Its beyond a small sample size at this point and the numbers are inarguable and truly astounding as to how horrible the Eastern conference is.
The 4 teams are a combined 4-13 (West is 16-7) with a collective PF/PA at an alarming -133 (West is +133). Toronto is 1-4 and tied for 1st place!! Its a joke.
Yet...at least 2 of those teams will make the post season while its entiely possible that 2 teams in the west with better records wont make it at all.
Its really a predicament that shouldnt be occurring...this is a 9 team friggin league, there simply is no need for 2 divisions IMO.

Things should start to appear more balanced by the end of the season as the intra-division games are stacked towards the end (for better playoff races) and somebody has to win those games! That and the West will start beating each other. The inter-division records are going to be ridiculous though - sort of like the NHL at the start of last season when only Edmonton had a losing record against the East.
