Believe Harder: coming back from 0-3 (1 Viewer)

[KingSpeed]

In 1996, the Bulls were up 2-0 in Finals and then went to Seattle and destroyed them in Game 3. Everyone thought it would be a sweep but the Sonics blew out the Bulls in the next two games. Last year, both the Rockets and Celtics came back from 0-3 to force a Game 6 as well. If we can just a force a Game 6, I will come to Portland for the game and Lillard will hit the game winner. Anything is possible in Game 7.

Sorry

Blazers aren't good enough

That's what they said about Denver in 1994. Seattle, which went 63-19 during the regular season, blew out the Nuggets in Games 1 and 2. Everyone said it was a done deal. But then the Nuggets won three straight and the series. It happens. It's the fucking NBA Playoffs. Where amazing happens!

Were the Red Sox not good enough after the Yankees hammered them three times? Red Sox won the next four and the series.

And, IIRC, they got hammered in the 3rd game... something like 14-7 or something.

Anything is possible, but we can only worry about game 4.

By the way, I played Game 4 on my PS4 and we won by 20.

Youve made me a believer brother

Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?

Yanks won 3rd Game 19-8. Red Sox gave every team that ever gets down 3-0 in a series while being totally dominated some hope. We need a spark, similar to when a guy named Zack Randolph came off the bench vs Dallas in 2003. Maybe CJ can be that guy. The bench needs scoring, and he can fill it up. It's a reach, but nobody thought Z-Bo was capable of doing what he did either.

Well, I got the doubled up part right on the score. lol.

Yeah. It's a lot easier for it to happen in baseball with no clock. Basketball you have SO many factors at play.

It's never been done but one day, it will happen. I remember when no 8 seed had ever won. Eventually, it happens and history is made. We almost did it in 2003. Let's do it this time. We can beat these guys. Go Blazers!!

I will believe when I see Aldridge show up. Until he can dominate the post, we have zero shot at winning.

This is true. It's not so much that he's staying out of the post, it's that he can't even make a layup or a dunk in this series. It's almost like he has a case of the nerves, or he's pressing.

Um you have to believe BEFORE it happens. Anyone can believe after it happens. There's nothing to "believe" anymore. It's right in front of your face.

Truth. Hebrews 11:1--"Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen."

I highly recommend Square Mile, its a Portland product. The have a "hopped" version that ties down the sweetness a bit without being sour.
