    "significantly better than the 21% that most people assume"

    What a random number. Why would "most" people assume 21%?

    I think I heard the stat on the radio after saturday that the team who wins game 1 in a 7 game format has won like 290 out the 370 series.. or something like that. which puts it pretty close to the 21%... 21.7 to be exact I think.

    We just need to win Game 2, and go from there. If we lose again... ugh.

    The thing about that stat though that doesnt get taken into consideration... the team that wins game 1 usually is the better team that wins and thats why they have a higher seed and HCA... and win.. I'd be more interested to see these stats broken down by the 4/5 seed since traditionally the matchup and talent would be much closer than 1-8 and 2-7 and 3-6... just my two cents though.

    Oh and evidently most men under 4-feet, with substantial hair on their feet, and are over 50-years old believe 19% of the time teams with HCA that have lost Game 1 will go on to win Game 2.

    :)

    Right, but that includes all teams that lose game 1, including road teams.
