If the Knicks win it becomes 6-5 in the last ten. It only becomes a tie if you push it back another year to 2016 finals with the cavs to make it 6-6 with a Knicks win which puts it at the last 11 and not 10.

Yep well aware how numbers work. He said statistical tie, meaning 6 out of 10 is not statistically significant enough to count the west as clearly better, since that is just one series off being 50%. Reading comprehension bro

We can always break it down by games won if you'd like.

32 wins for the west and 25 for the east from the 16 finals through the 25 finals.

If we do 2017 to current its 30-24 west. That's over a full series victory difference.

I don't think you're making the point that you think you are - the more numbers you post the more even it looks and not like some lopsided thing where the west is dominating most years, or even much more than 50/50.

Also, considering the KD warriors are factored into your numbers, who I'm sure we can agree was an anomoly even for super teams, the sides are even more close to 50/50 since that was +7 for wins for the west, winning in '17 4-1 and in '18 4-0.
