re: How many West teams could win the East next year?

I think several, but looking at scores from last year and trying to project that into the following year is not wise. Never has been never will, and so many examples from every two years exist, that this concept is laughable.

I agree. So, why do so many think the East will be down again? Why do so many think several West teams could win the east? I mean...since we can't use last year as an benchmark.
