Home court would have been huge, the people here acting like it wasn't were just kidding themselves, or for some reason believing the players who are some of the most stubborn guys I know. I did however believe with all of the "this is our last run" talk the guys would actually come out with an ounce of hustle and effort on the defensive end. When you let a team get off early it can be very dangerous, Miami allowed us to do it in that road game and we allowed the Knicks to do it, sometimes a team will never cool off enough to let you back in. We could be fighting from behind the whole game because of a bad first 5 minutes.
