The shitty east got worst with Chicago's coach getting canned. The east is a cake walk for any half decent team so the Cavs can make the finals 4 years in a row, but that's where it ends for them each time when they meet the West Champs
Assuming Irving is ok and Love doesn't bolt, they should be the top team in the East for at least a couple more years unless LeBron really drops off fast or New Orleans manages to pair another major talent with Anthony Davis (he's a beast, future MVP no doubt).
Can you please just admit that Lebron did what he often does, play great and then disappear at crunch time. He is the anti-Michael Jordan.
He (LeBron) is weird in that he seems to step up in terms of having a good overall game in big games, like I bet if you ran the numbers his stats in Game 1's, elimination games, etc. are relatively good compared to his averages, but then he'll do something in those games like go for the whole OT period without scoring until the defense gifts him a bunny when the game's over.
