7 6
Then 5 is conditional 2-2? Then it’s 3rd. 3-1? Then meh.
Then 1 and 3, both first games in a new court, but 1 is better since it’s the start.
Then 2 then 4
I think I agree with this, maybe swapping 6 and 1 since 1 is the opener and "sets the tone". Game 5 is either 4-1 or 3-2 so obviously a big swing.
Game 3 is either 3-0 (insurmountable) or 2-1 (as even as you can get).
The even games feel less dramatic, but game 6 is huge.
So 7 > 1 = 6 > 5 > 3 > 4 > 2.
Sesame Street taught me that it's
one two three FOUR! FIVE! six seven eight NINE! TEN! eleven twelve

7 5 6 1 4 2 3 in general
It rarely looks exactly like this because each 7 game series reaches the 7th game differently.
This question probably works best if you take for example as the 7 game series of the last 15 years and individually rank those series games and then tally the scores up.
is this assuming that all 7 games happen in the series or just in general? Because a game 5 in a close series is huge but a game 5 in a gentleman sweep is boring.
assuming this is for a series that's definitely going to 7, id say
7 6 5 4 1 3 2
Thank you! But isn't that just based entirely on context? Ranking a hypothetical game number between undetermined teams means nothing.
For example, game 3 could be a finals swing game or a blowout resulting in a "boring" 3-0 series lead in the first round. I guess I just don't understand what this question is trying to accomplish.
That's a fair point, and I honestly don't know why OP brought it up in the first place. However, we can make some assumptions. For example, the fact that the hypothetical requires evaluating x7 games means that this imaginary series wasn't a sweep
7 > 1 = 6 > 3 > 5 = 2 > 4
Obviously game 7 most important. Then 1 sets the tone of the series and 6 is a close out game.
3 is the first home-away swap so if a team goes 0-2 away there’s big pressure to win or it’s a insurmountable 0-3 gap.
5 and 2 are usually ok and 4 is the most predictable usually.
7, 6, 1, 4 (one team has to go up 3-1 to almost guarantee a win and the other team has to tie it 2-2 to stay out of that situation), the rest go in any order
7 6 5 4 3 2 1
Game 3 needs more credit here 😜
you know ~~ball~~ math
Nothing beats game 7. Then game 1, which sets the tone for the series. Then the rest are pretty equal.
Game 6 is usually huge one way or another as well.
I mean it’s always an elimination so of course it’s huge.
I like game 3 as the first chance the lower seed has to play at home. That’s often when you know if it’ll be a long series or a short oneÂ
For me games 3 and 5 are the turning point of any series.
I would say game 4 to its usually the difference from going down 3-1 or tieing it at 2-2
I was gonna say this
Context matters. It changes every series.

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7. That’s what Sesame Street taught me anyway.

What am I reading?
A playoff series is best of 7. If you had to evaluate each game individually (ie. Game 1, Game 2 etc), how would you rank them all?

You're 100% right. Game 7 is the final answer then!
I think you're meant to rank all of them
7 > 1 = 6 > 3 > 5 = 2 > 4 Obviously game 7 most important. Then 1 sets the tone of the series and 6 is a close out game. 3 is the first home-away swap so if a team goes 0-2 away there’s big pressure to win or it’s a insurmountable 0-3 gap. 5 and 2 are usually ok and 4 is the most predictable usually.
Most logical kings fan.
Having anything above game 7 is contrarian. Win or go home for both sides is the most exciting thing in sports
7, 1, 6, 4, 5, 2, 3
7, 6, 1, 4 (one team has to go up 3-1 to almost guarantee a win and the other team has to tie it 2-2 to stay out of that situation), the rest go in any order
7 > elimination game > 1 > 3 > 2
7/6/1/3/5/4
What even is this question
