Battier shoots slightly better away, and Haslem and Joel didn't really have too much differing, but 2 of our main guys off the bench decline precipitously when we're on the road, it's a small sample size so I hope it evens out. It feels worse than the stats show, whenever we seem to need to hit a few 3 point shots on the road to open up the paint, we can never really do it.
Role players traditionally don't travel well. Hopefully they can get hot in the playoffs. PEACE.
That's why i hate when some heat fans say they dont want HCA in the Finals...that's just silly. The fact that we won without it doesn't mean it doesn't help. Guys like Rio, Battier, Miller, even Allen are much more likely go to off at a home game then on a road game...the more home games - the better. it's big enough of a factor to determine the Finals results.
