Absolutely disagree with this. The court or field is the same in any sport, but you aren't affected by the backdrop in football or baseball the way you are in basketball. When it's familiar you'll shoot more consistently. It's like that in all levels of basketball, not just the NBA.Gblock wrote: i would have to say that home field advantage would be greater in baseball and football because of the differences in weather and the size and shapes of the feilds for baseball....most nba courts are very similar...the foul shot differential is rediculous home and away for nba

you're wrong about baseball. shadows, batter's eye, dome roofs/sky, lighting, playing surface, foul territory, field dimensions, ground rules, distance between home plate and backstop, all sorts of nooks and crannies.SQ_Crazies wrote:Absolutely disagree with this.

dont both basketball teams play with the same court?SQ_Crazies wrote: Baseball fields aren't different until you get to the fence. That doesn't matter all that much, especially since both teams play with the same fence.

One team plays 41 games and practices with the same backdrop. The other team might play 2 games in that gym in a year. Just like every other thread, you're not reading what is there and taking it for what it is. I'm not talking about the court.2quik4u wrote:dont both basketball teams play with the same court?SQ_Crazies wrote: Baseball fields aren't different until you get to the fence.

i hope you're not being serious.SQ_Crazies wrote: Baseball fields aren't different until you get to the fence. That doesn't matter all that much, especially since both teams play with the same fence.
Shadows are shadows. Both teams play with it, you don't necessarily get used to that when playing at home.
You get used to what you see when you look up at the hoop in your own gym. Like I said, it happens at every level of basketball but I don't really care if you don't agree.
And also, like I said, travel has a lot to do with it. Travel is tougher on players in the NBA than any other sport.
No shit, they're different in football too.dat dude wrote: Backdrops are different at every baseball stadium as well. Further, weather isn't an issue in basketball.

Yeah but this could play a huge factorSQ_Crazies wrote: Arenas have different lighting, layouts, banners, seating arrangements, etc. Every time you look up to score points, it comes into play.
In baseball, the pitcher is the same distance away in every stadium, and when you're focusing in on a pitch you aren't paying much attention to what is 400 feet ahead of you.
Like I said, which is being ignored because it kills other arguments, travel has a bigger role than it does in any other sport as well.
Weather is relative, both teams play in the same weather.
