2-3-2 Finals format likely out in 2014 (NBA)

The NBA is expected to make a major change to its traditional Finals schedule, ending the 2-3-2 format and returning to the 2-2-1-1-1 game rotation used in all other playoff rounds, multiple sources told ESPN.com.

The league's competition committee has voted to recommend the change to the league's board of directors.

"The idea was raised at the competition committee and was well-received and the committee ultimately unanimously voted to recommend the change in format," NBA spokesman Tim Frank said Sunday.

The change is expected to be adopted at the next meeting in October and could be implemented for the 2014 Finals, the sources said.

I like it. I felt the 2-3-2 format favored road teams.
