i've said it before, and i'll say it again ...

the 2-3-2 setup of the finals gives that road team a huge advantage!! ... imagine this game tonight if it was 2-2 and in MIAMI?? woulda been a lot different. i really dislike how they set this up and its just terrible.

having said that, hope the heat win game 6 so we can see a game 7!!

totally agree it's retarded that they change the format for the finals, and would love to hear them explain why they do it, I have never heard any reason given for it and can't see one that would make sense.

i would think part of it is flying all of the media and camera crew and setup and tear down from city to city for when they go back and forth for games 5-6-7, etc etc ...

lol you are probably right, forgot this is the nba we are talking about, monetary concerns would definitely make sense.

That's exactly it. In the 80's with all those l.a/bos finals they made the switch.

Like Charles Barkley said the Miami fans are the worst in the NBA ....and probably all of sports.

It's not easy to win 3 straight home games, Dallas didn't. It's not easy to win 2 straight, Miami didn't. It doesn't give Dallas the advantage to have it 2 3 2
