But if we somehow made the finals, there 3 days breaks between the first 3 or 4 games I believe.

Can't help but wonder if Lebron has his eye on being the oldest FMVP.

(Already looked. Kareem, 38 years 54 days in 85.)

After last night, I wish I have the same optimism as you guys. Still hopeful but I’m not holding my breath.

 

[grittyman]

Not saying the Lakers will win 4 straight games BUT all I got from from these first two losses is that the Lakers were in position to steal one, and Denver handled their business at home.

Don’t get the doom and gloom scenario after two road games but maybe that’s just me. I’ll start to worry if they lose game 3 at home.

We’ll win game 3 and game 4 is real possible

I’m having trouble seeing how we can win 4 of the next 5 with how tired Lebron looks

Nba script wild. Lakers and Celtics come back from 0-2 in the conference finals to face each other in the finals going 7 games.

 

[Brosizzlew30.23]

Not looking good for the Lakers when it's easier to do this

To make matters worse, both LAL and BOS down 0-2 with rookie head coaches.

Every game in this series from here on out must be treated by Bron and AD like a game 7. If the leaders don't play with that urgency, their role player teammates will fold.

Sitting here on a Friday night watching Lonnie shedding tears on backstage

Hope we bring him back

I watched it after the game and I feel the same way.

I hope and pray we can bring him back. That was a hell of a story.

Bron teams down 0-2:
#1: 2006 Eastern semifinals.
(4) Cavs lose to (1) Pistons in 7.
Down 0-2, won 3 in a row, lost 6 in CLE & 7 in DET.
(0-1)

#2. 2007 Eastern finals
(2) Cavs beat (1) Pistons in 6.
Down 0-2, won 4 straight.
(1-1)

#3. 2007 NBA Finals
(1) Cavs lose to (3) Spurs in 4.
One of the worst Finals I've ever seen.
(1-2)

#4. 2008 Eastern semifinals
(4) Cavs lose to (1) Celtics in 7.
Home team won every game.
(1-3)

#5. 2016 NBA Finals
(1) Cavs beat (1) Warriors in 7.
Down 0-2, won game 3 in CLE, lost game 4 in CLE to go down 1-3. Won 6 in CLE & 7 in GSW (chase down block & Kyrie 3).
Bron averaged a triple double.
(2-3)

#6. 2017 NBA Finals
(2) Cavs lose to (1) Warriors in 5.
They added Cupcake.
Down 0-3, won 4 in CLE, lost 5 in GSW.
(2-4)

#7. 2018 Eastern finals
(4) Cavs beat (2) Celtics in 7.
Down 0-2 in BOS, won 3 & 4 in CLE, got trashed game 5 in BOS, won 6 in CLE & 7 in BOS.
Home team won every game... except game 7 in BOS.
(3-4)

So he has had teams where they were down 0-2 as the lower seed and forced game 7 on the road... and won.

And he has been on a lower seeded team down 0-2... and won 4 straight. I mean that was 15 years ago but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Facts. If we lose this game, sure, but we still have a chance. We’ve been able to stop Jokic in the 4th. If we can minimize Murray, we’re good.

 

[oh you mad]

Lakers in 7

 

[Rockabilly Zombie]

Game day fellas!

 

[thasoleful1]

Home cooking, hopefully offense goes off. Defensively we did okay for 3 quarters last game, lakers been getting whatever they want on offense. Gonna need AD and Bron to show up.

 

[tupac003]

Just win tonight....please.

I'll be in the man cave. The Jacuzzi session will be better if we win...

 

[Brosizzlew30.23]

Backs against the wall.

Must win.

All the clichés are out.

Postseason starts tonight.
