"Game 7 at home is an 80% proposition."

Agree to disagree. @kpelton #peltonmailbag

In a typical series, a home team is expected to win Game 7 about 80 percent of the time because historically that has been the case. NBA teams are 102-26 all time in Game 7s, almost precisely an 80 percent winning percentage.

So should the Cleveland Cavaliers be overwhelming favorites Sunday against the Indiana Pacers despite a dismal first-round series thus far?
