Message: [QUOTE="Phil, post: 4588587, member: 66"] Well, I watched every minute of the game. I don't think I'm a hyper partisan but I've talked to hyper partisans and haven't yet met one who agrees there hyper partisan so that's a call for someone else to make. I just double checked again cast and agree that through much of the game the margin was no more than two possessions. But two possessions is, at the risk of being obvious, one more than one possession, and the stats suggests that home court is worth slightly less than one possession. It was only a single possession margin with 2:19 to go But it was more than a single possession when Georgia called a timeout with 47 seconds to go And it was a three possession game (seven points) from 5:04 to 4:17, so even if we around 2.7 up to three, the argument that this result is due to home-court advantage just isn't borne out by facts. As for "That was not an eight point game", I simply stated the fact that the final margin was eight points. Do you disagree? [/QUOTE]
