NBA Thread V4!!: Coronavirus locks down KD and Company

Lmao @ LeBeta standing up for what matters

So how does this work? Higher seeds don't have HCA in every game of a series, are they willing to concede this shit back to the lower seeded team for X amount of games per series?

I imagine strong teams wouldn't want this. A shit team could steal HCA with a flukey shaating game, now you tip the scales in their favor even more by giving them extra possessions/fouls/challenges for their "home" games?

To get the all important home court, duh. Don’t you know how much better teams play when the floor paint matches their uniforms?

But it does help players get in better shape and chemistry with bullshit games

I'm to understand that the 8 game reg season will impact final seedings and therefore brackets/matchups. It's not insignificant

I personally have thought for a while homecourt is overrated. Not in the regular season but playoffs If a series ends in 4 or 6 no one even gets an advantage.
The reason 1,2,3 seeds win the most championships is the cream usually rises to the top in a big enough sample size

Ye I think there's a built-in rationalization that losing RS road games is acceptable to a degree, and then human nature takes over with less effort/focus. Not all teams -- some teams take winning road games as a point of pride -- but I imagine it's at least some of the case when you see a team like the Sixes go 29-2 home and 10-24 road. It's also probably amplified with teams who have tuned their coach out (again, Sixes)

I've been arguing all season with the pro-Spo crowd on RealGM cHeat board that this may be happening with Miami as well

@Razor raptors 5th seed or better $250, reminder

although Raptors have a tough final 8 games

if Raptors go 0-8 and both Philly/Indy go 7-1 then i would be fucked
