    @ByTimReynolds: Home W-L after 16 playoff gms:
    '14: 7-9
    '13: 14-2
    '12: 12-4
    '11: 13-3
    '10: 13-3
    '09: 11-5
    '08: 13-3
    '07: 13-3
    '06: 13-3
    '05: 12-4
    '04: 15-1

    The underdogs have beaten the higher seeded teams more than the opposite. And just look at the other seasons. Nothing comes close. If we don't accidentally win Game 1 despite the refs, it'd be 8-8, perfect parity.

    This means we have to be careful with our home games.

    Yeah, really. I think the Pacers will win their series. Miami for sure. Everything else is open.

    But who'da thunk (to use bad grammar), going into the playoffs, that the two teams up 2-0 would be Miami, no surprise, Washington and Portland?

    My wish list is Blazers/Warriors WCF - would that be entertaining????
