I know we can beat all three teams, but I would feel more comfortable if the those first two games and the last two if needed, were at the Palace of Auburn Hills. Especially vs the Lakers and Spurs where we lost game 7 in 1988 and 2005 to these two teams on their home courts... 
So just don't show up, go there to win.....That means the starters have to play well enough for the bench to come in and finish the job!! |
Didn`t really think about homecourt in the Finals, and I bet the Pistons aren`t thinking about it either!
They better take it as the old saying goes, "one game at at time"!
I just don`t see the urgency of them coming out against a team like the T-Wolves with the mindset of winning for homecourt advantage in
The Finals.
Hopefully, I`m wrong.
