You know, I'm not sure; since they're in different Conferences? They do have a Tie-Breaker Protocol.
Let me look for it.

Looks like Cs win tiebreaker (head-to-head).

I just looked it up and I think it's head to head, though that info is a few years old. I believe Maine won the head to head this season 2-0, so they would host game 1.

Here's the Full Breakdown, for the Finals.
It's Old, but I think it's still in effect?

Yeah. We beat them twice this Season.

That would be Great if we have Homecourt, in the Finals for the Maine Celtics.

They just said on the Broadcast, that Maine hosts, if the Oklahoma City Blue Wins the West.

You may be jesting... But this is more proof that it's brad stevens and his roster building than anything else..

I'm sure A couple of posters will be offended by this but whatever..

If it's all Brad Stevens, the question is why did Brad hire Joe when guys like Cassell and Billups were available?

The misconception here is thinking the sane ones get offended when Joe is being attacked.

That narrative is absolutely false.

The fuss is about blaming Joe for everything that goes wrong.

Not everything is Joe's fault when the Cs lose.

Blaming Joe for everything is either hate or stupidity.

This is me admitting I haven’t watched a Maine game all year but I LOVE that small gym environment shown in this video. Reminds me of Indiana high school basketball (except many of the gyms are MUCH larger) or summer league when it used to just be scouts and coaches.
