Eh, Heat got this.
They're just making everything.
Edit: Wtf happened to all the zone defense?

Not much they can do, not just because Miami can't miss. More because they just can't hit. They have carved up the Heat defense with ball movement the whole game and missing wide open shots and point blank layups.
Ehhhhhhh.....
Not a good sign for the Celtics. LeBron is playing like he's on a mission, and he kind of is with all those championships he promised. When someone is playing lke he is today,it's no wonder the life seems to be drained from the Celtics.
Guess we'll have to get um on Saturday...

Celtics will win Game 7 and Lebron James will be criticized for not showing up as strong as he did today. Calling it now.
Yeah. Gotta favor the Heat in game 7.
Girl 1: oooooo gurl, did u see dat last episode of the LBJ show?
Girl 2: yeh gurl, dat man was amazing. the way he did......
ok ok imma stop :/
Funny enough, Miami didn't really get the mentality they needed to win this game, as a unit. LBJ did, though....sorta: instead of "coming together", he put the team on his back and carried them through game 6. Not the best way to handle the situation, but it typically works if you're a superstar of LeBron's caliber. Miami literally didn't have to do much of anything.
Pretty boring game, honestly. Not so much because Boston lost, but because I'm just not a big fan of "one man shows" in a supposedly team sport. So I'd say the same thing if Boston won the same way Miami did tonight. Boston played absolutely terrible though and could not execute for the life of them.
If nothing else, my prediction from the beginning of Boston Celtics in 7 just might come true. We'll find out Saturday.

go watch euroleague. Don't get me wrong, I'm for basics and fundamentals when teaching kids some basketball, but these guys are NBA players.
Basically, Celtics are done with their fairy tale show.
Duh, we all know that the WNBA is where you look to for an excellent display of solid fundamentals.

lol DerrickRose. So much truth in a single picture.
I did some digging. The team who wins game 6 of the conference finals is 4-9 in game 7 in the past 20 years. Of course, the home team is 10-3 in that time, with one of the road teams' wins being the screwed up Sacramento LA series in '02
I am not interested in just looking at conference finals, that is too closeminded. I decided excluding round 1 would be about enough to weed out the ludicrous series, since most round 2 series that are still jokes end in sweeps or close to it, so I look at all of round 2-4.
In general, to suggest that winning is bad is ludicrous, particularly on the road like the Heat just did.
non-playoffs, all teams all the time since 1994-1995:
off of away win and now at home: 65% win
off of away loss and now at home: 56% win
playoffs, all teams only since 2002-2003 :(
off of away win and now at home: 67% winner
off of away loss and now at home: 65% winner
(after round 1, 66% and 63%, same order as usual)
your statistic is a coincidence :|
I think that is because the team who wins game 6 is generally the team who is at home in game 6 and thus on the road in game 7 (and also the weaker team by seed).

Situational Winning Percentage is only significant if it drastically skews one way or another from the base case. For example, compare the percentages you got from the stats you pulled, to the general stat of Home Winning Percentage, effectively taking off the situational bias? If it's sitting somewhere in the middle, then it begs the question of whether this stat tells us anything truly meaningful.
Also, out of curiosity, what is the winning percentage of a team who just lost at home and is now away? Is it directly opposite of the stat you just posted?

The odds of LeBron winning a game after listening to "In the Air Tonight" are pretty high I hear. You better hope he doesn't listen to it or or the Heat easily got this!
