    NBA series question (50 points to best answers)
    I don't think any NBA team up 3-0 has lost a playoff series.

    How many times has a team been up 3-0?
    Of those times, how many did it win 4-2? Or 4-3?

      91 teams have been up 3-0.
      Zero have come back to win down 3-0.
      9 times the team up 3-0 won in 6.
      3 times the team up 3-0 won in 7.

        I dont care what any1 says. The magic will be the first nba team to come back from a 3 0 series and give boston the worst sports year in any cities history. End of story. Point me.

          91 times.


          Two teams in NBA history have forced a game 7 coming back from 3-0... Portland against the Mavericks in the first round of 2003 and Denver against Utah in the 1994 Western Conference Finals. Both came up short in the come back effort

          Not sure about 4-2

                  The correct answer is: it's irrelevant from a betting perspective. The statistic that matters, if at all, is how often a team down 3-2 in a series has won two straight. [Of course this doesn't matter, what matters is the game 6 line and the best guess of the potential game 7 line].

                    Anybody knows how many times the higher seed team down 2-3 won the series in history? I think that is the most relevant info.

                      I guess 91 times a team has been up 3-0 was not important....

                          Even with editing, he was the first to answer everything... but I'll give Holt a bit for honorable mention.

                                  If you're going to cry about me giving away points because you didn't answer the question, at least answer all parts so people can cry with you.

                                    I answered as much of the question as anyone else ....I just didn't steal anyone else's answers

                                    And for the record....on Mike and Mike this morning...it was announced there have been 95 teams have been up 3-0 in an nba playoffs series.....I stole the aforementioned 91 from a separate forum I dug up...

                                          tealish I am undefeated in forum arguments...34-0...do not start with me...

                                          not only did I disprove sunde91 for stealing my answer of 91-0......editing his incomplete answer right after I postednice try..I have also closed the book on the question

                                          I verified the correct answer was in fact 93-0 through espn.com, msnbc.com ,covers.com, statfox.com, etc....

                                          if results are foolish I am the captain of the fool plane

                                          tealish it is the principle of the contest...i look to defend the purity...

                                          as for justin7 stiffing me...i think it is obvious to see that I did in fact give the correct answer..as verified.. even with the whole forum against me and my answers being stolen...but 93-0

                                              I would be more than will to remove the "Justin7 stiffed me" from my signature if he would ante up the 50 points...55 now....I think I have more than earned them with my "Hardy Boys" work ethic.....

                                              Just the fact that Sunda edited his post 6 minutes after mine should show the facts.....i could have easily copy and pasted his link along with my 91-0...and ate up all of the points...but i have integrity...I figured we would both be rewarded....

                                              tealish it is a cold world out there..and guys like justin7..they don't make it any easier for the good guys...

                                                Holt,

                                                1) The total number of teams up 3-0 was the least significant stat of the 3 requested. The point is that the number is substantial and that zero have ever come back down 3-0.
                                                2) You only knew 2/3 of the teams that made it to game 7.
                                                3) You knew none of the teams that made it to game 6.
                                                4) You didn't post a source.
                                                5) So why are you acting like I "stole your work" when I: A) Posted first B) Posted more and more significant stats.
                                                6) Cry more.
                                                7) You were compensated.
                                                8) You still cried more
                                                9) You lose.
                                                10) Thanks Justin.
