Teams like Boston and Detroit, good though they might be, have (IMHO) artificially inflated win/loss records because they play in the East.
  Pistons are 16-7 against the west.  |

Pistons are 16-7 against the west. IIRC, 16-8 .. although 6-4 against the west's top 6 with 2 to play. |

Pistons are 16-7 against the west. .756 against East, .666 against West. if you take the pist-ons and the spurs and you swap their conference affiliations, then extrapolate total season W/L records based on aggregate OOC performance (ignoring factors like intraseason head to head against teams from those divisions etc because it takes wayyyy toooo much time for me to look up, granted, it should be done) projections: spurs 62/20 .758 pist-ons 57/25 .699 not even f'n close. |

Extend the season to 87 games. Each team plays all the other teams 3 times. Then take the top 16 teams for a playoff.
Spacey beat me to it!!!
team 16b* "waaah, but we played boston twice in boston and they only played them once in boston" (* denotes same overall W-L record and playoff assignment based on tiebreaking criteria) so what! Shaq FT% sucks both at home and on the road. they're pros, home court advantage shouldn't matter to these guys. |

We're going to see what the East's best are made of in the coming weeks:
3/14 Utah
3/17 @SA
3/18 @Houston
3/20 @Dallas
3/22 @NO
3/26 Phoenix
3/28 NO
If they can get through the TX-LA stretch with 2 wins out of 4, I'll be impressed.
Of course, the remaining schedule after that is a complete joke with at least one game against each of the bottomfeeders in the East (Miami, Chicago, Indiana, Charlotte, Milwaukee x 2, Atlanta, and NY). Washington and NJ are the only two playoff teams they'll be playing after the brutal stretch against the WC.
