I'm almost hoping not to have home court as a Rockets fan. We have a horrible playoff record with home court in the first round. We always seem to drop one of the first two. I'd rather play spoiler in those first two games. The Rockets also have about the same record home and away this year.

I heard the NBA is at a record low pace of 53% win percentage at home.

Yeah I read an article about that the other day, but I can't remember the link. Basically, HCA is a thing of the past in pro football/basketball. The better teams just win for the most part.

That's most unusual. Surprised to read that.

There's something to this. When you have HCA, there is immense pressure psychologically to win right off the bat. Dropping one of those home games (especially game 1) can mess with teams and get them to tighten up.
