Heat have the toughest strength and conditioning program in the NBA….. I think they’re well prepared for the altitude

And New York is just ManhattanSame with how people think LA is just West LA
. The coastal people are typically louder about distaste for places they’ve never even been though

Well if you look at the early 80s, the Finals were LA vs Boston or Philly and 2-2-1-1-1 was burdensome. Going coast to coast just wasn’t feasible due to where we were in civil aviation so to make things easier they went to 2-3-2 purely for travel reasons in 1985. Between 1985 and when they reverted back to 2-2-1-1-1 in 2014 there was obviously a major cash infusion to the league such that teams had their own jets and were flying private but there were also significant advancements in aircraft.
People could get across the country not only faster and more affordably but they were also able to do it more comfortably due to improvement in cabin interiors and most importantly changes in design and materials. Newer aircraft feature a lower cabin air pressure which matters because high cabin air pressure results in jet lag. You were basically triggering acute mountain sickness for these long haul flights which isn’t good in general but especially for athletes.
So the developments in flight are what allowed them to pivot back to 2-2-1-1-1 which I believe is more fair and more of a “true home court advantage” like Picasso said.

I like the Cheesecake Factory. People love to turn thier noses up at franchise restaurants but to each their own.

All the food is made in house (even the dressings & sauces) & the menu has a ton of variety.
It's a fine restaurant for what it is.

Cheesecake Factory is fine. Diverse menu, decent food, great portions.
The only franchise sit-down restaurant I'll never go to is Olive Garden.

Give me a specialty restaurant with a limited menu, over something like Cheesecake Factory. Cheesecake Factory chefs have to learn how to cook like 100+ items from various cultures

You can't compare a chain to a local, specialty spot, They're two entirely different concepts.

I think I have 3 dishes in my rotation there.
I look through the whole menu every time, but always come back to the same things.

Dynamite Shrimp
Buffalo Blasts
Spinach Dip
Usually one of those 3 since the appetizers are big enough for one meal

Folks who hate on the Cheesecake Factory are culinary hot take artists. The menu is as thick as encyclopedia and has something for literally everybody. Probably the only restaurant that I can honestly claim has no holes in its menu. There is no way someone can't find something that tickles their fancy there.

Grandparents took my son to OG and he developed a liking for it. I take him there occasionally but almost always get just the soup/salad/breadstick combo for myself. Their Minestrone is genuinely good, IMO.

I had some Cheesecake the other day with my daughter. She got Chicken Alfredo (yuck) and Orange Chicken (like it was PF Chang).
