Sources: Competition Committee votes unanimously to return NBA Finals to 2-2-1-1-1 format. Owners' approval to come.
Spurs probably feeling sick right now.

Spurs have no one to blame but themselves

While I think it is the right decision, a team does not deserve to be champions if the scheduling of the games is what "cost" them the series.

Bump for those who didn't see.

It's been 2-3-2 for a long time, so the media only has to travel twice during the series, but it's the 21st century. It's not that hard.

what i want to know, is why do they all of a sudden have to change it? what happened that made this an issue?

It's the best format. Game 5 should always go to the team with HC advantage to start.

Thank God
2-3-2 was AWFUL

Not really. They already showed in Game 1 that they could go to Miami and win.
If they win a Game 5 in Miami, I'd say they probably win the NBA Finals in Game 6.
All hypothetical of course.

2-2-1-1-1 is far better.

Ray Allen saved his arse as he choked in the final minute of game 6
Much respect to LeBron but he almost blew that series

Yep, and that format change was all about 1980's Celtics-Lakers travel. Yet they kept it for almost three decades.
