The strength charts below compare the conference teams based only on their records against STRONG teams. How do we define strong? Easy - the teams that are currently in the playoffs. Here are the # of points and # of games played, and average number of points per game for all teams in each Conference when they played any of the top 8 teams. The charts are followed by the combined record against the top 8 in both Conferences. The teams with the lighter background are the top 8 in the Conference currently.

Magic	Magic numbers represent number of points needed to clinch that category. A red * means they've clinched it. Blank means they're out of it.
F:	Futility number. If this team misses winning this number of points, or if the 8th place teams wins this many (or a combination), this team can't make the playoffs.
A RED magic number means they need help in the form of rival losses to be able to make it.
