2025 NBA Finals: OKC Thunder vs Indiana Pacers

[Wamu]

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?

How high are you right now? Put the pipe down!

You really going outta your way to make things up. Very strange.

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!

Just shaving it off is the best option, or keeping it super short with clippers if you don’t like shaving…

I wanna see him wear a toupee. That would be funny.

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.

I said why I believe it.

I think that team is unlikely to win 3 home games in a row. Very hard to do that in a close series.

Ducky posted the numbers and while way too small a sample to draw any conclusions, the team with HCA won 75% when it was 2-3-2 and 71% when it is 2-2-1-1-1

Either way, I do not believe 2-3-2 is a disadvantage for the team with HCA.

Never said anything close to that.

But good try.

I’m looking at it very simply, after 5 games the team with home court has only played 2 at home. That is a huge disadvantage and I just don’t think that should happen.

so you keep saying, but the 2-3-2 home team has won slightly more than the current model home team.

Like I said, looking at it very simply

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

Maybe when LeBron retires

I guess, but what's more simple than what actually happened?

 

[thunderc]

I guess, but what's more simple than what actually happened?

The way it is now at no point does the team with home court have to play more on the road than at home. That makes sense.

Hey thunderc, get off a tlances nutsac and get some air for god sake

Yeah, so you keep saying......and, yet, teams have won slightly more often with home court in 2-3-2 than current format.

Guessing you just didn't know that and learned it recently when it was shown here? It's OK to say maybe you were wrong?

 

[Wamu]

Same.

Gonna have to watch a Bronx Tale tonight now.

I’m not talking about which way teams have or haven’t been able to overcome either system, I’m talking fundamental fairness, which you should have figured out by now.

but if the alleged "fundamentel fairness" was so unfair you'd think there would be an advantage.....yet any advantage there is goes the other way.

But I guess current rules will close the gap after OKC wins Sunday.

if I'm reading right they disagree in this discussion.
