Only 3 times in NBA history has the team hosting games 3-5 won all 3. 04 pistons, 06 cheat, 12, cheat It's hard to beat a good team 3 straight times even if their at home all 3 of those games.
Yeah but the heat ain't never lost a home game when they had the middle 3.

I wonder what happens if Yao doesn't get injured :sas2:

Still went 7 games with the Rockets :sas1:
no tmac, no yao.. still went 7 cuz AARON BROOKS was getting in theri ASS :pachaha:

as for the thread topic, i remember people speculating that the nba changed the first round from best of 5 to best of 7 to benefit the lakers so they wouldnt get eliminated by the rockets(?) that year (early 00s)

heat in 6

In 1984, the Celtics and Lakers did battle in that year's NBA Finals. The Celtics were 62-20 during the regular season while the Lakers were 54-28. The NBA welcomed a new commissioner in David Stern, replacing Larry O'Brien on April 1, 1984. The Finals that season was also the last time the Finals used the 2-2-1-1-1 format before going to the 2-3-2 format in 1985.


In 2014, the Spurs and Heat will do battle in this year's NBA Finals. The Spurs were 62-20 during the regular season and the Heat were 54-28. The NBA welcomed a new commissioner in Adam Silver on February 1, replacing David Stern. This Finals will be, for the first time since 1984, using the 2-2-1-1-1 format.

Actually, if you're going by that historic trend, the 62 team (Spurs) will win as the Celtics (62 wins) did 30 years ago with homecourt in the 2-2-1-1-1 format. :wow:

Dualities :wow:

Does LeBron have a threepeat shoe coming out though? :wow:
The Celtics did win, i just looked that shyt up. :lupe:

We about to change history. :wow:




I dont know, but he probably does. Guess we got to wait to find out tho. :lupe:
