With no Chandler. Barea, Stevenson to have a great series...

Knowing Miami's luck, Carter would drop 50 a night....

i much rather face the Magic/Pacers/Sixers than the Knicks. with JR Smith and Lin i think NY has much more talent then those teams and they could go off if they click at the right moment.

you know, thinking about it, I'd want this team to get the #1 seed just because the Bulls need it more than us. Even though we won in their homecourt in the ECF, they play much better there. They have always played better at home. Just for competitive sake, I'd like this team to be the #1 seed.

I'd rather face the Pacers but they would have to go on a huge skid for them to be the 8th seed or 7th. Philly is being exposed because they can't shoot very well, they depend on a guy on their bench (not the way to go even if you want to contend), ATL just always happens to be the 5th seed or 4th seed always. Boston is just... there... depending on the team they are against they can pass the 1st round lol.

We've already shown it doesn't matter against the Bulls and with the 2-3-2 format in the finals is it even better to have homecourt?

The fact that we did something AGAINST THE ODDS once doesnt mean we should want to do that again.

this team aint so **** special that home court doesnt effect us...get off your high horse. it will help us just like it helps every other team.

In a game 7, yes.

Same here but I don't think the Mavs will easily get by the Thunder this year.

We're one of the best road teams again this season. This team is pretty special in that regard. We play pretty even home or away. Other teams seem to get a boost at home, but we're just good everywhere. PEACE.

That's pretty much why I said it doesn't matter too much, LeBron especially seems to better away than at home (or at least be even both ways) while you kinda see Wade and Bosh feed more off the energy of the home crowd.
