It's very strange. I am not an NBA fan, but the same thing seems to be true there. The top 8 tams in the West are always way above .500 and the 7 and 8 seeds in the East seem to always be below .500.

In baseball and football it is less so becuase the travel is so different.

In baseball you are there for 2-4 days (or more if there is an off day).

In football, it seems to work opposite as it's the west coast teams travelling east and playing at 1:00PM ET that generally have trouble.
