We've averaged 1.2 points per game against the East so far and 0.7 points per game against the West. If you flip the number of games we've played against the conferences, we'd be sitting at 34.5 points and would still be out of the playoffs unless we took that extra win from Philadelphia and the extra half a point from Carolina, in which case we'd be in a 3-way tie for the last playoff spot.
Over the course of a full season at the 1.2/0.7ppg pace, we'd end up with 82.4 points in the East. I can't think that would be enough to make the playoffs, but who knows how things will play out with these new divisions.
