Right.  And generally the 5-8 seeds in the Easter Conference have been shitty for the last 20 years or so, especially compared to the Western Conference. 

 

Some amazing stats this decade: 

2010- All 8 WC playoff teams won at least 50 games

2011: WC 8 seed had 46 wins, EC 5 seed had 44 wins

2012: 8 seed in West had a 46-36 record. 8 seed in East was 37-45

2013 - 5 seed Memphis would have been 2 seed in East

2014 playoffs - 7 teams in the WC with 50+ wins. The 8 seed was Dallas with a 49-33 record, which would have been good enough to be the # 3 seed in the East

2015 playoffs - 7 teams in the WC with 50+ wins. The 6 seed was SA with 55 wins, which would have been the #2 seed in the EC. 

2017 playoffs - the 5 seed Utah Jazz had the same record as Lebron's 2 seed Cavs

The East has sucked for more than two decades.  Simply no depth, it's why folks are pushing for top 16 teams regardless of conference.  If Lebron played in the West, he almost certainly has less Finals appearances and may have less rings.  Not his fault, so I'm not blaming him, it's simply an observation.
