Northwest:
Utah 21-13
Denver 17-14
Blazers 17-14

Pacific:
Phoenix 16-15
Lakers 20-8
Golden State 18-13

Southwest:
New Orleans 26-12
San Antonio 20-13
Dallas 24-8
Houston 19-13


With that Stat, Seems Dallas the stronger team (why they are 12-11 vs East???) and New Orleans and Lakers are fantastic.
A surprise is Phoenix, they are 22-2 vs East, but only 16-15 vs West.
Pretty good Utah, SA and Houston.

New Orleans and Utah have played the most games against the west so far.

The Lakers have had a pretty big break not playing so much against the west. This is a pretty good measure of how difficult upcoming schedules are for these teams.
