Is the NBA’s Eastern Conference finally the tougher conference?

For almost as long as most of us can remember, the NBA’s Western Conference has been the dominant conference of the two, with some seriously awful ball clubs making the playoffs in some of the more pronounced seasons serving as an example of the talent imbalance in the league’s Eastern Conference.

Now, at the start of the 2022-23 NBA season, it is looking like the tables have finally turned in terms of the distribution of star players. Is it finally fair to say that the Boston Celtics’ conference is the better of the league’s two conferences after decades of the opposite being the case?

The hosts of the ESPN “Hoop Collective” podcast put their heads together to try and answer that question on a recent episode.

Take a look at the clip embedded above to hear what they had to say.
