    In NBA history, when the series is tied 2-2, the winner of Game 5 goes on to win the series 83% of the time.

    Go Blazers!

    I wonder if that is taking into account all of the 5 game series that would end after the 5th game.

    Even stranger factoid? 100% of the teams that won 4 games first, in a 7 game series, won the series.

    MIXUM posts 72% less of the time and Mediocre Man 63% less of the time following a Blazer win.

    When Brandon comes back from a injury in a emotional return, the Blazers win 60% of the time, every time.

    You sir are a masterbaiter, now go shave your palms and make sure you have someone help because you are probably going blind.

    The real question, though, is....do I rub people the wrong way?

    Translation: When a team is up 3-2, they lose both remaining games 17% of the time.

    Edit: 83% isn't the number for all series that are 3-2. It's only for series that were earlier 2-2, not for series that had been 3-0 or 3-1 before getting to 3-2.
