Yeah. I think it was 82% that the team that went up 2-1 would win the series in the Semis. Not sure about Finals though.

Heat were up 2-1 LAST YEAR...

This time last year, some fool watched Miami win game 3, and at the time this situation was 100%. Look how that turned out.

The bottom line is that these two teams are remarkably evenly matched. The smallest matchups can impact the entire thing. Derek Fisher was 0-4 from three in game 2. If he is 1-4 that game is very different. Basketball is a crazy sport, especially when the teams are this close in talent.
