One of the strengths of this particular team is its depth. Look at how the bench does on the road. I'd rather we try to win two at home than try to steal one on the road. But all this might be moot anyway considering how well SA is playing and how easy Utah's schedule is. Think we drop to 5, maybe even 6.
Yeah on that one point i would call ya crazy. Refs are human and have the same tendencies when the crowd is going nuts. Home on a game 7 is a way better situation. Just my take on it.
Totally disagree. Here are some examples from the past few years:
Your talking about the difference of about 4 mins a game. if he plays 36 and all is well. You figure if he plays 40 in a few games he will probably be ok. But i would hate to see him have to play 40 every game.

Utah has lost to bad teams all season.
Only one seed below 4 has won the championship all time. I want a championship so I want HCA. Pressure may be on home team but team with HCA usually wins the series more time than not. Also- if there’s a game 7, you want it at home.
Our backs were against the wall the last two seasons and we lost. 0-4, 0-4. Series before those, 1-4.
We’ve only had two series with HCA in the last 19 years. Not a great sample size. But we are 2-11 in series without HCA. That’s a pretty big sample size.
Since 1993, we have won TWO of the 19 series we’ve played without HCA.
They also didn’t have HCA in the second round that year and lost in 5. Goal should be to win more than round 1.
