Description
For NBA team standings, it appears that "games_back" represents games back within the conference, not the division. I realize that the conference GB is really all that matters, but sometimes I want to display standings division-style. And in division-style, the games_back should reflect how far a team is behind the division leader. This is how the NBA does it (http://www.nba.com/standings/team_record_comparison/conferenceNew_Std_Div.html). Would it be possible to somehow include both types of games_back in the standings object? Maybe "games_back_conf" and "games_back_div"?

Just wondering if you had given this any consideration.

Yes, would probably implement this by adding a query parameter that allowed for grouping by division, conference, overall, etc. and would calculate games back and rank based on the parameter value.
