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.
