Just read a stat that said every single champion of the last 43 years has had a winning record on the road. It even applies to the 4 teams that didn't follow Phil Jacksons 40 win 20 loss rule.
This year is as follows:
Nuggets - 17-18 on the road
Grizzlies - 14-22
Cavs - 16-20
Suns - 15-20
Mavericks - 14-21
Warriors 7-29
Bucks - 22-13
76ers - 22-12
Celtics - 23-14
Kings - 22-13
Knicks - 22-14
Nets - 20-18
Clippers - 18-18
Only the Kings and Knicks have better road records than home records. I really do think the champion is either the Bucks, 76ers, or Celtics just based on talent.
Yeah it will be Interesting. They are in a bit of a rough patch lately. Jokic is so good, but there are legitimate concerns if they can provide any rim defense.
Also they are counting on Porter jr who has not done it before. At times, he is great. Other he can really struggle.
