No NBA team has ever come back from down 3-0 to win a playoff series.
The Rockets were down 3-0 to the Lakers in their first round series and have won two games in a row to force a game 6 back in Houston. Houston is currently favoured by 3.5 points in game 6.
Can the Rockets do the unthinkable and come back from down 3-0?
Yes14.3%
No14.3%
The Rockets should never be trusted14.3%

I like the conspiracy theory that the Lakers lost these games on purpose in order to give Luka more time to recover before Round 2
Wouldn't that depend on how long the other series go as well, which they can't control.
Better safe than sorry. Also, an OKC sweep was basically inevitable.
That's true. I was thinking they would face the Spurs but that's only if TWolves win.
It’s a bracket. They always were going into the OKC meat grinder.
Stupid brackets.
I hadn’t heard this, but I like it
Ya know they seem to be winning if Cruz is in attendance..... so I guess we need Ted at the game
#BreakTheCruzCurse
How often does he go?
I know he went to the one when we were down 3-0 but I am not sure if he was at the last game.
Did I ever tell you my Ted Cruz story? And how my liberal neighbour was aghast that we travelled to Texas and said she would never and then just uttered "Ted Cruz" in a high pitched shrill.
Omg no what was it!?!
That was it. My former neighbour (we have since moved) here in Canada was shocked and appalled that we travelled to Texas and the way she expressed her reasoning for why she would never set foot in Texas was to say "Ted Cruz".
I was trying to explain to her how nice and kind everyone was especially after my wife's mom died and how all the neighbours were checking on my father in law and brining food, helping with yard work etc and she was having none of it, it was like I was telling her Nazis were good people. She just stiffened up like a board and in a shrill voice said "No. Ted Cruz"
Did you tell her that Texans are very fine people?
Pretty much. Imagine how she would react now that Trump is President again. Biden was in office at that point.
My only gripe with Texans is they don't walk their dogs. They just let the dog hang out in the yard. In the span of 3 months I think I saw one person walking a dog and I went for a long walk daily.
Also portion sizes are way too big.
The two things coupled together might explain why so many Texans are obese.
I’ll certainly defend Texans against a Canadian but between us, most Americans don’t like them either.
LMAO obviously this is all part of lakers master plan!!
Of course. They are delaying for Luka's return.
We need a market with decent liquidity for this
What do you consider decent liquidity?
10k sats minimum
There's a first for everything, but the odds are against them.
Yes, I just made a very meaningless comment, which makes me perfect to be a sports commentator.
You forgot to tell someone that they need to step up.
1.2% chance a team comes back from down 3-0 to win a playoff series based on all instances in NBA, NHL, MLB. Happened the most in NHL but NBA is only league where it has never happened. I think probably because home court advantage is more pronounced in NBA than in the other sports.
NBA home teams win 62% of time
NHL home teams win 59% of time
MLB home teams win 54% of time
Not possible, Lakers would come back to win
