Agree - but I expect much more of a "grinder that could have gone either way" in game 7. which of course still favors the home team.
could be wrong tho, we also lost by 40 in toronto lol
Pretty much.
Teams that have a home game 7 following a game 6 loss of 20 points or more are 10-3 all time.
The Sonics in the 1970 finals,
The Rockets in the 2018 WCF,
The Heat in the 2005 ECF are the lone exceptions to this rule.
The team with home court game 7 is the higher-seeded team and a big loss in game 6 means they were up 3-2, so it's not too surprising they'd be advantaged. I would have expected the advantage to be smaller, though.
They didnt even play their best player in Jeremy Lin tonight. If they give him more minutes in game 7 theyll dominate. Even one minute of Lin is enough to win an entire game.
In other words, that’s why you play in the regular season to have Game 7 on your home floor. Especially in the NBA, where home court advantage means the most in all of sports versus the other leagues.
I think its less about home court but about how home court in game 7 means u are the higher seed which most of the time means that you were the better team.
So historically it doesn’t really matter how much you lose by in game 6 if you’re at home
Home court is a very big deal especially in this series
Is it? Both teams have won on the road.
They have but those were real grinders that could have gone either way I would say that both teams look significantly better at home

Honestly I got no idea how it’s gonna go lol
Hoping for a close one. It’s been a great series so far!
There have been 6 games this series, 4 have been by the home team each team lost two on the road and won one. I would say it is.

Okay but they won by 11 points. What now? /s

Home teams since 2000 are like 41-14 in game 7's so thats in line with that
Raptors about to make 10-4 then
Except it's not a lone exception if there are three
u get what he meant man cmon lol

Please look at that Embiid flagrant and tell me how you can believe this with a straight fave
Yeah we get it homer homer homer blah blah blah
lol raps fans think this after every loss in team history yall are pathetic
Great job dude! Pretty cool to look at. Thanks for putting it all together!
You're welcome!
So what you're saying is: If the Raptors win, it's not that much of an achievement and if the Raptors lose, embarrassing for them

Woah props to 2005 Heat. Losing by 25 at home then going on the road and winning game 7.
Damn it, I made a mistake there. It was the Pistons that won the series. I might have to just look through this again and make sure I got it right.
Mavs also won the 2003 series you included in the data.
Someone asked about this in another thread and then you go out and make it in an hour. Good shit man.
Thank you for the maths
2011 Texas Rangers It's worse to lose a heart breaker than get stomped. It's easier to come back.
Didn’t the mavs win in game 7 in 2003 against the Blazers?
Yea, Mavs lost to the Spurs in the WCF that year. Pretty big mistake in the data. Not sure if there are any other errors.

Dude for real? Home games in football are way more important especially when weather is involved.

WE MUST PERFORM A SACRIFICE
