WIth the NBA Finals just a couple of days away, everyone is weighing in with their predictions about which team will win, and how many games it will take them to do so.If you're in the habit of going out on a limb with a bold pick of who will emerge as the NBA's champion, there's one scenario that you might want to try and stay away from: Picking Orlando to win it in seven.
Over at the Magic blog Third Quarter Collapse, they did a little research as to what's happened since the league went to its current 2-3-2 format for the Finals. One of the things they found out was that since 1985 when this format was started, only three times was the team with the home court advantage pushed to a seventh game. And the home team won the Game 7 every single time.

Hrmm, Boston was 32-0 when leading a series 3-2. The Magic won.
I'm not saying it WILL happen, but it CAN happen. History is just that . . . history. It doesn't mean it will stay that way.
Here's to hoping for Orlando in 5 though! Hahaha.
Lakers in 4!
Ahahahaha......SO SORRY!
OK mark mine: Orlando will take one game in LA and finish them in Orlando.
