all three teams that were up 2-0 will win their respective series.

Pacers, Spurs and Pistons <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

At least one is in deep trouble (Spurs) - What a heartbreaking loss that had to be for their fans.

Shrink, I just don't understand you on this one.

I personally hate it when the announcers talk about how the 2-3-2 vs. 2-2-1-1-1 format favors one team or another.

IMO, it is nonsense. The MLines are the same based on the home team. The order really matter very little, if at all.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

Fezzik,

If you were the Coach of the Lower Seeded Team playing in a Best of Seven Series, you are telling me that it doesn't matter to you having to play 3 consecutive games at Home in a 2-3-2 format, given the choice of playing in a 2-2-1-1-1?

I have seen handicappers and the media talking about how teams down 0-2 in an NBA playoff Series virtually never come back to WIN the SERIES...

What they almost always fail to mention is that the best of seven format used to be 2-3-2, and not 2-2-1-1-1...

Therefore, if a Team got up 2-0 and went on the Road, it was very hard for the team down two games to WIN 3 straight at Home.

With the NEW format, the lower seeded team now has a much higher chance of coming back from a 2-0 deficit...

If someone can provide stats from the two different formats, I'd love to see them...

All other opinions are welcome, too...

Does anyone besides me believe we will see at least one team that was down 0-2 come back to win it this round?

Thanks in advance,

Not that I will bet on all of them, but...

I think 3 dogs are possible, adding the Kings to your list Fishhead...


I love it when I am right...

It happens so seldom, lol...
