Is this a meaningful stat?

[The Giant]

Home teams are 0-10 in the NBA postseason when facing elimination.

The Wizards are facing elimination tonight.

[Conqueror]

The Wizards themselves are 0-11 in elimination games.

Throw out the joke series with gsw and Cleveland it's 0-6

[The Giant]

The Wizards themselves are 0-11 in elimination games.

How far back does that go?

Doesn't mean that much imo. You can't expect such a simple betting strategy/ pattern to work.

[Foxx]

Means a home team is due. Pound them.

Most likely, and probably not in this series since it's been so home-based, even during the regular season.

It could be a sign a pressing for the home crowd, or just wanting the summer to start. It sure looked like that for James Harden yesterday.

Home team has won every game in this series

Wizards or no play

[lakerboy]

Not touching this game.

[Smoke]

Oh wow the giant

[RangeFinder]

No, not at all. Not nearly a big enough sample to draw any conclusion.

[IBetYou]

I wonder if what happened to the Rockets inspires a good effort from the Wizards - they might look at that hot mess and wonder that could be us. But is the outcome that fickle? hmmm I don't know...

WNBA '17 season starts in just over 8 hours. I prefer my chances with that.

I'm looking at playing the San Antonio Stars and Seattle Storm tomorrow.

Meaningless

I'm looking at playing the San Antonio Stars and Seattle Storm tomorrow.

I might swerve the game 1s due to injuries. I've read Bird might not play for the Storm. Plum might not play for the Stars.
