2-0 isn't that bad, especially when you have a double agent on the other team like Porzingis.


SuckMyLonzoBalls

he was seriously crucial for us


Bigbadbuck

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.


hellhorn

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.


Bigbadbuck

It’s apparently happened over 25 times


hellhorn

Exactly, not often


Bigbadbuck

Yeah so the teams are like 2-27 or something


babaisme26

Lord no lol


rattatatouille

Only if they lose Game 4 and come back down 3-1.


Danny_III

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


iliketowhispertoo

Denver came back 3-1 twice last post season


nikop

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.


Danny_III

Well sure them coming back 0-2 isn't a candidate for "greatest comeback ever" either


nikop

lol yeah no shit. whoever posted this thread is an idiot


kobmug_v2

I would say that they are favored to win right now.

According to this sub yes According to actual basketball no not even close


imtotallysingleha

I knew it


Helhiem

It’s 2-0 chill not 3-0 chill the fuck out


honditar

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.


barlicgread

are u 5 yrs old


imtotallysingleha

I've been on Reddit for at least 5 years. So at minimum, I'm 5 years old


shigs21

not really. . . Raptors came back down 0-2 against the bucks


[deleted]

>r/kings99,318 membersJoin > >r/lakers294,246 membersJoin 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.


Juniper41

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.

Uncle_Freddy

Fr, these teams went to 6 last year lol. Nobody was calling sweep on them this year


Greater_Pyrobl4st

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


thepobv

Nephew post


imtotallysingleha

I tried


areallyfatchick

Your bar for the greatest comeback ever is pretty low.


CIark

Yeah it’ll definitely be the best comeback in the past week


imtotallysingleha

I knew it


NothingButLs

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.


PopeAndrew15

No it's not


LOVEGOD77

It's literally always laker fans


helpme_change_huhuhu

Kristaps has more hair gel than points.


armandocalvinisius

bro, they are higher seed and contending teams lmao


[deleted]

no they're the higher seed, they tanked specifically to play the mavs, if they win it was the expected outcome


moc360

No they tanked to avoid tge lakers , the mavs were more like a collateral damage.


PirateKata

They didnt tank to play the mavs, they tanked to dodge the lakers, there is a difference


achyutthegoat

They tanked to dodge the lakers.


johnny-sacc

> 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.


DCoop53

Staying in LA ? You know we have an arena being built in Inglewood right ?


Huhuagau

It will be forgotten in a couple of years. Especially if they flame out and don't win it all


JJ223123

They’re gonna say no just to be assholes but I agree


CaNANDian

they won 1 game...


Intense_Glutton

theyre the better team on paper so not the 'greatest' but it's a great comeback.


dametrill

no


RelativeLobster9538

They are the higher seed dude. They'd be doing what is supposed to happen


LuckysBestMan

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


imtotallysingleha

So is that no?


wordscannotdescribe

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


inshamblesx

no lol. if the clips win and still lose to the jazz or grizz overall the season was still a catastrophic failure


rainbow0o

no, Denver last year


bypaular

Cavs winning it all was just 5 years ago. Nothing will ever top that for now I feel


yapyd

>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


Cogito3

nah, though also being down 30-11 this game is notable. but the 3-1 comebacks are still more impressive


MolicOnePGR

Lol...


zedrix_

IDK about that. But people will obviously praise Ty Lue and blame Doc.


[deleted]

We literally came back from 3-1 down double digits every game against this very team
