    The Spurs and the Rockets both have below .500 road records currently. I don't think our road record is what fans should be concerned about. Our record against the western conference is much, much worse compared to most of the other teams fighting for a playoff spot. We are 17 and 16 against the WC. The Hornets are 18 and 16, the Suns are 19 and 13. The others are much better then that.

    I don't think that bodes well for getting the 2nd or 3rd spot in the playoffs.

    I think our road record stacks up well against most other WC playoff contenders. Winning consistently on the road is the hallmark of a strong, veteran squad -- I don't think it's shameful that we aren't there yet.
