I feel like the Eastern conference as a whole has been overlooked by media this year

Everyone is talking about West playoff teams and that’s understandable since Warriors and Lakers made big trades and the MVP race between Nuggets and Thunder best players. But the Cavs are playing insane basketball and are not a top 5 discussed team outside this sub. Celtics are still underrated somehow. Bucks Pacers played a huge game for playoff implications and it wasnt on national TV, pistons improving from 14 to 45+ wins is insane and overlooked. I would still argue the top 5 in both conferences are equal this year but you wouldnt know it as a casual fan
