I asserted in my Sunday column that road teams can still win in the NBA playoffs, despite evidence to the contrary. I'm not one to say "I told you so," and I'm not going to violate my own premise by making too much out of one game. But the Spurs debunked the myth last night by beating the Hornets in game 7 in New Orleans, 91-82, to advance to the Western Conference Finals against the Lakers. It was the first time that a road team won in the series and only the third time in 25 games that a road team won in the second round. As I predicted, it was bound to happen sooner or later. In the interest of full disclosure: If Media WatchDog Neil Best had asked me if I would have written this post had the Hornets won last night, my answer would have been, "No comment, Neil. Now get back to posting photos of scantily clad women on your blog in a shameless attempt to increase page views." Sigh. Source
