Finals format

Seen the debate in a few threads. Might as well make it official. Which format should be used?

2-2-1-1-1 would reward the team with HCA. Some think its too much of an advantage in this format but I think the 3 straight games at home for the team without HCA is too much.

I like 2-3-2, especially if travel is far enough. 2-2-1-1-1 is too much travel.

That was a good excuse back in the day, but now the travel is way better with teams with their on private jets.

If you're going from Boston to la 5 times in a series it will still wear on both teams. The quality decreases more than the possibility of 3 games of momentum cancels out in my opinion.
