    This game is on the 24th in the USA, however it will be on April 25th in Australia, and New Zealand. ANZAC Day.

    I would like to take a moment to remember those "who served and died in all wars, conflicts, and peacekeeping operations" and "the contribution and suffering of all those who have served".

    I know teams have won series after being down 3-1.

    Has any team won a series after being down 3-0?
    I guess I could look it up but it doesn't matter because it's about to happen! Meyers is going to turn into Hakeem Laimbeer, go for 30 and 15 and we're going to shock the world!

    (This prozac-viagra-marijuana cocktail is pretty good.)

    Nope, but the Blazers came back to 3-3 and forced a game 7 vs the Mavericks

    No but two teams came close. 1994 Nuggets, who rallied from 0-2 in first round best of 5," rallied from 0-3 down to the Utah Jazz in second round to tie the series 3-3. And the 2003 Trail Blazers rallied from 0-3 to the Dallas Mavericks to force Game 7 and a had a lead in the fourth quarter. And that Dallas team was good (Dirk, Nash, Finley, Van Exel). They ultimately made the WCF, then lost Dirk to injury and still almost made the NBA Finals were it not for Steve Kerr's clutch shooting for the Spurs in Game 6.

    Other 0-3 history: Two years ago, the Bucks came back from 0-3 to force a 6th game. This was also done by the Knicks vs the Celtics and by the Rockets vs the Thunder a few years ago. Orlando did it in the 2010 ECF I think. And of course, in baseball, the Red Sox came back from 0-3 against the Yankees.

    It hasn't been done but it's not as daunting as it seems in my opinion. Here's the map:

    Step 1-- Win game 4. Simple as that. Win a home game.
    Step 2-- Win for a chance to play at home for your fans again.
    Step 3-- Win a home game to tie the series and make history.
    Step 4-- Game 7. Anything can happen.

    What makes it daunting is how bad we are without Nurkic.

    I would rather go out at oracle not at home. Want my team to win but reality is golden state is just that good and dame and cj are barely getting help. I just am looking forward to off-season, getting nurkic healthy and hopefully getting rid of some guys, building around our three.

    When the score is 0-4, KingSpeed is going to find some obscure reference to when some team in a fantasy land lost a series but was able to advance because the other team decided to quit playing and leave the league.

    Keep on believing!

    Is someone suggesting we can come back and win this series?

    I'm hoping this is the last time I see Meyers Leonar_ in a Blazer uniform.

    Why Not? Lets at least match last years 1-3 record. Their bench players are strong contributors. McGee and Iguodala are kickin our reserves asses. D. Green is a monster. I am sure Nurk is done. Time for Meyers Leonard to be supreme. Can ET become his dollar value or will he lose the ball when trapped and miss free throws at critical moments?
