Decreased home court advantage as a result of decreased partying?

Very interesting article. It basically poses that due to dating apps (among other things), NBA players party way less while on road trips. This has lead to much less of a home court advantage than in past decades.

Lame that they're not partying as much.

One of my favorite things to do on a road trip was check out the local night scene

Today's players are soft. Pun intended.

Wilt Chamberlain's record number of ladies will last longer than DiMaggio's hitting streak record.

For almost anyone who would have gone to the clubs on a road trip, I concur. I think it's possible some guys go out to have a good time aside from getting laid, although in this situation is likely few and far between.
