Back to 2-2-1-1-1.

Not a fan of that. But seeing that we probably won't be in the finals for some time it won't affect me much.

Good. I always felt that the road team had the advantage in 2-3-2.

Once the home team loses Game 2, all the pressure goes onto them.

Or if the home team wins two straight...Games 3, 4, and 5 could be won by the home team, giving back pressure to the home team for Game 6. Aaaand the road team would gladly take advantage of that and try to seal it in.
