2025 NBA Finals: OKC Thunder vs Indiana Pacers

[DJ Fieri]

I actually think 2-3-2 is a greater advantage for the team with home court.

Really hard to win 3 in a row when teams are evenly matched.

I agree, it needs to go back to 2-3-2.

 

[tlance]

I agree, it needs to go back to 2-3-2.

I actually don’t think that.

Don’t think home court should be a greater advantage in the Finals.

Especially since teams play imbalanced schedules.

 

[tlance]

But, they do need to stop scheduling 2 off days every time teams switch cities

 

[shopson67]

But the team without home court should never be in a situation where they have more games at home in a series. 2-3-2 sucks.

The only real purpose of 2-3-2 would be to limit travel time, but the NBA is extending time between games anyway.

agree....even when they stay in same city was almost always 2 off days between games.

 

[thunderc]

I agree, it needs to go back to 2-3-2.

No it doesn’t, nothing fair about it to me.

 

[thunderc]

agree....even when they stay in same city was almost always 2 off days between games.

Yeah the schedule they are using now has nothing to do with travel days it doesn’t seem

 

[The Q]

But, they do need to stop scheduling 2 off days every time teams switch cities

I agree

We need 2 off days between every game

 

[shopson67]

Yeah the schedule they are using now has nothing to do with travel days it doesn’t seem

If they're going to play every 3rd day, might as well make it 1-1-1-1-1-1-1

 

[dtgold88]

Yeah the schedule they are using now has nothing to do with travel days it doesn’t seem

nope...guessing it's what network wants.

 

[thunderc]

nope...guessing it's what network wants.

No doubt

 

[The Q]

If they're going to play every 3rd day, might as well make it 1-1-1-1-1-1-1

Your terms are acceptable

More off days means less injuries too

 

[Shanemansj13]

I actually don’t think that.

Don’t think home court should be a greater advantage in the Finals.

Especially since teams play imbalanced schedules.

The layout is fine, it's just so many days in between it drags out

 

[Shanemansj13]

If they're going to play every 3rd day, might as well make it 1-1-1-1-1-1-1

Hell yeah. Make it a 3 1/2 week event if it goes 7.

 

[ducky]

The layout is fine, it's just so many days in between it drags out

Yeah this series has felt ridiculously long.

But I did go back and the time off between games is consistent with what it was in past years.

I think it hurts viewership to drag on like this. I'm a fan and I have missed the beginning of some games because by the 3rd day it isnt in the forefront of my mind any longer.

Yeah it is consistent. It has been like this since I can remember but yeah I agree, I think it definitely hurts viewership. I haven't watched a full game yet...honestly, I usually forget or just get busy but every 3rd day is ridiculous. When they travel, I get it.

I disagree it increases home court advantage. I don’t see how that can be said when after 5 games the team that earned home court would have played more road games than home games.

 

[Wamu]

One of my favorite movies.

 

[Wamu]

Most of players on Indy's & OKC's rosters were still in H.S. in 2016.

Lebron & Steph both looked so young back then too.

One thing's for sure. That picture is proof LeBron lost his battle with his hairline years ago. He really needs a wig or just shave what's remaining off. Even Tom Thibodeau's like- damn LeBron!

 

[Pastafazul]

Should not even have the Finals, cause the best team should not have to play in it cause they already proved they were the best team durin reg season , right Tlance?
