I'm attempting to make my data match the home/away/neutral records listed in the Sporting News NBA Guides. Neutral game records were kept from the 1948-49 season through the 1973-74 season. Now correct: 1950-51, 1951-52, 1958-59 through 1962-63, 1965-66 through 1966-67, 1968-69 through 1973-74 Incorrect: 1948-49, 1949-50, 1952-53 through 1957-58, 1963-64, 1964-65, 1967-68 Discrepancies listed below: 1948-49 ------- Chi Stags 16-8 17-14 5-0 SpNews: 16-8 18-14 4-0 One Chi Stags neutral win should be a road win New York 18-12 13-16 1-0 SpNews: 18-11 12-17 2-0 One New York home loss should be a road loss (18-11, 13-17, 1-0) One New York road win should be a neutral win (18-11, 12-17, 2-0) Providence 7-22 5-24 0-2 SpNews: 7-23 5-23 0-2 One Providence road loss should be a home loss Perhaps this should be a home game for Providence: 724 1949 1/4/1949 C R ChS vs Pro ChS 115 Pro 104 R x Boston MA 1949-50 ------- Anderson 22-9 12-18 3-0 SpNews: 23-9 11-18 3-0 One Anderson road win should be a home win Den Nuggets 9-16 1-25 1-10 SpNews: 9-15 1-26 1-10 One Den Nuggets home loss should be a road loss Ind Olympians 24-7 12-16 3-2 SpNews: 23-5 13-18 3-2 Three Ind Olympians home games should be road games, and they were 1-2 in these Tri-Cities 20-13 6-20 3-2 SpNews: 22-13 4-20 3-2 Two Tri-Cities road wins should be home wins Waterloo 16-15 2-22 1-6 SpNews: 17-15 1-22 1-6 One Waterloo road win should be a home win 1952-53 ------- Mil Hawks 14-8 3-24 10-12 SpNews: 14-8 4-24 9-12 One Mil Hawks neutral win should be a road win (but checked at PhW) Phi Warriors 4-12 1-28 7-17 SpNews: 4-13 1-28 7-16 One Phi Warriors neutral loss should be a home loss (but checked vs MlH) But the following games all appear to be at neutral sites: 11/28/1952 C R MlH vs PhW MlH 78 PhW 77 2 x Chicago IL 2/23/1953 C R MlH vs PhW MlH 78 PhW 64 R x Cincinnati OH 3/10/1953 C R MlH vs PhW MlH 77 PhW 76 R x Louisville KY 1953-54 ------- Boston 15-6 11-19 16-5 SpNews: 16-6 11-19 15-5 One Boston neutral win should be a home win Mil Hawks 11-14 5-17 5-20 SpNews: 10-14 6-17 5-20 One Mil Hawks home win should be a road win Syracuse 26-6 11-18 5-6 SpNews: 27-5 10-19 5-6 One Syracuse road win should be a home win One Syracuse road loss should be a home loss Bal Bullets 12-19 0-20 4-17 SpNews: 12-20 0-20 4-16 One Bal Bullets neutral loss should be a home loss 1954-55 ------- Ft Wayne 21-6 9-14 13-9 SpNews: 20-6 9-14 14-9 One Ft Wayne home win should be a neutral win New York 17-9 8-17 13-8 SpNews: 17-8 8-19 13-7 One New York home loss should be a road loss One New York neutral loss should be a road loss Phi Warriors 14-6 6-19 13-14 SpNews: 16-5 4-19 13-15 One Phi Warriors home loss should be a neutral loss (14-5, 6-19, 13-15) Two Phi Warriors road wins should be home wins (16-5, 4-19, 13-15) Syracuse 25-7 10-17 8-5 SpNews: 25-7 10-16 8-6 One Syracuse road loss should be a neutral loss 1955-56 ------- Minneapolis 14-12 6-21 13-6 SpNews: 13-12 6-21 14-6 One Minneapolis home win should be a neutral win New York 13-15 16-13 6-9 SpNews: 14-14 15-14 6-9 One New York home loss should be a road loss (13-14, 16-14, 6-9) One New York road win should be a home win (14-14, 15-14, 6-9) Rochester 15-14 6-21 10-6 SpNews: 15-14 7-21 9-6 One Rochester neutral win should be a road win St Louis 15-11 12-17 6-11 SpNews: 16-10 10-17 7-12 One St Louis home loss should be a neutral loss (15-10, 12-17, 6-12) One St Louis road win should be a neutral win (15-10, 11-17, 7-12) One St Louis road win should be a home win (16-10, 10-17, 7-12) 1956-57 ------- Boston 24-4 13-19 7-5 SpNews: Boston 27-4 12-19 5-5 Need three more home wins, one fewer road win, two fewer neutral wins Ft Wayne 23-5 5-24 6-9 SpNews: Ft Wayne 23-8 7-24 4-6 Need three more home losses, two more road losses, five fewer neutral games (2-3 in them) Minneapolis 17-9 6-24 11-5 SpNews: Minneapolis 18-13 9-22 7-3 Need four more home games (1-4 in them), three more road wins, two fewer road losses, blah blah New York 20-11 9-19 7-6 SpNews: New York 19-12 11-21 6-4 Phi Warriors 21-5 6-28 10-2 SpNews: Phi Warriors 26-5 5-26 6-4 Rochester 21-11 7-18 3-12 SpNews: Rochester 19-12 9-22 3-7 St Louis 17-10 10-21 7-7 SpNews: St Louis 18-13 11-20 5-5 Syracuse 26-10 9-16 3-8 SpNews: Syracuse 22-9 12-19 4-6 1957-58 ------- Minneapolis 13-17 4-23 2-13 SpNews: 13-17 4-22 2-14 One Minneapolis road loss should be a neutral loss New York 16-12 11-19 8-6 SpNews: 16-13 11-19 8-5 One New York neutral loss should be a home loss Phi Warriors 17-11 11-20 9-4 SpNews: 16-12 12-19 9-4 One Phi Warriors home win should be a road win (16-11, 12-20, 9-4) One Phi Warriors road loss should be a home loss (16-12, 12-19, 9-4) Other teams have GOT to be involved -
