And where's your history of how that's a disadvantage?.... you'd need data that shows the winning percentage of the road team in the Conference format vs the percentage of road Champions in the Finals. And even then, it's still skewed because the level of competition isn't a constant. The best comparable would be road teams in the ECF/WCF. Using the earlier rounds with weaker road teams wouldn't tell the real story.Then you're ignoring the almost 30 year history of the format.
The format pits the home team at a disadvantage since they almost never win ALL three games.
in nearly 30 years, only 3 teams have done it. It's veyr very very hard to do

If anyone whose not on the list of picks wants to get their pick officially in or officially changed PM me.
It must be in by tip-off. Sorry I'm working now and don't have time Togo through the thread for missing picks or change requests but if you pm me ill sort things out tonight when I have time.
If the pick or change request is not pm'ed before 5:37pm it won't be counted.

DId you not get the bet memo LTB?
If the Heat win you have to have a Dwight Howard Houston Rockets avy until free-agency. You choose mine, if the Spurs win.

Hmm.... 
... Okay Coupe, I agree. We have a bet. But I don't know what your Avy would be just yet. I'll create one for you though if the Spurs win the series.
*shakes hand*

You have to at least let me know what idea you're thinking about if I lose the bet.
There are some limits I may not cross.

If history says that one team loses at least 1 of their home games 90% of the time because of the format of the series, I'd call it a disadvantage.Then you're ignoring the almost 30 year history of the format

And where's your history of how that's a disadvantage?

well I honestly don't know. But I promise it won't be anything that crosses the line. I'm not that typa guy.It'll either be sports related or some kind of obnoxious promotion for my social media accounts lol...
But it might not even come to that If Lebron plays like he did in the last finals...
