You just don't get the importance of getting confidence from a single win and building off of that toward multiple wins. If you somehow think that playing game 5 on the road is somehow equal or better than playing game 5 at home while down 3-1 I just don't have much else to offer to convince you otherwise.
The bottom line is that a team can split on the road in the 2-3-2 format, like hopefully Texas does, and then have an opportunity to win 3 straight at home to never allow the opposing team to see their home field again. In a 2-2-1-1-1 scenario that isn't possible. It is as simple as that.
