Is there a homecourt advantage? Is it the same advantage you'd get for a regular season game?

Considering the randomness of scheduling, I would hope they're all considered neutral floor games.

I think they're not. If they were, why would the finals and the most important games be played on neutral arenas? I know, it sucks..

>The final two rounds of the tournament will be at a neutral site for countries with less than four divisions. For countries with >four or more divisions, the final three rounds will be at a neutral site, and for countries with six divisioins, the final four rounds >will be at a neutral site.

other than these, if u are playing home, u really are playing home

some survey suggest that there is a 2-3 point difference for HCA. I would say its easier to keep the flow of making a run.

what point? you mean points scored in the game is only about 2-3+ to the home team? that's not as much as I thought..

Thanks for the replies.

I also think HCA is more than 2-3 points. At least it seems that way. I would have guessed 4-6 pts.

somebody done a data research in the china forum
they claim they have 1000+ data

anyway the main point is not how much a difference, it how to get the difference.

I´d go for at least ten points difference.
In my opinion the home court advantage is far too big. Too often it´s so useless to fight for a win as the away team.
