I take that back, this was CONFUSING the obvious. Home court advantage is basically another way of saying "the better team over the course of the last 84+ games," so why would it surprise anyone that the better team wins the series more often? What would be helpful is to analyze the number of calls the home team gets compared to the away team. Or how much better star or role players play when playing before the home crowd? Are there stats on that? Of course the better team with the home court advantage wins more... how 'bout telling us why? This was pretty much stating the obvious.
