All things being equal, I believe that home court is about a 7-10 point advantage over playing on a neutral court. So in the playoffs, that advantage is actually doubled because the only 2 options are that you're either playing in your arena or your opponents arena.

Using the example in this thread, that guy probably just gained at least 15 extra points if not 20 by making sure he won the league game and secured home court.

Yeh it should be good. Maybe we will end up in the same league. 1 in 4 chance.

Really , im not sure its worth that much 8-10 points max . No way its worth 20 , he had +2 enthusiasm on me and i had to play a lineup of 5 guards because all my bigmen got injured at the same time. Yet he only beats me 20 , so your telling me that his team playing look inside with +2 difference against my walking wounded team are equal. I dont buy that. Anyway im sure il turn this guy over at any court when my guys come back from injury.

I think you misunderstood the context. Home court is worth about 7-10 points over a neutral court. The fact that you don't have home court (losing 7+ pts) and your opponent gains home court (gaining 7+ pts) will obviously double that number for a head to head playoff game. That's assuming the same enthusiasm, similar gameshape no injuries etc...

If you're 25-30 pts better than your opponent on a neutral count as you appear to be claiming, home court shouldn't matter. But if you're only 10-15 pts better then he is then you're going to be in tough. Only you can answer this last part.

Dont make me laugh , i play to win , i dont beat the guy in the next round if i crunch time that match so theres no chance he does. He obviously didnt look ahead and scout the guy in front of him. And for 47 minutes it looked like i had made the right move lol. Il have a good chuckle tonight when the guy from the other conference beats this guy.

He only just luckily scrapes past me with hca and +1 enthusiasm so he is going to be beaten by the guy who has arguably a better all round team than even me and will be playing with max enthusiasm stored from his easy playoff cakewalk so far.
But then again some peoples goals of success are different. I dont care to make the finals if i cant win them. Each to their own though.

Well you can't win the finals if you don't win the semi's that much is for certain. And this was a game that you previously stated he had zero chance of winning.

Just Sunday I posted in the Canadian forum that the absolute biggest strategy mistake teams make in the playoffs is playing TIE in the conference finals and then losing because of it. You can throw a game in the finals but you have to get there first. You can choose to disagree but based on what just happened, I can only conclude that you're being stubborn about it.

Even with a weaker of the 2 final teams he's got home advantage in 2 of the 3 games, can TIE the game in the middle to rebuild some enthusiasm and it looks like his opponent played crunched during his semi final game too so no advantage gained there.

Quality of his team aside, so far his strategy has been nearly perfect.

I can agree with most of this but i disagree on some parts , its pretty clear he has normaled both his playoff games , he will crunch time both matches and win 2-0 if he has any brain. And he would do this to me if i was their instead. I think i would be struggling to beat him in game 1 at home never mind at his home in game 2. So i think this guy will lose. Looking at it theres no way he could win it all anyway . Either me or his final opponent would beat him no matter what he do.

As i predicted , the other team beats him in his own backyard and will most likely wrap it up when he takes the series home. I think even stevie wonder could see this one coming.
