Those standings are only looking at interconference games. There's a reason Games Played is 30 there (as you say each team plays the other conference 30 times.)

I mean, you can still try to debate the point but I feel like the argument you'd want here is saying that the top East teams don't have to expend as much energy playing in conference so it's easier for them to go hard when they play the West.
