I think that to your team and showing the guys in the room utter confidence you have to go the first two at home because you are telling the players that you believe in them and that they are going to win both games at home and finish in 3.
In theory if you have to finish an elimination game on the road it should be easier because you should have less pressure on you to perform compared to the other team who has to entertain its home crowd.
