At this point in the NBA, nothing seems scarier than handing the Clippers an 0-2 hole to dig themselves out of.
They were down 0-2 and 3-2 to the Mavericks. They came back and won the series in 7. They were down 0-2 to the Jazz and then they ripped off four straight wins to go to the Conference Finals for the first time ever.
After the Valley-Oop in Game 2 against the Suns, it was the same song. Down 0-2. And, to add a cherry on top, they had no Kawhi Leonard.
Clearly, that’s no problem for the Clips. They absolutely dominated the Suns in Game 3 with a 106-92 lead. It’ll be hard to complete this comeback against this team, but NBA fans know if any team can do it, it’s these Clippers.
They’re calling the Clippers — down 0-2 specifically — one of the greatest teams they’ve ever seen and it’s absolutely hilarious.
But…it also feels kind of true?
