Hypothetically speaking (obviously), although he never got out of the first round, I think if 2002 Tracy McGrady were on this Miami team instead of Lebron, Miami would've won in 5.

both series go 2-2, with all teams holding serve on home court through the first 4 games.

expectations are the home teams win game 5 and then everyone loses some interest as things appear to be playing out according to the time-honored NBA script of the team with home court advantage overall winning the series, either in 6 or 7 games.

both game 5's are not only won by the road team, but they both win 3 in a row--very rare in NBA playoffs.

Now the expectation is that OKC wins in 6 and the Celts finish off the Heat at home in 6.

what better way to increase the interest in the series than have the road teams--down 3-2--force game 7's.



Not buying your conspiracy theory. The Bulls won a few of their Championships in 6 games and it's actually unusual for the finals to go 7. I will not be surprised if Miami forces a game 7. But I will not be at all surprised if the Celtics finish them off in game 6. I think thats the more likely scenario if Boston is to win the series. I believe the Celtics know that if they drop game 6 on their home court, winning a game 7 in Miami is gonna be a very tough task. I expect the Celtics to therefore match the energy and intensity the Heat will bring to game 6 and "if the good Lord's willing and the creek don't rise"...

This may be my favorite quote of all time by you.

Okay-I get your point. But every game since game 2 has been decided by last second shots Made/Missed. The Celtics could easily have won game 2 with Rondo's historic performance leading the way and be Eastern Conference Champions. The Heat could easily have won each of the past 3. And I do not think it was dumb for Wade to have taken a 3 with the OT clock winding down in game 4 rather than trying to penetrate and get a better shot. They lost LeBron and Wade was probably pretty spent. Taking a shot to get the win there was the right thing to do in my opinion.

I think the team that throw the ball thru the hoop more times than the other team has a pretty good chance at winning this game.

THat isnt true. If one team made 30 3s and the other team made 40 2s.
