It's a good time to be a basketball fan in an Eastern Conference city.
Sure, the West, thanks to a 9-2 record over the last five days, has regained the edge in games played between the two conferences. But almost every team in the East has been competitive this season. Even the Nets (went down to the wire with both Golden State and Cleveland) and Sixers (have led in the fourth quarter each of their last five games) have been if you want to be generous with your definition of "competitive."
Furthermore, as you get ready for the holidays, there will be a few can't-miss shows touring the East.
