.....When a team is down 0-3

Considering that no team has ever come back from a 0-3 deficit, is this not the biggest money grab in all of sports to play a game when a team has a 0 percent chance of winning a series...:dahell:

There's absolutely no upside to playing such meaningless game:shaq2:

coaches/players look ridiculous out there acting as if they really might come back at that point:aicmon:


If a team is down 3-0 we need to call it a skunk and just move on instead of dragging it out with the charades while risking unnecessary player injury.

Just imagine if Lebron got injured in a game 4 and the Pacers came back in won that series

Y'all really willing to risk this level of fukkery for something that's more meaninglessness than a regular season game?:ld:

Y'all must have reading comprehension problems because I clearly said in the OP to do away with close out games when a team is down 0-3...

No, but let me amend my quote to satisfy.

:gucci: Say this when TWO TEAMS in the last 25 seasons (three teams in league history) have forced a game 7 after being down 0-3 and proving it's a possibility to do so, brehs. Say this when five teams in total in the last 20 made it a series by at least forcing a game 6, brehs.

It's the NBA, where ANYTHING can happen. Nothing is certain until the clock runs out and even then fukkery can still take place.

Again...

How many teams in the last 50 years have come back and won a series being down 3-0??

We should keep it for the Finals/ Conference finals
But 1st/2nd round of the playoffs it's pretty pointless

You never asked how many won, just how many came back from down 0-3. And I answered your question with three.

And with how many teams have choked away a series RECENTLY there's no reason to not go the full 7 games, all things considered.

Answer to this would be to just go back to a best-of-5 for the first round, so at 3-0 its over.....:yeshrug:

by that logic, the Jazz would've just upset the Clips 3-2 and there would be no chance of Doc leading a comeback :lolbron:
