Home 3 Point Shooting

[Handlogten's Heros]

Was bored today and started looking at something... Our team shoots 35% from three at home... we shoot 38% from three on the road. Doesn't seem like much but it is the difference between top 5 and bottom 5.

Ricky - 39% on the road... 29% at home
DM - 36% on the road... 32% at home
Ingles - 48% on the road... 41% at home.

WTF is going on?

Also, our opponents shoot exactly the same against us at home or on the road.

I would think we'd be as good or close to it.

I've wondered this actually.....it actually seems like lately we've played worse overall at home than on the road and I don't really understand it.

Random variation, woohoo!

Yup... This is why I'm not overly concerned about home court IF we make the playoffs. Not entirely the 3 point percentages but the energy and focus this team seems to lack at home.

Random variation, woohoo!

I mean we are almost through a whole season... it is weird to me that it is so different.

I've long felt there could be more pressure being at home and that playing on the road would be more fun in a strange way.

I think it's a personality thing. Rudy seems like the kind of guy who would like shutting up an opposing team's crowd and Donovan seems like the type of guy who would rather play in front of home team fans.
