It's official. Clippers have largest 4th quarter playoff comeback in NBA history

[Clippersfan86]

I know we talked about it in threads a bit and speculated. It's officially being recognized as a record. Previous high was 21 points by Boston vs NJ in 2002 playoffs. Clippers came back from down 24 in 4th, 27 overall.

Agree. I feel like the biggest dipshit for giving up on this game... but who the hell would expect a 27 point comeback vs an elite/great team? As I said... I'm truly humbled by this game. Which is why I'm not trolling anybody or talking trash at all despite this game.

Thank you sir. I never thought the Clippers could be a team setting ANY sort of record outside of records of failure. I lived to see the day. Let's just hope there is a lot more to come :cheers: .

It was entertaining as hell, I had it playing in the background.
Then I hear the commentators saying how the Clippers score, Clippers score, Clippers score, Clippers score... so I just tuned back in... :D

[sagr32]

19 I believe.No way that was in the 4th. When the Lakers held their 24 pt lead it was like mid 2nd quarter and Boston had it in single digits by the 4th

Oh my bad dude. Okay... so then maybe that was one of biggest playoff comebacks in general? This is just 4th quarter comeback which IMO is much harder to do.

This is just 4th quarter comeback which IMO is much harder to do.I'm pretty certain it was the biggest comeback in finals history which makes it more depressing. But yeah a 4th quarter comeback is definitely harder to pull off. I was ecstatic seeing the Lakers comeback from 18 in the 4th against OKC and that was the regular season. Can only imagine how you must be feeling :cheers:

My stomach+chest+throat hurt like hell... I'll tell you that. I let out a primal yell so loud I feel like I may have torn a stomach muscle haha. I don't give a shit though right now.

[Killer_Instinct]

Missed the game and I detest the Clippers, but this is impressive. Shows determination and a refusal to die. Very impressive for an inexperienced playoff squad.

So what were all the quotes about the game?

Had the fam over so I had to lower my voice...but man....I was fukkin hyped! When Nick Young hit that second corner 3, it was almost like you knew we were gonna pull some epic ish and take the lead.

[Clippersfan86]

Video of entire comeback. "Anatomy of a 24 point comeback in 8 minutes".

http://www.cbssports.com/nba/blog/eye-on-basketball/18900990/anatomy-of-a-comeback-how-the-clippers-overcame-a-24-point-deficit-in-eight-minutes


BTW Clippers led the league this year in games won when being down double digits. So they do have a knack for it. Obviously THIS big of a comeback is a miracle/fluke... but if any team is going to do it right now they would be one of them.

[BlackVVaves]

Clippers stopped trying to win games through dynamic dunks and instead played playoff basketball through their defense, which opened up fast break opportunities. Opportunities that CP3, Evans, Bledsoe, and Young were able to capitalize on.

I said it when they were getting blown out, and I'll say it again. Welcome to the playoffs, Clippers.

:applause:

[RazorBaLade]

K watched the vid.. so basically, young made 5 threes in a row?

Memphis is not an elite team yet. They have potential, but they haven't gotten there yet. This year was supposed to define that.

That said, gratz on a historic comeback.

I'm not gonna lie. I didn't turn off the TV just so I could continue to cuss at Vinny Del Negro on my TV...

Then we won !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lots of quiet Clippers haters tonight.

[Pointguard]

After seeing my favorite offensive player and defensive player go down yesterday this was great to see. For any team it would have been entertaining. Wasn't much of a Clippers fan before but that was special.

Just watched the highlights. I, like many, bailed at the end of the 3rd quarter. I'll likely rewatch the whole game tomorrow afternoon to get the full effect. I wouldn't be shocked if NBATV decides to replay it as one of their "instant classic" games.

Yea dude. It was definitely amazing. I'm in a lot of pain from screaming. So many emotional highs and lows this game :( .

[outbreak]

Epic game,
tweets on the nba site were saying it was the largest 4th quarter playoff comeback in 10 years not of all time though?

This is true... but it's the largest 4th quarter comeback in NBA history. I think it's much harder to make a big comeback in the 4th than from let's say the 1st quarter.

[BlackVVaves]

They didn't break the record, tied with Celtics comeback in 2002, against the Nets they were down 21 coming into the fourth.

That was also crazy to watch.

Any fan would feel the same... You never expect to come back from that....

Nope they broke it. NBA TV and TNT confirmed. 22 is what Clippers did tonight, Celtics did 21. Unless both networks are wrong. Hell even on Twitter reporters were saying this.

Single best moment in Clippers franchise history #Flopcity

Let us have our moment. This is the first time really good things have started to happen for Clippers fans. Of course this wouldn't be a big deal for the Spurs... but it is for us.

[Clippersfan86]

I see why you're confused. After game on screen during post game stuff it showed 21 point comeback... but immediately following game showed 22. NBA TV reported 22 as well as a few Twitter sources. If anybody has the game on DVR still.... find out the real answer for us yea? I deleted my DVR.

[tpols]

Memphis straight trolling ISH :oldlol:

I guess its karma for all the shit everyone talked through the first three quarters.

11:30 clock, 4th qtr:

Thats 24 pts dude, not 22. Or is it how you START the 4th that matters?

Yea was just about to correct. I saw that. Thank you. Not from start but biggest deficit. Though 21 point deficit going into 4th also ties Celtics record.

[Alamo]

I know... I remember you going nuts. Are you a Young fan? Or just liked seeing somebody get hot like that?

I like Nick Young, but it's not everyday you see a comeback like this. Everything about it was just crazy. I hope the Clippers win this series.

WHAT...THE...F*CK.

I fell asleep in the 4th quarter and just woke up. They came back and won!?!?!

CRRAAZZZZZYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY.

[dab0yech0]

One of my boys had a fan viewing party at his place and everyone was hella depressed. I was the only one who said we could still win. I told everyone that Nick Youngs gonna catch fire and guess what? he really did!!! Whole place was giving me props for calling it. Also after the game, everyone was making memes and pix of the Grizzlies fans lol. Heres the best one I saw out of everyones:

[Extempo]

It's not so much that the Clippers won. It's more that Memphis stopped playing. That's why in playoff basketball, you need to be tuned in from the beginning to the end. Memphis lost their edge. I hope they can get it back and still win this series. It doesn't matter who wins this series anyway since they will go on and lose to the Spurs in the next round.

Well, also it doesnt matter if Lakers beat Denver, they will go on and lose to the OKC anyway.

[jbryan1984]

It sucks that I fell asleep in the 3rd. Had to be at work at 5. That always happens with the good games.

Fell asleep in the fourth (71 - 95) and woke up just now.... :eek:

Can't believe it :confusedshrug:

[Crown&Coke]

I was one of the idiots who turned off the TV in the middle of the third:facepalm

I missed possibly the most intriguing quarter of the playoffs :facepalm :facepalm

But even though I'm not a CP3 fan, I heard he told Vinny From the Black that he was going to stay in the game when he tried to take him out, and it ended up being a classic. Thats what a leader is all about, never take defeat if there is time on the clock

Kudos :applause:

there is noone who has backed up what he said except for him. havent seen any corroborating evidence of such an exchange but it sounds fishy especially when he claims he said "Give us a chance" when he was -20somthing at the time and the bench unit that was in was in the positives. looks like an egomaniac trying to take credit for a comeback in which he was just along for the ride

[Lamar Odumbb]

That was the most pathetic collapse I ever seen because the Grizzlies got lazy and they let a scrub like Reggie Evans punk them.

On a side note, I never seen so many ugly people in my life when they kept focusing on the Grizzlies fans. I think the Sacramento Kings fans just dropped to # 2 in ugliest fans power rankings.

That barrage of Nick Young three-pointers woke me right up. I was in bed, nodding off slowly due to the blow out that was going on and then I caught those three shots right in a row and was like "Damn, this is a ball game again..."

Don't forget Evans! Dude had freaking 13 rebounds and 7 very important points including and And 1 (complete with free throw made) and the layup to give Clippers only lead of game. I'm shocked CP3 had that much confidence to give the ball to Evans like that in a big moment :oldlol:
