@ESPNStatsInfo: The NBA Finals are moving back to 2-2-1-1-1 format. Under the 2-3-2 format, teams with the home-court advantage had a series record of 21-8 Sent from my baller ass iPhone 5 FAMS!
@SpearsNBAYahoo: Stern says it was unfair for team with better record to be away three games & spend eight days on road. "Easy sell," Stern said. Sent from my baller ass iPhone 5 FAMS!
@SpearsNBAYahoo: David Stern says NBA Board of Governors unanimously approve a 2-2-1-1-1 Finals with extra day off between Game 6 & 7. 2-3-2 previously. Sent from my baller ass iPhone 5 FAMS!
You're slippin John... slippin. http://sportstwo.com/threads/247198-NBA-Finals-back-to-2-2-1-1-1?highlight=finals format
I think they should change it so higher seeds get to pick their opponent at each round of the playoffs.
I think they should change it so that the refs actually call fair games, and the league isn't completely biased towards superstars.... maybe that's just me.
Goddammitt Nate! You are SO wrong. They don't just bias toward superstars.... They also are biased toward large TV market teams.
I've got some bad news for you... http://basketball.realgm.com/wireta...ore-About-Monetization-Than-Integrity-Of-Game
Does Silver even look like someone that would care about the game? Does he look like he's even picked up a basketball in his life?
Huh? 2 of the last 4 Finals went to Game 7 with the current format. I hate this change. I like tradition. Better team gets Game 6 and 7 at home. What more could they ask for?
No thanks! NBA != NCAA. More games = more likelihood that the better team wins. And better teams in later rounds = better quality of bball.
The product would be much better if they played fewer games. There are dozens of guys sitting out games just to rest because there are way too many. Could you picture a healthy veteran NFL QB taking a game off in week 6 to rest? When you have a game one day and a game tomorrow plus two more games later that week none of them feel terribly important. Its weird the NBA plays all these games because they think it gets them more money. The NFL plays the least games and has by far the most revenue.
