Boy, if only 6 was on home floor, you might've closed them out.

But game 5 woulda been on thier floor!

We only won 1 game in Miami (1st game), then we gave it back in SA.

Get the best record in the league, you won't have to worry about it. Win your ing games, you won't have to worry about it.

"Owners" approve change of finals format while like 90% of them won't even get anywhere close to the finals in the foreseeable future.

I'd like to see if that holds true if it's a Clippers/Heat finals. That's going to be a lot of mileage.

First time 2-3-2 was implemented: David Stern's first year as commish
Last time 2-3-2 was implemented: David Stern's last year as commish

I'd like to see if that holds true if it's a Clippers/Heat finals. That's going to be a lot of mileage.

We already saw this in the 1984 Finals, which also went the distance.

My Mavs beat the Heat in the Finals and on their ty home court too. My Mavs are the last team to eliminate the Heat in the playoffs and the only team to eliminate them in the Finals.
