On every level you might measure it, the W is still far above the E.
W/L in all games between conferences
W/L of top 8 only
W/L of top 4 only
Number of teams playing at a 60-win pace
Number of teams playing at a 50-win pace
Yet the East has won 2 of the last 3 titles... 4/1/2 games separate the top 6 teams in the East, 14 games separate the top 6 in the West. The East teams in the 7-10 play-in spots have a higher winning % than the same 7-10 teams in the West. It's called parity which is good for the league. The East has closed the gap and that's a fact, not media-driven.
