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

[Egg Nog]

I mean...

Teams have gone from down 3-0 to down 3-1...

Teams have come back from down 3-1...

Only a matter of time until it happens.

[NZB2323]

As long as the NBA is around we’ll eventually see it, but maybe not in our lifetimes. There had never been a 3-1 comeback in the finals until it happened.

Raptors in a few days

This would be the absolutely best thing ever.

[Cubbies2120]

You can parlay Sixers Celtics Warriors all to advance at -2000.

If you bet $2000 you win $100

Free money right?

if you only trust in the stats, yes it is a safe bet and you will win certainly.

Hmm...

benjamin simmons as number 1 option will write history and become all time great.

One question I don't know how to answer is how many teams have pushed a 0-3 to seven games and what percentage of teams down 0-3 have done so?

[dc]

In 2003 the Blazers came back from 3-0 against the Mavs to tie it at 3-3, but the Mavs won Game 7. Blazers were even up 2 at the end of the 3rd, but the Mavs outscored them by 14 in the 4th and won going away.

I think that's the closest we've seen.

[LukaTheGOAT]

We are going to see it this series with the Raptors vs Sixers series.

[SerialChiller]

I think so...Doc Rivers has been building up to making sure it happens for his whole career. He even took the extra measure of coaching Harden, I think he's put together a serious contender to finally do it now.

I still remember that vividly. The relief I felt after that fourth quarter was immense. It felt like Bonzi Wells was killing us in that series

If there's one coach who has it in him its definitely Doc. Not only that, but he'd act completely indignant if a reporter dared to ask a question which seemed critical of him afterwards. As though he's a top 10 coach of all time or something.

Yes, we've seen numerous 3-1 comebacks. A 3-0 comeback is just a 3-1 comeback where the winning team wins game 4 instead of game 1, 2, or (usually) 3.

I’ve often wondered how a team gets a 3-1 lead. Thanks for clarifying.

I ran some numbers and it checks out

Ben Simmons gonna shock the world

You know Simmons is going to scratch his pinky nail before the game and not play. That dudes been a str8 let down.

Ugh, seriously. I can't be the only one super annoyed by the constant Simmons fanfiction on here. People need to get the hell over it, this series is done. There's not gonna be any miraculous comeback and Simmons of all people sure as hell ain't going to cause one.

[GSP]

We'll see it eventually. With the 3ball revolution and injuries its gonna happen sooner than later. Look at all the 3-1 comebacks just in the past decade.

[JN61]

If we see one on this era on the losing side is probably Curry or Durant

[Knicks365247]

Raptors would be coming back from down 0-3 if not for FVV’s hip strain.

[GSP]

Fvv has been a dumpster fire all series and he was ass against Philly in 19 too. With a rim protector like Joel his little ass is useless since he cant drive, has no post or mid game and is a streaky af 3pt shooter. They won game 4 without him.....

[timO]

imagine Denver vs Pels, denver 3-0 and Jokic goes down and miss the series
