This is a test run for an article I'm going to start doing next year every 30 days. Let me know if there's any information you'd want added or presented differently. First we'll do each team's record against each division and conference:
Next, each team's margin of victory, strength of schedule (as calculated on basketball reference), and simple rating system (MOV + SOS); alphabetically then by highest to lowest SRS.
And here is each division's record against each other division, followed by each division's record against the rest of the NBA:
