Indy+Toronto is 33-27 vs the West this season.
Portland+Utah is 33-27 vs the East this season.
I wasn't arguing that, I was pointing out why people would say that.
Also, just because those 2 stats are true (I'm assuming they are because why would you lie) doesn't change anything I said. Portland and Utah play Houston San Antonio and Golden State more than Indiana and Toronto did. If you cancel Golden State out with Cleveland for sake of argument, that means there are 2 really good teams that Utah and Portland are playing more often, therefore decreasing their overall records.
That is the argument people who buy West>East would argue, and nothing you said really refutes that

When those 2 teams from the West can't put up a better record against the EAST than the 2 East teams put up against the WEST, you or anyone who tries is going to have a hard time using that as the excuse.
If the true reason their record wasn't better was from being smacked around by the top of the West, then they'd more than make up that difference when they play the East...but they're not.
Again, there's nothing to suggest each set of 2 teams aren't basically on the same level. Wanna use SRS? Utah is 5th, Toronto 6th. Portland 16th, Indy 18th. Virtually every metric has each round's opponent virtually even.
