As we have proven, the so-called NBA zigzag theory is a virtual wash. It is above .500 long-term but a slight loss with the juice. However, various bounce back angles, which take several other factors into consideration, do win long-term.

We have quite a few. Of course many have overlapping games, but there is also strong corroboration. Two that have the basic premise of a clear favorite off a blowout loss. One is 80-37, while another is 145-95-3.

Home teams under all circumstances are 26-15 in Game 7s of playoffs. Toronto has shown to more than hold their own as a great home court crowd.
