if bosh wasnt injured, we would have won game 2 vs indiana. still lost game 3, then finish it at 4 - 1.

pacers cant win us at home, and we can split the road games.

2-3-2 works great for the home team. It's a great format because it doesn't penalize a team for being in the tougher conference. If you want to win a championship, you need to be able to win games on the road. We've been able to get a win on the road in all 3 Finals we've been in. Shoulda probably won the one we did lose. I like the 2-3-2 and don't care if we get HCA.

As for Indiana, let's not buy into the hype. We didn't smash them in 5 last year because we were missing Bosh. absolute worst-case scenario for us facing a physical, douchebag defense without our best and only good big. We still took them out. Their offense is still ****, and they still have no goto guy. In the playoffs, rotations tighten, star power comes to the forefront and our defense will be motivated. We are gonna curbstomp those fake toughs. Beliedat! PEACE.

Glad to see you back. Just don't stress it, you're a quality poster

Their go-to guy is Paul George, who is blossoming into a 1st option, and being treated by the refs as such. He also torched us in that game we played I believe, the Pacers are the only possible hiccup in the road. Even they don't stand a chance if LeBron is playing GOD mode and Wade and Bosh continue their efficiency, but they're not an opponent to be underestimated.

Playing Toronto round before Indiana would be handy. Extra time preparing for team led by 2 good wing players with length.

We should tank this game to improve our chances of getting Philly's pick this year /green font

nah screw the pick, I want winning, winning and more winning. It is an addiction.

[twozeroMM]

What record does Philly have to be around for us to get there pick?

[BlackBerry]

Is Bynum returning tonight?

We've done well against Philly recently, even before Bosh and James came to town. Keep it going.

[Tony15]

Sounds like the game may start a little late due to the Flyers game.....

[TripleC]

Is Bynum returning tonight?

Ofcourse he is -_-

I'm kind of confused and I'm hoping you can clear it up. Maybe because I'm thinking that the second sentence is the premise to your conclusion rather than just a separate comment.

Premise: It's a great format because it doesn't penalize a team for being in the tougher conference.

Conclusion: 2-3-2 works great for the home team.

I do agree that it's great a team can play in a tougher conference, have the lower seed than their opponent, and still get 3 games at home before the opponent does. But I don't think it works great for the home team.

IMO, it's a big advantage that the road team can play 3 games at home before the home team can. The home team needs to play a 7 game series in order to reap the benefits.
