Eastern Conference composite records: 2006-07: 583-647 2007-08: 582-648 1 game worse this year. Considering how much better Boston and Orlando are, and the fairly safe assumption that 9 teams in the West were better than everyone in the East aside from Boston, Detroit and Orlando, it's not a far cry to say most of the East got worse. The west got better too. But we were talking about how the Easy got better with respect to the Bulls, not the whole NBA.
