Obscene road records...

Here's the current standings from Fox Sports.
Note the teams with excellent home records but obscene road records.
The Pistons don't slack off on the road. Aren't you glad the Pistons aren't that flaky?
These teams need to check themselves:
Cavs
Bulls
Wiz
Lakers
Warriors

Currently only the Pistons and Spurs have a better road record than home record. Fortunately both are winning records.
Do you believe Wash came in here and took one from the Pistons? Dang!

I'm happy that the Pistons are winning on the road. I'm not worried about the home losses, those will turn into wins soon.

It's encouraging.

It could be a huge factor in the playoffs IF we start doing the other little things right with more consistency.

I don't think we have lossed more than 12 or 13 home games the last 4 seasons...Looks like we will exceed that this year unless something dramatic happens starting tonight.

That is what concerns me more than anything else. What is more baffling is we are winning on the road, the only team in the EC with a winning road record I believe.
