Momentum shift
No, this is not Avery Johnson voicing his agreement with what I’m about to say but I’m sure he would agree with me when I say the NBA should switch there Finals format for home games to 2-2-1-1-1. Not that I care who wins the NBA championship or anything, but the current format totally favors the Miami Heat in this series. Having won three straight home games in a row, the Heat have total momentum going into game 6 and it shouldn’t be that way.
This is not to say that Dallas won’t win the next two at home, but at least they would be the team that had the early advantage to end the series. You just had the feeling nearing the finish of the game that Dwyane Wade would get all the calls, Question is, will the ref’s help Dallas in game 6 to help stretch the series to 7?
