New template

Recently, all basketball leagues and tournaments have switched to the Sports table module having a uniform look in all of basketball, save for American leagues such as the NBA. Now, NBA standings are quite different from the others, but the conference standings are simplified, at least on Wikipedia. Here's how it'll look for the 2017-18 NBA Eastern conference:

Pos	Team	W	L	PCT	GB	Qualification
1	z – Toronto Raptors	59	23	.720	—	2018 NBA Playoffs
2	x – Boston Celtics	55	27	.671	4
3	x – Philadelphia 76ers	52	30	.634	7
4	y – Cleveland Cavaliers	50	32	.610	9
5	x – Indiana Pacers	48	34	.585	11
6	y – Miami Heat	44	38	.537	15
7	x – Milwaukee Bucks	44	38	.537	15
8	x – Washington Wizards	43	39	.524	16
9	Detroit Pistons	39	43	.476	20
10	Charlotte Hornets	36	46	.439	23
11	New York Knicks	29	53	.354	30
12	Brooklyn Nets	28	54	.341	31
13	Chicago Bulls	27	55	.329	32
14	Orlando Magic	25	57	.305	34
15	Atlanta Hawks	24	58	.293	35

International preseason games

Why do games in Canada, and specifically Raptors games in Canada, count as "international" to be listed in this section with games in China? --2600:1700:FDF1:1FC0:4CA5:B9C:D70B:BBA6 (talk) 19:12, 14 April 2019 (UTC)

Standings

Unless I missed it, there are no footnotes in the standings explaining why the Clippers finished ahead of the Spurs and so forth. In my opinion, this is an important enough point to merit inclusion in the presentation, and not leave it to the reader to hunt around in the individual team pages to see who has won the head-to-head series. I don't mind reading contrary opinions as long as it is not "we've always done it this way" ))). I will not make any arbitrary changes. Hope to hear your opinions.MicroManagingAH (talk) 21:08, 1 June 2019 (UTC)
