Pelicans choked the game away. So sad how they all forgot how to rebound in the fourth and overtime.

 

[ZeroMaverick]

Damn.

 

[GamerSoul]

Great win for GS. They're showing resilience.

 

[CherryWoodFuton]

See see see it's not just Miami fans!!!!


What an epic choke by the Pelicans.

 

[darkwing-buck]

What a choke job. I blame the coaching.

 

[perfectchaos007]

So many series look to be sweeps at this point. yawn

 

[Gully State]

Down by 20 and up against Lawler's law...

 

[Lee Chaolan]

RIPelicans

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

Eric Gordon deserves to suffer, he's a Hoosier after all.

 

[slightconfuse]

Monty better reached them how to rebound ASAP

 

[MetalFearSolid]

Pelicans done no way you come back from this, after having game just taken from under you.

 

[UnObtainium17]

Lead by 20 in the 4th and then lose at OT lol.

 

[random25]

Pelicans choked hard. Guess that's it for them this year.

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

Pelicans done no way you come back from this

Don't go that far out on that limb, dude.

 

[Mxrz]

Crazy game.

Monty Williams failed hard.

 

[ZeroMaverick]

I'm interested to see how they do against Memphis because these games with NOLA have been fairly close.

 

[Andrew Korenchkin]

That was a thrilling game regardless. Well done both teams.

 

[ThisOne]

Pelicans lose game 4 by 15+. Calling it now.

I don't think anyone in their right mind wants to play Memphis in the playoffs.

 

[Stat Flow]

Man. That game was crazy. Steph...good god

 

[NoctisVsStar]

BBQ chicken baby

 

[Chezzymann]

Does Steve Kerr look kind of like Neil Patrick Harris a little to anyone else?

 

[Gully State]

eager to hear Chuck's thoughts here..

 

[Rainy]

Steph man....steph....as a GS fan I can't believe it. (And then I kinda can at the same time.)

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

Does Steve Kurr look kind of like Neil Patrick Harris a little to anyone else?

He looks like a lot of people, that is one of them.

KERR GODDAMMIT

 

[UnObtainium17]

eager to hear Chuck's thoughts here..

Rebounds, experience, points in the paint, defense, box out...


I kept on watching even Pells lead by 20 bevause i just got that feeling GS can catch up. And they did.

 

[Big Baybee]

I ain't even mad. Just happy AD and Monty got to the playoffs with that team.

I'll saved this post when I put in my bet in Vegas this weekend

 

[Trey]

Easily a Pelicans loss. Get a board. The sweep is assured.

 

[ZeroMaverick]

What is it? Teams that go up 3-0 have 100% chance of winning the series?

 

[Chezzymann]

What is it? Teams that go up 3-0 have 100% chance of winning the series?

I dont think any team has ever came back from 3-0

 

[LyleLanley]

Celtics in 7.

 

[Major Gripex]

That was such an awesome game. GG.

 

[NoctisVsStar]

Celtics in 7.

Give me whatever you having.

 

[sf2fanatic]

I dont think any team has ever came back from 3-0

In basketball probably not

 

[Trey]

What is it? Teams that go up 3-0 have 100% chance of winning the series?

that's not how probability works. Just say that no team has come back from three down.

 

[Fjordson]

We won?? Da fuck. I left in the second quarter for dinner..I'll take it!

That first half was embarrassing, though.

 

[LyleLanley]

Give me whatever you having.

I am drunk but that has nothing to do with this.

 

[Gully State]

For once I agree with chuck ...

 

[Hyperactivity]

I dont think any team has ever came back from 3-0

According to wikipedia when it comes to any best of 7 series (and the conferences that use them)

Only in six instances has a team been able to come back from being down 0–3 to win a series:

The Toronto Maple Leafs vs. the Detroit Red Wings in the 1942 Stanley Cup Finals
The New York Islanders vs. the Pittsburgh Penguins in the 1975 Stanley Cup Quarterfinals
The Boston Red Sox vs. the New York Yankees in the 2004 American League Championship Series
The Philadelphia Flyers vs. the Boston Bruins in the 2010 Stanley Cup Eastern Conference Semifinals
The Los Angeles Kings vs. the San Jose Sharks in the 2014 Stanley Cup Western Conference Quarterfinals
SKA St. Petersburg vs. CSKA Moscow in the 2015 Gagarin Cup Western Conference Finals
Mike Richards and Jeff Carter are the only players to have been a part of two come backs from being down 0-3, having played for both the 2010 Philadelphia Flyers and the 2014 Los Angeles Kings.

Additionally, the following eight teams were able to force a seventh game in a series after being down 0–3, subsequently losing it:

The New York Rangers vs. the Boston Bruins in the 1939 Stanley Cup Semifinals
The Detroit Red Wings vs. the Toronto Maple Leafs in the 1945 Stanley Cup Finals
The New York Knicks vs. the Rochester Royals in the 1951 NBA Finals
The New York Islanders vs. the Philadelphia Flyers in the 1975 Stanley Cup Semifinals
The Denver Nuggets vs. the Utah Jazz in the 1994 NBA Western Conference Semifinals
The Portland Trail Blazers vs. the Dallas Mavericks in the 2003 NBA Western Conference First Round
The Chicago Blackhawks vs. the Vancouver Canucks in the 2011 Stanley Cup Western Conference Quarterfinals
The Detroit Red Wings vs. the San Jose Sharks in the 2011 Stanley Cup Western Conference Semifinals

So yeah, it has never happened and has only gone to Game Seven thrice

 

[Afrikan]

It would be a huge upgrade.

You missed a hell of a finish man.

Oh man your boy Curry just had a superstar MVP type moment.

 

[Fjordson]

Yeah, shit is crazy lol.

I was at dinner with the wife and had my phone on airplane mode, but I turned it off on the way back and had like 10 texts from friends and a bunch of notifications from my Bleacher Report app about the game.

 

[WesternHeretic]

We should just abolish the first round of the NBA playoffs. Yea... yea I know we are losing games but c'mon this shit is 3-0 across the board except for Clips/Spurs.

 

[BadAss2961]

lol at Grant Hill getting hit in the head.

 

[MetalFearSolid]

It would be a huge upgrade.

I don't know if it is huge heck I don't even know if it is an upgrade.

 

[UnObtainium17]

I think Bulls will beat Cavs in a series.
