    2014 Spurs were down 1-2 to Mavs. 2015 Warriors were down 1-2 to Grizzlies and to Cavs. 2016 Cavs were down 1-3 to Warriors.

    Rockets are not even down vs Jazz.:rolleyes: Just need to take game 3 in Utah and Rockets are back to similar situation vs T-Wolves.

    If we go down 2-1 I expect us to be down 2-1 vs the Warriors. Not the Jazz, who we swept in the regular season.

    Exactly, we're not even down vs the Jazz so why did you make this thread? Are you bracing yourself for a game 3 L? GTFO.

    It's hard to beat any NBA team six consecutive times, especially a pretty good team like this year's Jazz.

    It's even harder when the refs inexplicably have it in for your superstar.

    We'll be fine, just get Brothers and Foster over to someone else's series.

    We were one of the best road teams in NBA history this year. We just have to steal one game in Utah to have the home court advantage again.

    2013 Miami Heat were down 2-3
    2012 Miami Heat were down 2-3 and 1-2 in separate series
    2011 Dallas Mavericks were down 1-2
    2010 Los Angeles Lakers were down 2-3


    We got Harden. All those teams had Kobe, Duncan, Dirk or LeBron. And Curry I guess. Can Harden replicate the same magic?

    All these people who've never seen a playoff series in their lives need to stop posting on Clutchfans
    Go to ESPN or buy some new playstation games

    There's not many championship teams who've swept the playoffs

    all these people who think the series is over need to stop watching basketball
    this sport is not for you

    THE 90s Championship teams suffered some HORRIFIC LOSSES. This is nothing but a wake up call to give the Jazz the respect they deserve.

    I’d rather be down 2-1 vs the Jazz.

    I'm not worried about being 1-1 in this series. The first thing I thought of last night was the 67-15 Warriors in 2015 being down 2-1 to the Grizzlies in the Semifinals. What I AM concerned about is that we're 7 games into the postseason and we do not look very good. Harden and Capela can't do this all by themselves. CP3 has to show up every night. EG has to show up period. And the defense cannot take off entire quarters.
