to upgrade their perimeter offense around All-Star forward Julius Randle and burgeoning former top-3 pick RJ Barrett. In our panel predictions, the Knicks' record is closer to that of the fifth-seeded Hawks than that of the eighth-seeded squads, indicating New York profiles more similarly to contenders than the play-in group.
The bottom five
-11. Washington Wizards: 36-46
-12. Toronto Raptors: 35-47
-13. Cleveland Cavaliers: 26-56
-14. Detroit Pistons: 25-57
-15. Orlando Magic: 22-60
This is a little bit different from the usual video post (but I checked with the mods first and they were cool with it). In short, I've compiled every record posted on the Bolingo blog (RIP), cleaned up the metadata, and made a torrent of it all (32 GB, primarily mp3s).
There's a ton of Indian music (Carnatic & Hindustani, ragas, etc) both from "big" names (Bhimsen Joshi, Ustad Amir Khan, M.S. Subbulakshmi) and completely unknown people. There's also a bunch of compilations of other worldly tunes released by UNESCO and Argo, recordings by Deben Bhattacharya and Hugh Tracey, showcasing traditional/folk music from all over Africa, Asia, the Middle East, Oceania, and more.
I thought some of you in this community would enjoy virtually digging through these records. I know it's not the typical pop/psych/jazz/exotica that shows up here but it's definitely vintage and definitely obscure.
You can read plenty more about it here on Anti-Gravity Bunny (full disclosure, that's my site but this is definitely not about self-promotion). Or you can just grab the torrent file here and start downloading. Enjoy!
With the East looking semi decent, will the 8th seed finally have an over .500 record?
2018: Wizards .524
2019: Pistons .500
2020: Magic .453 (Bonus Nets .486)
2021: Wizards .472 (Bonus Celtics .500)
This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 71%. (I'm a bot)
> Hospitals in the southern Dutch province of Limburg warned the government on Tuesday that they can no longer cope with new COVID-19 patients.
> Russia also reported a new record of COVID-19 deaths, despite ending a nine-day non-working period.
> The country's state coronavirus task force reported 1,211 new deaths on Tuesday, the highest daily death toll in the pandemic.
> The daily tallies of new cases and COVID-19 deaths remained high throughout the non-working period.
> Experts have blamed the soaring deaths on the low vaccination rate in Romania where about 40% of the population has been fully vaccinated - far lower than the European Union's average of 75%. Ukraine also hit another record for daily coronavirus deaths amid a spike in infections fueled by public reluctance to get a vaccine.
> The country's Health Ministry reported 833 coronavirus deaths on Tuesday, surpassing the previous high of 793 over the weekend.

Its funny to look at the Eastern conference now since you can see the most unlikely teams on top of the conference, I know that its only the start of the season but I found it interesting too see the teams with the best record in the conference right now is not what I would've expected
Added a poll to see what you guys think we'll end up in the conference at the end of the season

Someone get a fire extinguisher to cool Chuck down! Man's been correct for three games in a row. Seems like the Chuck guarantee curse is over for now?
