Yes
No
The NBA is the only sport in North America where this has never happened. It's happened once in baseball and three times in hockey. The Bruins just did it tonight making them the third team in the history of NHL to blow a 3-0 series lead. For some strange reason, it just seems like it would be extremely difficult for a team in the NBA to win 4 games in a row in a series when you have lost the first 3. Isn't the number of teams that have forced a game 7 after being down 0-3 in the series really small? I know that the Mavs almost choked a 3-0 lead in the first round against the Blazers in 2003 but they won game 7.
yes it will probably happen, and it will likely once again be the Mavs that set the standard.
afterall the Mavs so far have 3 records (first 2nd seed to lose to a 7th seed in a best of 7first round, first 1st seed to lose to an 8th in best of 7 first round, as well as first *something seed, i forgot* to lose to an *inferior* seed back in '87.
As long as the Mavericks are still a team it can be done.
You must be patient, my son.
I have every confidence that the Mavs will accomplish this feat.
son you took the words right out of my mouth .... as long as Dirk is in the NBA, there is always a chance.
Enjoy your 45-37 years next year Hornets/Spurs fans
lol Paul and Duncan
meanwhile

bahahahhahahahahhahahaha great posts, epic thread backfire
I don't see how the thread backfired. I was simply asking a question about 3-0 leads. I know that a lot of people on here orgasm over the failures of the Mavs. Sad but true. I can list some failures of the Lakers and Spurs if this is what this thread is going to be about. Yes, those teams have had failures. It hasn't always been rainbows and lollipops for those spoiled teams.
It'll happen.
Like I said when the Suns were working the Spurs like a part time job= at first blush it doesn't look that bad. One needs only to asshole Game 5 in order to get back home for Game 6. Game 7 then is a toss up according to conventional wisdom.
The problem is by 3-0 a habit has formulated that is difficult to break for each team. It's not a cyclical problem, but, one of structure, and structure is static.
Structure is inherently static.
The failure to come back from a 3-0 deficit is not cyclical. You clearly don't know what cyclical means. It implies both high and low points within a reoccurring system. What you refer to is a repe ive occurrence.
I hope you can come back with something original and meaningful, not a partially digested empty phrase.
If not, I think this becomes the 5th thread I have chased you out of.
Echoing me again.
Try this one: O & 41!
It could easily happen, much the way my Bruins got humiliated: lose a star player, while the other team gets one back. That really changed the whole series.
If teams can lose a 3-1 lead, then I guess this is also possible. My bet is that this happens in Nowitzki's timeline.
give em cubby!
and in 1 week, O & 42!!
lmvicariousao!!
I'm heartened.
0 & 42 is just a chapter in the CLEANSING. Surely you can see it unfolding no? The Lakers are now being lined up to vanquish their last decades deamons all in one swoop on their run to the 16th le. Suns and Celts... How sweet! Well have to save Detroit for some other day when they are relevant again.
The basketball gods do truly love the Lakers. It's nice to be blessed!
That's not necessarily true. Go look in a dictionary please.
The only way I can see this happening is if a team loses its superstar in game 3 or something and then end up losing 4 straight.
Suns tried but could only blow 3-1 at best.
I don't even think a team down 0-3 has even forced a game 7 ever in NBA history. But it'll happen.
I came in here to ask just that!
lol there was one already mentioned in this thread....
lol 1st round exit
lol T-Mac
Btw I voted no. Don't think it'll ever happen.
