Which playoff series in NBA history do you think would’ve changed the outcome if it was a best of 9 instead of best of 7? In a best of 9, you would add 1 away game as game 8 and 1 home game (higher seed hosts) as 9.

Depends if Tatum ankle sprain was bad enough to bother him past game 7
I do think the clock struck midnight on the Heat’s magical shooting after game 3 which we saw in the Finals against Denver as well(96 PPG for Miami) but without a healthy Tatum the Celtics weren’t putting up enough points to win because Miami had Brown in jail
They shot 39% from 3 in Game 5, 46% in Game 6, and 50% in Game 7.
There was no magic falling off, and that does a discredit to the smart defense that Denver played after Game 2 which was simply to stay on the shooters and dare a hobbled Jimmy to score.
