got more accomplished. Players from the west really weren't moving East. I agree that last year it wasn't a huge gap and the west wasn't what it used to be... Which doesn't say much for the east, it was mostly just that the west wasn't living up to is own typical standards. But this is a new year and even before any games are played, it doesn't really look like the east made enough moves to be trending toward improving and trending toward them overall as a conference. Players shuffled around some but the conferences doesn't really look better.
