I was a fan of this guy, but these recent stories about his off-the-court shit is really making me root against him.
He is hanging around the wrong crowd and creating a world he doesnt actually know.

The Brandon Clarke injury kinda ends any hopes of a title run, unfortunately
I've mostly counted them out since discovering their piss poor road record.

Not many teams have a good road record this season

The two teams I'd rate as favorites, Milwaukee and Boston, do.

Really it's the West that doesn't know how to win on the road, minus the Kings, who aren't going to win the championship.


I think the worst road championship teams were 21-20 on the road.

Get ready, it wouldn’t shock me if the suns or warriors won it all and they have losing road records this season

Actually yes, with the Suns I think that's right. I was just strictly looking at road W-L records.

The Suns, assuming KD stays healthy, would be a "healthy" favorite as well. Would be an exception to historical norms though, but that also happens in the NBA. Acquiring KD in the middle of the season also isn't a normal thing.

The Warriors though are just too piss poor on the road for me to believe in them this year. They are currently 7-23 on the road.. That's a recipe for disaster in the playoffs, despite what they have done in the past. Now would I be surprised if they managed to do it again? No, not really. But it would be way out of norms there.

Guess we'll see how the Warriors finish out the year though, 11 of their last 18 are on the road. 8 of their next 10 are on the road.

The disparity between Warriors home and away records this year is quite the Jekyll and Hyde comparison. Steph could make some magic happen but odds are quite stacked against them as it is

Suns with KD are looking crazy good, Booker in his proper place as #2 option has been pretty unstoppable

And the Warriors lost tonight another road game to the Lakers.

Book definitely in his place as a 2nd option. CP3 can just totally lay back now as well.

Heard that Ja may get a 50+ game suspension, if they find that he had a gun on the team plane. That's effectively end Memphis' season this year, and could make a big impact next season in terms of seeding.

Their season already ended when Clarke went down for the year.

But, I’m hoping this is a wake up call to Ja and he starts to act a lil better. He’s at a fork in the road type of path right now, I hope he chooses wisely

Dillon Brooks got a good lil laugh in on Draymond at the end of the game last night

“Whoop that trick!”
