Home Court Superadvantage?? What the hell is going on?

I was looking at the NBA Standings for god knows whatever reason and I came across a statistic that makes NO SENSE whatsoever.

Check this out.......

Toronto Raptors 15-5 @home
3-19 on road

Boston Celtics 13-6 @ home
5-16 on road

Cleveland Cavs 14-3 @ home
10-12 on road

Orlando Magic 14-5 @home
8-12 on road


There are more examples but I think you get the point. How can so many teams be so good at home and so flipping bad on the road?

There are a few things that may come into play here......

1. The NBA referee association gives the home team the breaks ALL THE TIME.

2. The road teams party way to hard when on the road and therefore cant put up a good performance.

3. Two many long trips away from their home routine??

I honestly have no idea how so many teams can be Soooooooooo bad on the road.

Any ideas??
