Why can't teams win on the road in the playoffs this year...This is beyond ridiculous...I understand it is hard to win on the road...

The thing I don't understand is why the teams look like total opposites...Why can't guys make shots on the road...Why do teams turn the ball over more on the road...

I understand that the crowd can bother a team, and I understand the whole, you are in your own arena, own bed, etc....

But basketball is basketball, no matter where it is played...whether you are on the playground, in your arena, overseas, on a boat, at home, whatever...The ball is the same, the rim is still 10 foot, the 3 point line is the same, free throw line the same...

Now playing ball quite a bit I understand some rims are more forgiving than others...

What I don't understand is why a team can play better defense at home than on the road...It is the playoffs you should be able to find your own motivation and not need a crowd behind you...

Are the refs that much of a difference...I do see quite a few homer calls at times...But this beat a team by 20 at home lose by 20 on the road is crazy...

Any explanations...Are all these teams that mentally soft...What is the deal???
