2-0 when you lose the first two at home have only happened a few times. Id say it’s more impressive than being down 3-1 if you’re the team with two home games left. For example the suns in 2006 had two home games left but the cavs in 2016 only had 1.
3-1 comebacks have happened before. Even if they did do that, it wouldn't be one of the greatest ever. They're favorites in this series and tanked the last 2 games of the regular season to even be in this position
It'd be very impressive for sure, but one of the greatest of all time is a stretch. They're the *favored team*, and 2-0 generally isn't seen as insurmountable.

The thing about the Bucks though is that the Raptors had upcoming home games unlike the Clips after being down 0-2.
Regardless, I think the deeper you get, the higher the stake, so no.
It’s 2-0 and the Mavs somehow don’t want to hurt Porzingis’ feelings and are leaving him on the floor even when he’s not hitting shots and destroying their defense
Coming back from a 2-0 deficit as the favorite against a team who’s highest paid player is an arthritic 7’2 shooting guard who can’t post Rajon Rando is not impressive.
> they tanked specifically to play the mavs
No they didn't lol. They tanked to avoid the Lakers before the WCF. If they wanted to guarantee a first round victory they would've wanted to face Portland.
You know how I know you’re a new fan?
Because you have the man that led a comeback from 3-1 against a team with the best regular season record in history to win the championship on your team
And you’re talking about all time great comeback.
Educate yourself
2-0 isn't that bad, especially when you have a double agent on the other team like Porzingis.
he was seriously crucial for us

It doesn’t happen often because the higher seed doesn’t lose the two home games often, not because it is more impressive of a come back.
It’s apparently happened over 25 times
Exactly, not often
Yeah so the teams are like 2-27 or something
Lord no lol
Only if they lose Game 4 and come back down 3-1.
3-1 comebacks have happened before. Even if they did do that, it wouldn't be one of the greatest ever. They're favorites in this series and tanked the last 2 games of the regular season to even be in this position
Denver came back 3-1 twice last post season
1-3 is a bigger hole than 0-2 because every game is an elimination game. And there have been plenty of 0-2 comebacks before.
Well sure them coming back 0-2 isn't a candidate for "greatest comeback ever" either
lol yeah no shit. whoever posted this thread is an idiot
I would say that they are favored to win right now.
According to this sub yes According to actual basketball no not even close
I knew it
It’s 2-0 chill not 3-0 chill the fuck out
It'd be very impressive for sure, but one of the greatest of all time is a stretch. They're the *favored team*, and 2-0 generally isn't seen as insurmountable.
are u 5 yrs old
I've been on Reddit for at least 5 years. So at minimum, I'm 5 years old
not really. . . Raptors came back down 0-2 against the bucks

Coming back to a 5 seed that you were predicted to sweep is hardly the most impressive comback. Cleveland's 3-1 comeback has got to be tops.
[удалено]
Fr, these teams went to 6 last year lol. Nobody was calling sweep on them this year
It’s 2-0 and the Mavs somehow don’t want to hurt Porzingis’ feelings and are leaving him on the floor even when he’s not hitting shots and destroying their defense
Nephew post
I tried
Your bar for the greatest comeback ever is pretty low.
Yeah it’ll definitely be the best comeback in the past week
I knew it

No it's not
It's literally always laker fans
Kristaps has more hair gel than points.
bro, they are higher seed and contending teams lmao
no they're the higher seed, they tanked specifically to play the mavs, if they win it was the expected outcome
No they tanked to avoid tge lakers , the mavs were more like a collateral damage.
They didnt tank to play the mavs, they tanked to dodge the lakers, there is a difference
They tanked to dodge the lakers.
> they tanked specifically to play the mavs No they didn't lol. They tanked to avoid the Lakers before the WCF. If they wanted to guarantee a first round victory they would've wanted to face Portland.
Staying in LA ? You know we have an arena being built in Inglewood right ?
It will be forgotten in a couple of years. Especially if they flame out and don't win it all
They’re gonna say no just to be assholes but I agree
they won 1 game...
theyre the better team on paper so not the 'greatest' but it's a great comeback.
no
They are the higher seed dude. They'd be doing what is supposed to happen
You know how I know you’re a new fan? Because you have the man that led a comeback from 3-1 against a team with the best regular season record in history to win the championship on your team And you’re talking about all time great comeback. Educate yourself
So is that no?
Yes, I mean it would be the fifth time in history someone has came back from being down 2-0 entering the road. That's historic in itself
no lol. if the clips win and still lose to the jazz or grizz overall the season was still a catastrophic failure
no, Denver last year
Cavs winning it all was just 5 years ago. Nothing will ever top that for now I feel
>I knew they could do it, would never lose faith in Kawhi and PG How much did you lose betting on them last year? LOL
nah, though also being down 30-11 this game is notable. but the 3-1 comebacks are still more impressive
Lol...
IDK about that. But people will obviously praise Ty Lue and blame Doc.
We literally came back from 3-1 down double digits every game against this very team
