Stan Van Gundy says the East is better than the West

Stan Van Gundy’s Pistons are 7-7 this season. They are currently 11th in the Eastern Conference which means they wouldn’t qualify for the playoffs.

If this trend continues, this would be the first time in the last three seasons that an Eastern Conference team missed the playoffs with a .500 record.

The general consensus over the last five years is that the Western Conference is superior to the Eastern Conference. But Van Gundy says he knew better than that, at least, when it came to this season.
