Do you think this will effect the outcome of NBA finals any differently or will it pretty much be the same teams who will win regardless of format?

The word unnecessary comes to mind. Superior talent/superior wills will still win. If anything this just seems like a way to insure the winner of the title has a greater chance of winning at home to make for better television. It is wack as ? seeing a team win a title at an away game, stadium all depleted and lifeless.

6 games?

I womder what percentage of games in the last 10 years end in a game 5 or 7 (home) vs a game 6 (away). In a way it forces more game 7s since winning a game 6 is away is less likely to be won by the team with the initial home advantage assuming that they re ahead 3 games to 2 in the first place . The usual general scenario I assume. -
About time. That 2-3-2 ? was the real uneccesary one.
Since no team is wining 3 straight at home, it forces a road team to win 2 games on the road,
whereas 2-2-1 format you only gotta steal 1 -

Wrong.
The 2004 Detroit Pistons and 2012 Miami Heat beg to differ. -

This is not news -
2006 Heat did it too. -
They should have done this a while ago in my opinion. Never liked the 2-3-2 format

Wrong the NBA Committee has officially voted to change the format back. So its still news. Google is your friend. -
So it's official they changed it?
-
The NBA team owners have to officially vote it in also, then it gets passed officially officially. Things are looking good for now.eastbay510 wrote: »So it's official they changed it?

Yes. The 2-3-2 format favors the road team IMO. 3 home games in a row is too much. Not to mention, role players play better at home, young teams play better at home, and refs give you the benefit of the doubt at home. If the road team steals the first game due to the long hiatus between the conference finals and the finals, they're in an excellent position to take the series.
The 2-2-1-1-1 format halts any kind of biased momentum, and makes it so whoever wins is tested on all fronts.
Now they need to look at shortening the 1st round, so we can get to the good games quicker. -
They just changed the first round to 7 games in 2004, I don't think they'll change it back so soon..
First round actually has some good series' sometimes with the 3 vs. 6 and 4 vs. 5 seeds though -
I wasnt being literal. In 25+ years i wanna say no more than 3 or 4 teams have done it. -
they should.i cant stand the format right now
-
I don't like this. I loved the 2-3-2 format. It made the strategy of winning a seven-game series much more intriguing.
-
I'd ? with a 1-1-1-1-1-1-1
-
I actually like the 1st round being 7 games, it increases the chances for a upset
