good morning, believers.

today’s guard hour might have nova pope tap in with a blessing and forgiveness of sins.

we will need it. for hell on earth is upon us.

We’re going to need the pope to undo Donte’s excommunication this offseason

just finished today's first guard hour. it's been addressed.

nova pope will advocate to make this right.

white smoke will be back.

[Jeff Van Gully]

Sounding like a man who has earned some job security. I'm still on the fence but run it back old man! You've done a much better job so far in the playoffs.

Refs assignments for this game?

Nice choices by Silver. This should be a very fair and evenly officiated game.

gillie da kid, pat riley, and paul pierce?

KAT like, "NOW WHO FOULED ME?!"

I asked AI and this is what it told me...

"In NBA playoff history, across all rounds, there have been 463 series where a team took a 2-0 lead. Of those, only 34 teams have come back from an 0-2 deficit to win the series, resulting in a 7.3% success rate.[](https://www.yardbarker.com/nba/articles/only_73_of_nba_teams_have_recovered_from_a_0_2_deficit_in_the_playoffs_lakers_suns_and_76ers_in_trouble/s1_16751_40274821)

For series specifically **after the opening round** (i.e., Conference Semifinals, Conference Finals, and NBA Finals), the data is more limited but still insightful. According to a post on X, in the Conference Semifinals alone, there have been 117 instances of a team going down 0-2, with only 8 teams coming back to win, yielding a 6.8% success rate. Additionally, broader data from recent analyses indicates that comebacks from 0-2 deficits in later rounds are rare, with notable examples including the 2016 Cleveland Cavaliers in the NBA Finals and the 2024 Indiana Pacers in the Conference Semifinals.

While exact numbers for all post-opening round series combined (Semifinals, Finals, and Conference Finals) are not explicitly detailed in the sources, the general trend suggests a slightly lower probability than the overall 7.3% due to the increased competitiveness in later rounds. Based on the Conference Semifinals data (6.8%) and the rarity of such comebacks in the Finals (only 5 instances in history, per), a reasonable estimate for series after the opening round would be approximately **6-7%**.

Thus, the percentage of NBA playoff series after the opening round where a team has come back from a 2-0 deficit to win is likely around **6-7%**. For a precise figure, further data on Conference Finals and Finals would be needed, but this range aligns with available evidence.[](https://www.yardbarker.com/nba/articles/only_73_of_nba_teams_have_recovered_from_a_0_2_deficit_in_the_playoffs_lakers_suns_and_76ers_in_trouble/s1_16751_40274821)"

How many came back after losing the first two games on their own home court is what I'd like to know.

I actually think this might be a higher percentage of comebacks - because the home team is the higher seed and therefore usually the better team. despite losing home court advantage.

If Denver knocks off OKC and Indy knocks of Cleveland ...even clearer.

[RHODEY]

I’m kinda nervous go on an early run, hit them hard defensively, then own the mid-range in the second half. Feed the KAT in the third.

I'm nervous as hell. This is the most unpredictable game I can recall. It really could go any way.

A bridges offensive explosion would be nice. See him hit a ton of those midranges. They are gonna pay a ton of attention to Brunson, KAT and then OG.

Im looking for explosion from our "others" like Deuce and or Cam Payne...
