Why Is HomeCourt Advantage So Important?

It doesn't mean that you are going to win it all.

 

[Fillmoe]

most teams play better at home and a home crowd can be the difference between a loss and a win!

 

[Gargamel]

Percentages of team losing first game or first two games and ending up losing the series are very high. Also, better to play a Gm7 on your home court. Also play one more game at home than the other team.

It's obvious, the crowd can be VERY distracting, especially at arco arena.

 

[lala2pretty2005]

I just don't see the diffrent.

Go take a look at a team's win- loss percentages at home, then on the road. Do that for each team in the NBA. If you still don't see a difference, get back to me.

would you rather take a 20 minute drive to work or would you rather take a 1-8 hour plane ride?

 

[Gargamel]

I just don't see the diffrent.

If you're really 2 pretty, it doesn't matter. (la la)

I think having the homecourt advantage is important because you just get more support from your fans being at home. But it does depend with the different teams, I guess, because look at Seattle's record...aren't they better on the road than they are at home?

But I think the players are more comfortable playing at home than they are on the road.

 

[lala2pretty2005]

I do see the diffrent between homegames and aways games. But if you lose, you just lose. So why worried about getting the HomeCourt Advantage.

Well If that the case then what happen when The Lakers swept The Kings in the 2000-2001 playoff series.

I'm trying to get smart but I just want to know what happen that year.

That Lakers team had the best playoff run in league history. That's basically it.

Do you think The Heat going to break that record this year.

 

[Gargamel]

No. They're a new team, no one but that 2001 team accomplished the feat...and I think the Spurs are going to win the title.

What do you mean by saying "They're a new team".Don't they got Zo,Shaq,Steve and others who had been to the playoff.
