Something simple like MOV1= Mov*Q(x, y)
where Q(x, y) denotes the "quality" of the opposition is a better indicator of success than raw MOV. The variables x and y could be, say the (normalized) defensive efficiency and the MOV of the opposition
A team like the Spurs which is 7-12 against top-10 teams and 12-18 against top-16 and has a losing road record despite having the easiest schedule shouldn't be ranked above Mavs just because they blew out some lottery teams.
