Don't get me wrong...I love seeing Leo at a Lakers game, just a Lakers hater...but at least he grew up there.

College football is up there as well.

(17,087 posts)So we are really talking about a range between 50-60%. It's understandable that basketball would have the greatest advantage, given the raucous environment and proximity of the fans to the refs. I don't think they can do too much about it, really.
I was just saying it is the biggest in the NBA except for college basketball and I don't feel anyone should do anything about it unless I'm not understanding you correctly.
I guess all I was saying is it isn't really surprising, I've seen the home team win the first 2 games then the road team win their first 2 home games so many times that you can't count a team out until they play their home games. Home teams are 51-22(I may have a miscounted) in the 2012 playoffs.
I sort of called it when you factor in Heat winning the game 2 and the impact it had on this series.
Heat needed this win, Boston is great at home.
