2008 NBA Finals Format???

The longer this series goes, the more it favors the Boston Celtics. It just seems this team is just never tired. They just keep going and going and going. Tomorrow is the game and I'm expecting Boston to win. For some reason, I see this being a Home Court series where the Lakers win all the Home games and the Celtics win all of theirs. I know Pierce won't be 100% but he'll play and do what he can. As long as it's not a sweep, it might be interesting.

i have no clue why they are doing that format, that is interesting, but tonight the Lakers will tie it back up 1-1. I haven't seen the Lakers play as ugly of a game as they did last night all season. So they will step it up and win tonight, Lamar Odom will come out big and they will win. Go Lakers!

Hi there! I think you might want to recheck your schedule of Game 2. Game 2 will be tomorrow, Sunday at 9pm EST. With regards to the 2-3-2 format, I am not sure if this is new for this season or it has been like this for years and like you, I just didn't notice it also. This time though, I noticed the format all because the Celtics are in it. I think this format benefits the Celtics because there is a chance that if they win, they'll play it in Boston. If there is a split in the first 2 games, if LA wants to win this Finals at home, then they have to win straight. If Boston wants to win, they have to win at least one in LA and then come back to Boston and win it there. They really showed a good Game 1, so it's hard to tell who wins. I just hope that the rest of the games will be as exciting as the first one. Enjoy!
