I looked for a thread about this, and if there is one, shut this down.

If you sort like espn does (I think it is by total points), we are 6th best in the league on the road and 6th worst in the league at hom.

It's somewhat common over the years for crappy teams to be great at home, but dreadful on the road. I think it's pretty rare to be the reverse. I've seen articles that have related road success to playoff success, so overall this is probably a good thing.

But it makes me wonder what's going on at home. Too much pressure (expectations were mixed this year, so this seems unlikely)? Library atmosphere? Need a new building? Statistic anomaly?
