Jazz only unbeaten home team in the West

We are awesome at home, but still haven't been tested by a good team. The Lakers were a mess when we played them.
The Nuggets have been meh on the road this year. Not sure it they qualify, but they could still beat us.
 
If the Jazz could only play on the road like they do at home...

I think the nuggets are a good test. If we win, it will be a good win.

So the pertinent numbers from the article are that over the last 30 years, the Jazz have won 75.2% of their home games and 45.0% of their road games.

The article seems to imply that the disparity is abnormal ("Utah Jazz history has been filled with absolutely dominating home teams" and "we're a bad road team historically"), but fails to provide context.

Over the same period, NBA teams on average win 61.7% of their home games, and 38.3% of their road games.

So the average NBA disparity is a factor of 1.61. The Jazz' disparity is 1.67. Or, to normalize the percentages to compare to the NBA average, it's 62.6% and 37.4%. It's an epidemic, to be sure.
