And, you know, I guess it rebounded a little bit.

You know, I thought we won against the Spurs and a large part of it was because we got lucky that they just went ice cold from three after being really hot.

After being insanely hot for the first half, they finished below 30% from three.

And, you know, that's a bit of luck coming our way as well.

That's part of why we got to come back in that game.

But to talk about the home away record, with those things, right, it's really hard to notice.

Unless it's effort related, and I don't think that's that big of a difference.

It's really hard to pinpoint where and why it's different.

And so when those things, I just go by what the stats say.

And the stats say that we're a lot better at home than we are on the road.

And so what you've got to do is you've got to take what the stats give you and go with that.

If we have that much better of a record at home, then there has to be that sample size is big enough when we talk about against any team.

For us to have to give credence to it and say, yes, getting the two seats is important because this team seems to play better at home than it does on the road, which is surprising because I guess throughout the rebuild, we've flipped between being better on the road and at home, but it's always been a thing.

where, or for most of the time, it's been the thing that we have just much better on either at home or on the road with the Rockets though the past few years.

So yes, it is very important to get the two seed, but it's still not as important as it is to dot being the four seed or being on the same side of the bracket as the Thunder.

That would be a nice bonus to get.

But, you know, home court advantage at the end of the day is just one game out of seven, right?

That's different.

So it's only going to sway a series so much.

It would be nice.
