Worst 3-1 lead failure? Poll

[TheCorporation]

Which blunder was the worst 3-1 lead failure?

2006 Kobe Lakers melt vs Suns

2016 KD Thunder melt vs Warriors

2016 Curry Warriors melt vs Cavaliers

2020 Mitchell Jazz melt vs Nuggets

2020 Kawhi Clippers melt vs Nuggets

[SouBeachTalents]

Clippers are by far the worst, Warriors would be 2nd, and 2015 Clippers were also worse than the other ones mentioned

Thanks for your vote good sir.

[000]

2021 booker meltdown.

Uhhh... speak it into existence

[HBK_Kliq_2]

Eliminated because of the prison bubble and they probably rather go home anyway - 2020 Mitchell vs Nugget and 2020 Kawhi vs Nuggets

Eliminated because Draymond's suspension - 2016 Curry vs Cavaliers

Eliminated because they were a 7th seed with Smush\Kwame in their starting lineup - 2006 Kobe vs Suns

That only makes room for 1 choker and his name is Kevin Durant. You had MVP Westbrook in his prime, you had Ibaka, you had multiple years experience with that roster and still choked your ass off and destroyed your legacy. Durant til this day still hasn't recovered. It also makes it even more disgraceful that Durant joined Warriors after the season was over.

Didn't Durant beat Kawhi's 67 win team with HCA the round earlier while completely outplaying him?

Yeah. That’s it. Rather go home anyways?

[tontoz]

If i remember right injuries played a role in all of them....except Clippers-Nuggets. :oldlol:

[8Ball]

What about the Clippers 3-1 lead vs Houston? 2015 it was?

That was hilarious.

[tpols]

People overestimate how hard it is to come back from 3-1. All the underdog team has to do is steal one game on the road. Then they go home where they're favored, and then in game 7 all the pressure is on the team that was up to win.

Yeah that happens all the time. Not that tough at all.

[HBK_Kliq_2]

Westbrook literally won mvp the next year. Kawhi had Aldridge.

Still doesn't take away from the biggest choke in NBA history and he hasn't recovered from it despite being 5 years later.

[HBK_Kliq_2]

Yeah. That’s it. Rather go home anyways?

Jokic did nothing but prove me right with his playoff performance this year. Getting disgraced by a suns team and going 0-4 even though Paul George has won 2 games over them.

Especially when there's 0 fans, like two of the series mentioned in the poll.

[HBK_Kliq_2]

I would pay to see jokic defend ty lue's small ball in a playoff series. He would get laughed off the court even quicker then he did vs the suns

He proved what a dumbass you are, averaging 30/12 and winning a playoff series with a starting backcourt of Compazzo and Rivers.

Blazers were the 3rd worst defensive team in NBA history. I hope he can beat nurkic and enes.

Still doesn't take away how big of an embarrassment he was in the 2nd round. Did you watch game 4? Chris Paul ran the same exact pick and pop play over jokic and spammed it 50 times until jokic snapped and got ejected. It was a tragedy to the game of basketball.

And like I said, even Paul George has 2 wins over suns and certainly kawhi is a bigger loss then Murray.

How awful, only the Nuggets had limited fans in attendance?! Were the Clippers the only team in the bubble!?!

Clippers had the higher seed and were supposed to have home court advantage, instead they playing in front of an empty hotel.

With fans? Easily would of finished them off in game 7 just like they did luka this year.

I haven't even mentioned doc rivers choke jobs in 2015, 2010, 2021 as well when he blew 3-1 or 3-2 leads.

So you got the prison bubble lifestyle, no fans and doc rivers. Positioning bench warmers like Montreal Harrell as your "Chris bosh" hahahaha I was happy they even won a game.

I'm trying to understand your logic--stick with me here. If there was more pressure the Clippers would have won. But since there was less pressure they lost?

[MrFonzworth]

KD vs warriors and it's not close.

[Jasper]

curry team had the best record in history of the league , and the Cav's blew their faces off.

[NugzFan]

you were wrong and still are. Just doubling down

I love that it bothers you so much. I don’t know why. I just do.

No because he didn't choke, Westbrook threw the series away

So what? He sent a healthy Kawhi packing last year even though the clippers were considered title favorites.

:lol

[RRR3]

Someone doesn’t remember that series :oldlol:

[Axe]

2016 warriors was the worst blow job of all because they have that distinction of doing it in the biggest stage of the game, although 2020 clippers aren't too far from it.

[Axe]

Youre so adorable when you try hard.
:lol

Delusional stans are always the worst kind.

[tontoz]

kobe getting kwame and smush 3 wins vs nash, amare, marion, diaw, bell, thomas, barbosa was a success

do people actually think if kobe went for a 2nd game of 50+ it would have changed anything in game 7 in phoenix


Amare didn't even play in that series. Diaw was a bust in Atlanta couldn't even average over 5 ppg. Tim Thomas and Raja Bell arent scaring anyone just role players.

Odom was the 3rd best player in that series.

[ELITEpower23]

Is this thread really just a reminder to laugh at these dudes for not cutting it?

[hold this L]

Westbrook must have made KD shoot 11/31 at game 6 in OKC, in a game where the Warriors only won by 7 points.

[hold this L]

The worst is 2016 Warriors because it was in a final, during a 73 season. They win that, and you have the goat overall season instead of goat regular season. Injuries played a key role, but a choke is still a choke, and the implications thereafter changed narratives that still don't change to this day in a lot of people's minds.

[And1AllDay]

versus 2016 warriors

kd took a 3 to 1 lead and lost :oldlol:
bran faced a 3 to 1 deficit and won

:lebronamazed:

its levels 2 this shit bb bois
