So would you guys rather not have the home court? I don't care who plays which games at home. It's still 4 home games against 3 in a 7-game series.

OK MIO I ask you this.............wouldn't you be confident the C's could win all 3 games at home in the 2-3-2 system ? And don't you think the C's are battle tested enough to win 1 game if they had to start the 2-3-2 on the road ?

Every game is easier to win at home and harder to win on the road. I don't care if it's 3-4, 4-3, 1-1-1-1-1-1-1. I'm always going for the 4 home games.

Hey I agree 100%, that's why you play for HCA right ?

We beat them once and nearly beat them twice. I am not really worried.

:lol: it's funny that you guys think it's gauranteed that our teams will make it too the finals again. Think about the Cavs,Atlanta and all of the other teams you have too beat get too the finals and we'll think about the western conference teams we have too beat too get there before we think about you. oh, and by the way you'll need way more then home court too beat us this season

tombattor and Deep3CL, I agree 4 home games is the important thing to have, but the pivotal games should be at home, too...1,5,7. Would having games 2,3,4, and 6 be as effective if you had HCA as 1,2,5,7? I don't think so...

Nice spelling/grammar! ^^

The Celtics have already had a lot of tough games...how many have the Lakers had? I'm asking a serious question since I've only watched them a few times on TNT.
