DETROIT — The power has seemingly shifted to the Eastern Conference after decades of supremacy on the other side, but the looks of it aren’t as expected.
The defending NBA champions aren’t even at the .500 mark, the Brooklyn Nets have dealt with the biggest — or second biggest — drama in the league and the Philadelphia 76ers take turns flip-flopping with Brooklyn for said title.
Miami, Chicago and Washington are leading the conference, and even though the season is barely 10 games young, each can be a party crasher in its own way.
