Home court advantage in the NBA

55 point swing from game 2 to game 3. Does home court mean that much in the NBA?
Sure,it gives you a little advantage. But these guys are seasoned professionals. They have played 1000's of away games with hostile crowds.

Michael Jordan doesn't think so.

2 role players for the Spurs combined for 51 points.
They could be playing in China, when you're shooting lights out from 3 like that, it's over.

if all of danny greens and neals 3's were 2's, spurs still win by 20

Not speaking of just this series. This seems to happen often throughout the playoffs.

It's the Finals format.
The home team can get screwed if they do not win their 1st 2 games in the 2-3-2 format. I think it should be changed.

The Finals format is fine.
The team with home court advantage is not getting "screwed" if they lose one at home and then lose three on the road. That's just the other team being better.

Homecourt is a big deal in the NBA!

This strikes me as sort of a logic fail.
The home team is "screwed" by virtue of the fact that it gave up one of its first two home games because it cannot be reasonably expected to win 1 out of next 3 games at the other team's arena?

Ever been to an NBA playoff game? It's crazy.
