No it doesn't. If Miami had four home games it would defeat the purpose of home court advantage.

You shouldn't have to get to game 6 to play your 3rd home game if you won more games.

Why not?

Because none of the other series in the playoffs are that way.

So? That's not a reason why it should be changed. The same logic could be applied to say the other series should be changed to 2-3-2.

So tell me why you think it should be changed.

ok, then change every other series to 2-3-2

just have it be the same is all i'm saying. what's the reason for having 2 sets of progressions ?

:lol:

i mean wasn't the original intent because it was essentially a east/west thing and so as to therefore minimize travel ?
in this day and age that's pretty ridiculous reason

Since the East is pretty weak I'd like to see the East and West teams seeded 1 through 16 and play a tournament rather than the Heat play no one good to get to the Finals every year.

This thread is dumb. The format is fine the way it is. Thunder were likely going to lose tonight regardless of where the game was. Nothing to see here.

Boston and Indiana won more games against Miami that the Thunder did. They were tougher competition.

I don't know if you can say that for sure. Bosh played 1 or 2 games against Boston and maybe 1 game against Indiana. I don't think the Thunder were worse competition from most aspects than those other teams, they just didn't play enough defense.

Not playing defense makes them easier competition moron.

And yes I am sure i can say they were tougher competition. They won more games against Miami. Boston was missing Avery Bradley and Jeff Green too so the injury excuse doesn't apply.
