When will an NBA team finally overcome an 0-3 deficit?

[Spurs and Mavs fan]

It's kind of tiring to hear that an NBA team has never overcome an 0-3 deficit, and I wanted the Magic to pull it off against the Celtics two seasons ago.


(This thread isn't about the Spurs or Clippers, btw.)

[duhoh]

the good players know to not get that low, and the players that allow it aren't good enough to get out of a that kind of hole tbh.

You should make a few more threads.

Honestly when an injury or a suspension keeps a franchise player out until the 4th game.

I can see a team coming back from an 0-3 deficit against the Heat just by keeping the next 4 games close.

The Blazers almost pulled it off a couple of years ago. In fact I think they were up in the fourth quarter of game 7 before losing.

probably never

lol I remember that series, especially consistently seeing Scottie Pippen's washed up self on a bike the whole damn time.

The Blazers had the game tied at 93 with 3:13 left in the 4th. Then the Mavericks went on a 14-2 run to snuff out the rally that would have brought Portland back from 0-3.

The next time we're down 0-3.

Well, perhaps an underdog manages to steal one or two wins in fluke fashion, then also wins one on its home court. Then the superior team finally gets to its senses and wins the next 4 straight.

This. It has to be a franchise player with a weak supporting cast

For exemple, let say Lebron had a 2 weeks injury before the playoff in 2009 when the cavs swept the pistons. Cavs could have been 0-3 againt the Pistons without Lebron before winning the 4 next when Lebron returns

Stop making stupid poll threads fucktard.

If this Spurs team was told at the beginning of this series, "Hey, you have to win 4 straight and they only have to win 1" then you'd see the first comeback ever.

[spursfan1000]

I don't see it ever happening, its hard to think a team would take a 3-0 lead and not be able to win another game in one of the remaining 4 games.
