NBA Playoffs 2014: Game 7 Stats Beat The Odds
3 Game 7s tonight in the NBA Playoffs! And 2 tomorrow!
So to recap here’s the statistical breakdown of what to expect:
“The NBA Team that wins Game 1 wins the series 78% of the time.”
So that means Spurs, Warriors, Thunder, Hawks, Nets should win Game 7.
“History has shown us, when a series is tied one game apiece, whoever wins Game 3 goes on to win the series 77% of the time.”
That means Mavs, Clippers, Grizz, Hawks, Nets should win Game 7.
“80% of home teams win Game 7.”
Victory belongs to Spurs, Clippers, Thunder, Pacers, Craptors.
Finally:
“6 times a No. 8 seed to beat a No. 1 seed since the NBA expanded to a 16-team playoff format in 1984.”
That’s rare so odds are on the Spurs and Pacers side.
The numbers don’t lie people.
