Blazers 17th best in NBA at home, 8th best on road

Amazing success on the road, perplexing troubles at the RG...

As of last night (prior to the T-Wolves game), of teams with .500 records or better the Blazers owned the 12th best record in the NBA, the 8th best road record, but the 17th best home record.  Why is this year at the RG different than last, when we were virtually unbeatable?  (did the 1st playoff home game last season, when Houston beat us so badly, set the RG tone for this year?)
