In the NBA, "home court advantage" is a huge part of the league. Some teams will preform very well at home and then mysteriously play horribly on the road. Take the Orlando Magic for instance their home record is 20-14 while their road record is 11-23. It's as if two different teams are playing. Another would be the Toronto Raptors 23-10 at home and 13-21 on the road. Miami Heat 23-11 at home and 13-19 on the road.

Assuming that the basketball courts are exactly the same in every arena, what causes this drop-off? If you say the fans then think again. 82games.com has done research and has found that the away team has an equal field goal percentage and free-throw percentage to the home team.

Is it a part of the NBA's business to allow home teams to have some sort of..advantage over the away team? And are the referees in charge of giving the home team that advantage?

Iam tired of the Old 2 league system. I think they should set up 2 Conferences(Western & Eastern),Eliminated the DH,and set the divisions up geographically. Example; Western conf, Pacific divsion.;
LA Dodgers
LA Angels
SF Giants
Seattle
San Diego
Arizona,and
Oakland....and change the playoff format. Seed 1 vs 4 ,2 vs 3 in each conf. best of 7 in each series, and eliminate the Wildcard..what do U think?

Both young players have mature heads on very young shoulders!
let us hope that the WRU and the Ospreys take a leaf out of Sir Alex's book and take good care of these two outstanding players!

I am a pretty good 800 runner, around 2:30, but every so often, my arms cramp up, and I fall back to like 2:50. Any good stretch that can prevent that?

to assist MLS in marketing of the game?

I realize that it isn't going to be instantaneous, and that any respect can't be bought - it must be earned. But I for one hope that soccer becomes as popular here as our gridiron football. But more importantly, I hope that the quality of play gains respect by improving itself through the development of American players and working agreements similar to the one with Chivas.

Let's forget our national pride and look at this as fans of a great game. It would be great to have a premier league that operates just as the established leagues do. I long for that day.

Your thoughts and opinions please.
