Okay I did get confused. I'm a casual fan, so whatever it is its confusing as frick for me because I don't follow the NBA. I don't watch any regular season games, because they are meaningless, that's really my point.

But still I would like 2-2-3 for all NBA playoff series.

Then your record and seeding are very important and you don't have a team like Miami tanking so they can be the two seed.

Why not give the #1 seed a little more credit for having the best record.

They changed that beginning this season. Finals are back to 2-2-1-1-1 again...as they should be.


Depends on if they keep putting 3 or more days between games again. That's excruciating

5 home games out of 7?

I think 4 should suffice

They changed it to 2-3-2 because the home team had more of an advantage.


They changed what?

Only the Finals were in that format and that was because of travel.

you cant give them 5 games out of 7. 4 is enough.

As it is with the 2-2-1-1-1 the higher seed gets games 1,2,5,7 the most important games in a series IMO. That's a pretty good deal.

Tanking to get the 2 seed.... right right.

7 game series.... 4 out of 3 at home is an advantage. Take care of it and you will have home court. 5 out of 7 is a bit ridiculous.

I thought it was because home teams were winning too much, but I looked it up and you are right. It was due to the Celtics Lakers series

I believe the Finals are pretty much set with a Thursday-Sunday-Tuesday setup.

The whole reason for the 2-3-2 taking effect back in the 80s was because it was frequently a cross country trip between LA/Boston/Philly and the media hated it.

Yeah nvm 5 out of 7 is too much.

I was initially thinking when I brought it up that it was still 2-3-2 so I have much less of a problem with it being 2-2-1-1-1.

Road teams already struggle in the playoffs. That would make it even more difficult on them.

How does that seem fair though??

The 2 seed only gets 2 home games in a 7 game series. Thats crap.

Its already set up where the lower seed has to win a game on the road, and the higher seed just needs to win at home. If they win at home, they dont have to win on the road.

Yeah I got all mixed up. I edited my last post to say that 5 out of 7 isn't a good deal.
