the East was loaded with tough teams during that time
MJ's Bulls, Bird's Celtics, Zeke's Pistons, Wilkin's Hawks...they all grinding each other for the eastern title...whoever comes out on top definitely became battle weary
whereas Magic's Lakers never really had a tough opponents to face in the West
