Niners Fan in CT Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 Reminder: There is no home court advantage in these series. We've never seen a playoffs on a neutral site before. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fowler Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 It's kinda hilarious that we are set up to have an all L.A. WCF, but it's all happening in Orlando. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_MJ_ Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 (edited) What are you guys talking about? No home court advantage? Are YOUR Orlando Magic not in the playoff bubble? They earned this moment as the lowest 8 seed. The championship goes through Orlando. Bucks beware. Edited August 16, 2020 by _MJ_ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, having said that, home ice matters more in playoff hockey than home court in basketball, and both Toronto and Edmonton went out in the qualifying round- so that's not a guarantee either.

In all seriousness now, I disagree. I think home court matters more in the NBA than the other four major US leagues. I think it's one of the reasons why the NBA playoffs generally have the least amount of playoff upsets out of the four leagues too.

Jiji Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 Home ice in hockey means you get last change, which means you get to line match your best against their worst, or your checking line against their best, etc. It's pretty huge. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jiji Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 I sadly missed it but hopefully the Jazz can stay in it until Conley comes back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Infinit Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 Mavs probably would've won if Porzingis doesn't get booted. They can totally pull an upset. How wild would it be if both LA teams don't make it out of the first round? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want a theme song, here you go (featuring Dan Majerle's excruciating whiteness) Oh, and this is the first time since May 2000(!) that the Heat won a playoff game without Dwayne Wade on the roster.
