"Focus instead on the immediate task at hand, which began back in the second week of April, and it's almost inconceivable that the Raptors actually just pulled this off in the manner in which they did it.

The Raptors trailed not once, not twice, but three times before even reaching the NBA Finals. No team in NBA history has gone on to win the NBA title after trailing in three different series prior to playing in the Finals.

Until the Raptors."

2-1 to Indy

3-2 to Boston

Looks like the Heat never trailed against NY in 2012.

I'm surprised the Raptors are the first to do it. It still doesn't seem accurate to me.

We really trying to hype up trailing in the first round to the 7 seed is tougher than doing so in the Finals :oldlol:
