Comments on: Game Three Winners Have Won 77% of Playoff Series That Were Tied After Two Games, But What Does It Mean For Heat-Pacers?

I think it means nothing.

Every series is slightly different and has different components.

Looking at history for situations like these seem meaningless.

The Bosh injury is a lot more relevant than historical odds with no specific predictive value.

2 HOFers > 0 HOFers

Battier isn’t a HOF lock.

it’s not like Lisk comes out to your hives and tells you how to care for you bee’s.

Not just anyone can take a 3-day course and receive a certificate from the Colorado (Denver Campus) Institute of Entomology (Apiary Specialty).

Shit. I forgot about that. I retract all of my previous statements.

I saw somebody on twitter saying the Heat should still be the favorite even with the Bosh injury because 2 HOFers > 0 HOFers, but fuck that. Roy Hibbert = GOAT

Clueless Ben. I agree most of us probably believed the Pacers had less than a 77% chance of winning the series before reading this post, but I thought it was still nice to see the data. 50/50 sounds about right to me as well.

Konerko took a nasty pitch to the face but it didn’t appear intentional. He looks alright but left the game.

I’m usually a big fan of Lisk posts, but doesn’t this kind of fall under the ‘no shit’ category? The analysis is sound, but pretty straightforward. 77% is the historical average, but it’s probably less for the Pacers given their seeds and regular season win totals.
