Risking a jinx, I think a topic to honor the phenomenal road record of the C's is in order.   Given the timing of this topic, they'll likely lose tonight. 

The C's are currently one of only 10 teams in the NBA with a winning record on the road.  At 11-1, they stand as the only team with fewer than 4 road losses -- outside of the LA Lakers who basically do not have to play road games until they have clinched their conference top seed.  BTW, the Lakers have lost more road games than the C's even they've played only 5 -- they stand at 3-2.

The best road winning percentage in NBA history was the 1971-2 Lakers at .816 (31-7).  The 1995-6 Bulls who finished 72-10 were 33-8 on the road (an .800 winning percentage).

The C's current winning percentage on the road is .917.

Your first line really did me in :')

The irony!

No. We will not lose.

I love the road record. It shows so much character and theres nothing better than beating a team in their own arena with their fans booing you the whole time. I hope we don't get to complacent at home though. Once the playoffs start, even if we are still tearing it up on the road, it will be harder because we will be playing against better competition and it seems like playoff road wins are pretty hard to come by no matter what.

Anyway loving the team right now. After the little bump in the road that we had, ever since the Miami road win I have felt like we have just put it together completely. I was hoping that our guys were just trying to figure themselves out and it seems like they have and now we are back in business.
