Rockets: Teams that have come back from a 3-1 deficit

[DMC]

Teams that have won a ring with Dwight Howard: 0

[Arcadian]

You forgot the Spurs in 2008. Hornets led 3-1 in round 2, right?

Edit: Nevermind...just looked it up. Spurs trailed 0-2, but then made it 2-2.

[Spurs and Mavs fan]

Sooner or later some NBA team will come back from 0-3 to win a series. I'd sure love for the Rockets to be the ones to do it, against OKC.

I think back in 2010 the Celtics were leading the Magic 3 games to none, then the Magic closed that to 3-2, but the Celtics finished the job in Game Six.

Boston avoided the broom this year from NY (last game). The Knicks will probably finish them off tonight, though, since they're playing at home. We'll just have to wait and see...

Still, Sonics in 5.

huh?

rockets should feel lucky & happy that they've already managed to avoid the broom tbh. you can say whatever you like as long as houston remains a US city but you must be fooling yourself if you seriously believe so. houston need to backdoor SWEEP OKC in order to qualify for the next round which's just impossible imho

Come on now, Houston isn't that bad, you're a so you should be able to understand where I'm coming from, right? At least they aren't finding hundreds of dead pigs in our rivers and telling us the water is still at a drinkable level, same as before.

2 series are ending today.

Bye bye KG have a nice life.

Harden will have an MJ flu game. except he'll lose and turn the ball over in the end.

Irrelevant; it's 3-1 now. Still, Sonics in 5.

Umm...that's not how that works.

I'm sure many of the teams who have gone down 0-3 won game 4. Doesn't change the fact that none of them have won the series.

Houston is still in the 3-0 hole until they either advance or get eliminated.

Teams don't often come back from 3-1 either, and they don't get that chance if they blow game 4 down 3-0. I don't see any reason the sequence of game results LLLW should be any more devastating for a team than is LLWL, LWLL, or WLLL. In any of the sequences you still have to win 3 straight.

In theory, yes. But if we are looking at it purely statistically, 0 teams have come back from a 0-3 deficit. Regardless of whether Houston manages to make it 3-2 or 3-3, it doesn't change the fact that they were, and are, still fighting that 0-3 percentage of 0%.

The thing about statistics is that they are a model: they are a representation of reality, not reality itself. Just because 0% of teams have come back from 0-3 doesn't make it impossible that the Rockets, or another team could do so...but once they've been labeled with that percentage, it will not change until they fully achieve the changing factor, and that would take winning the entire series.

I think it's kind of nonsensical that stuff like this is always hyped by the media, as if a team is fighting every 0-3 deficit in NBA history. Even worse is when they try to act like it's some shocker that team that win game 1 almost always win a series. Should be obvious that a team is much more likely to win a series when you condition on them being ahead of the other team in the series by 1 win. Same line of reasoning, Houston is only down 2 wins to OKC and not 3, so they're not fighting the 0-3 battle anymore.

it's just a matter of time before you yellow asses trash up everything in houston and make the city a of a place similar to where you immigrated from. and when that actually happens someday, you would move elsewhere just like you did a couple years/decades ago. mother ers are enjoying the freedom and welfare, and everything in this country but they never have any true love for this land and never will. they'll just go where grass is greener imho

wait, Houston is not a hole yet????

IMO the mexicans, whites and blacks have already taken care of that

Why does Houston have such civic pride? It's like everyone in Houston is proud of their hole city, like it's the New York of the bible belt.

One of the few. Your ass is probably on welfare and food stamps anyways.
