im hoping hawks i very much doubr the grizzlies

Easy-Rider 66 · 05-09-12, 11:03 AM

Believe Memphis will win tonight with a good chance to bring this to a 7th game.

konck · 05-09-12, 11:18 AM

Griz have been snake bit in this series plus JJ put the jinx on them saying they were the better team
They do have a shot they have to win the game in LA somehow

seaborneq · 05-09-12, 01:10 PM

Ok. Glad I'm not the only optimist.

Avenger · 05-09-12, 01:12 PM

Hawks.

cankid · 05-09-12, 01:26 PM

wow hawks have turned it around

HighTimes · 05-09-12, 01:55 PM

If you guys think the Hawks are going to win in Boston....you need to pass the doobie over here....your all dun

lunchbawks · 05-09-12, 04:44 PM

both have a very real chance, refs will be hard rigging tonnight's game in memphis, it will probably look like game 2. griz open at -6 after going 1-3 in the series??

hawks have all their important players back, i could definitly see this going 7

Bostongambler · 05-09-12, 05:08 PM

Hawks gave up home court advantage by losing game #2.

seaborneq · 05-09-12, 06:00 PM

Game 7 would be at home. That is still an advantage.

You don't understand what home court advantage means and you have been here since 2006.

Boston and clippers have 3 wins and are guaranteed a game at home, therefore they have home court advantage .

krk1030 · 05-09-12, 06:35 PM

Home court advantage means you can win the series without winning a road game, that does not apply to the hawks or grizzlies.

The Giant · 05-09-12, 06:38 PM

If the Knicks can shock the Heat tonight, New York will have home-court advantage.

LT Profits · 05-09-12, 06:52 PM

No, both series end in 6. Celts are simply the better team, Grizz's 27-point collapse in Game 1 at home proves fatal as home teams win out thereafter.

BigDofBA · 05-09-12, 06:53 PM

Neither team will win the series because neither team is better.

JR007 · 05-09-12, 07:14 PM

Griz have the better shot of the two

The NBA just randomly gives home court advantage to worse teams?

seaborneq · 05-09-12, 08:40 PM

The better team doesn't always win the series, winning the MOST regular season games decided the homecourt advantage, not your opinions of who is the better team.

lakerboy · 05-09-12, 08:58 PM

Let's see what happens.

Celtics were heavy favorites to win the series so they were clearly better team despite Atlanta having home court advantage.

Heat were heavy faves and had homecourt advantage against the Mavs, but they were clearly the better team too, right?

Yes they were! Like you said, the better team doesn't always win. Good rules of thumb is that if the higher seed is a HEAVY favorite in a series or if the lower seed is the favorite, then the favorite is the better team. If a series is close to a Pick, then the lower seed is the better team. If the higher seed is a smaller favorite, then the teams are closer and "better" becomes more subjective.

LT Profits · 05-09-12, 11:35 PM

Putting it more simply, "better" should be defined on who the favorite would be on a neutral court.

seaborneq · 05-10-12, 07:18 AM

Good into LT

I don't think Grizz win in LA, Game 1 will haunt Memphis until next season.

I think griz can bring their series back to Memphis, it will take a Boston collapse for hawks to bring it back to atl, and even then Boston could very easily win in atlanta

lakerboy · 05-10-12, 08:36 AM

Mem might come back

seaborneq · 05-10-12, 11:42 PM

Heartless gutless hawks blow it again.

Do you still think the clippers have home court advantage in game 7?

So when both teams swap road wins does that mean that the clipps still have home court advantage?

seaborneq · 05-13-12, 06:52 AM

Can grizz finish the deal?

seaborneq · 05-13-12, 11:38 AM

I have a series bet with Grizzlies winning. How should I hedge it?
