    Is this a meaningful stat?

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

    The Wizards are facing elimination tonight.

    The Wizards themselves are 0-11 in elimination games.

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

    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.

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

    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 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.
