Will we ever see a 3-0 comeback in the NBA playoffs?

It would be a huge moment if that happens to the Raptors...Not as big as 2019 of course, but to be the first team in 75 years to win a series after being down 0-3 would be a historic moment in the NBA...I hope it will happen!

I give it a 50% chance of it happening in the Rap/Sixers series.

All the Raptors have to do is win two more games. Not that far fetched.

Probably closer to 15-20% but still a possibility for sure.

Let's see how Raptors do at home.
There's a longer rest period between game 5-6. And Joel was exhausted by the 4th quarter of game 5.

So I'm expecting him to be back with full energy, which is very dangerous

Yeah it's not far-fetched at all. With no FVV I think game 6 is a toss-up, and if Toronto wins, I give them about a 20% chance of winning game 7, so about a 10% chance of pulling it off.

Raptors will do it, Raps in 4... after the 0-3.

I think it’s going to happen. All the pressure is on the sixers.

We're bound to see one some time. Boy if the Raptors win their next game this could be the year.

Raptors going home for game 6 and Nurse known to be great at making adjustments as a series progresses.. what if.. ya never know.. history could be made.

We've never seen it before because you'd wonder how a team that won 3 in a row could not win 1 out of their next 4 games.

In Phillys case the only reason the series has shifted a bit is because Embiids thumb is messed up and the Raps have basically benefited from losing their smallest player on the court and going big (with Barnes return.)

It won't happen sorry fellas. History says it is impossible.
Philly can even play these next couple games just mailing it in, resting on this fact.
Congratulations on Philly for moving to the next round.

Would be weird to see both Top 2 MVP candidates lose in the first round. Jokic has the injured teammates excuse, while Embiid has that thumb injury.

Also getting Barnes back in Game4 has been great.

If this goes to a game 7 I give the raptors a 90% chance of winning game 7. Think how mentally drained the sixers would be. Think about who they have on their team. Think about how their home crowd will welcome them back home after being up 3-0 lol.

Game 6 is philly’s game 7. If they don’t win that they’re toast

As unlikely as it is for Toronto to win two more - fair to say many NBA fans are excited at the prospect of witnessing history lol

Also Gary Trent was sick for games 1 and 2. And Young had his thumb looking like it was dislocated too.

So no Barnes, sick Gary, injured Thad, and hobbled Fred was easy pickings for Philly and still almost lost game 3.

Barnes replacing Fred and healthy Gary made a big difference and Thad has been great off the bench. Harden and Maxey can't go after a hobbled small guy anymore. Every switch, they are still facing a good defender and most times, it's a bigger guy than themselves.

I do expect a dominant JE next game
