Posted May 23, 200519 yr Who gets home court if they face each other in the Finals? They have the same record.
May 23, 200519 yr Since they were 1-1 against each other. It's goes to the Heat since they have a better conference record.
May 23, 200519 yr I understood that if the Heat played the Suns or the Spurs that both would have Home Court advantage.

May 23, 200519 yr Its been my impression that the Spurs would have it, but that conference record thingy sounds as solid as any other tiebreaker, so who knows... If it goes to strength of schedule, though, obviously that'd be the Spurs...

May 23, 200519 yr Two-Team Tiebreakers are the following: 1. Better record in head-to-head games 2. Higher winning percentage in conference games 3. Higher winning percentage within division (if teams are in the same division) 4. Higher winning percentage against playoff teams in own conference 5. Higher winning percentage against playoff teams in opposite conference 6. Higher point differential between points scored and points allowed. We should have home court, as we went 1-1 against them, and our conference record (41-11) is better than the Spurs (36-16). So, go Spurs?

I have read around the internet that the tiebreak in this case is the record against the other conference, which certainly makes more sense. On the other hand, reading what morons post on the internet isn't always the best way to come by information, so I can't say for sure.
May 23, 200519 yr san antonio has home court against all teams not named phoenix and we took that yesterday.
May 30, 200519 yr san antonio has home court against all teams not named phoenix Ok, now tell me why 788829[/snapback] well since you dont know nba rules..... in the nba finals for the tiebreak tiebreak one is head to head. they split. tiebreak two is record against other conference. miami was 18-12 san antonio was 23-7 someone pointed that out in this thread. now run along and learn the rules. would you like to go into something offbeat about basketball itself to further learn this sport?
May 30, 200519 yr Oh, I'm sorry. I apologize for knowing the tiebreaker rules for playoff seeding and not for the NBA Finals. The NBA apparently decided they were going to seed one way, and then essentially reseed another way. That's cute, but gay. Why don't you go run along and learn to post something concrete behind a fact, instead of this is how it is and no reason why. But that isn't possible for you now is it :thumbup

Do you feel like a big man?
May 30, 200519 yr As far as I know, this is the simple equation. Edit: Ignore again, It's record against opposite conference. Thus Spurs have Home-Court
May 30, 200519 yr As far as I know, this is the simple equation. Spurs Record > Heat Record = Spurs have home-court 789527[/snapback] They had the same regular season record

May 30, 200519 yr To take the homecourt advantage of the NBA finals, do they not follow a separate formula if the teams have a tie record and split head to head? Apparently, they do. So, they reseed.
