We can chop this up a million ways though, can't we? They're 11-8 in their last 19 games. Is that not more instructive than including an 8 game winning streak that preceded it? They've also played 15 games at home vs. 12 on the road during those 27 games, and are 13-2 at home and 6-6 on the road, with no wins against any teams on the road with a .500 record. In fact, the Atlanta win the other night was their 2nd road win since December 12th.
That said, two weeks ago, everyone said the Patriots were a great home team and a shitty road team too, and they're going to the Super Bowl. Like I said in the game thread, it was nice to be coming home off of a win on the road and playing at home, as that hadn't happened in quite some time. If they can figure out a way to beat the Warriors this week, and run the table at home, they can turn this little 3 game winning streak into a 7-8 game streak pretty quickly, and if they can get by the Thunder on the road, it could hit double digits. That's where I want to see this team heading at this point in the season. Aside from the Warriors, there really isn't any reason they should lose any of their next 5 games. Hopefully, they're turning the corner.
