Colin Cowherd: “Apparently this is how it works in the NBA – if you’re a favorite and you don’t BLOW OUT a really talented underdog team then you’re no good and you’re just TERRIBLE. The Clippers are now tied after four games and the world is ending. Did y'all just start watching the NBA?? These first round playoff series can get really tough all the time for great teams… Let’s explain the whole series. Luka hit a 30-footer at the buzzer. If he doesn’t it’s 3-1 Clippers and they’re going to close the series out with Patrick Beverly out and Paul George playing as bad as I’ve ever seen him. The ‘Heatles’ in their first title run trailed in three different playoff series. Remember the ’08 Celtics? They won 66 games and won a title. They were pushed to 7 games by the Atlanta Hawks in the first round. The Hawks were an 8-seed and the Celtics had Kevin Garnett, Ray Allen, Paul Pierce, and Rajon Rondo – potentially four Hall of Famers. One of the best teams in a singular year we have ever seen pushed to 7 by the 8-seeded Hawks. Last year the Raptors trailed in THREE different series and they won. This stuff is not easy. There is no home court advantage in the Bubble and Luka hit a 30-footer. Clippers are the better team and the Clippers are going to win the series.” (Full Segment Above)
Listen to Colin Cowherd explain why he thinks basketball fans and the NBA media are insanely overreacting to the Clippers' shocking Game 4 loss to the Mavericks, as Luka Doncic nailed an unforgettable buzzer-beater to even their series at two.
Check out the video above as Colin details why people need to stop acting like the world is ending just because the heavily favored Clippers haven’t overpowered the Mavericks yet, saying even some of the greatest championship teams in NBA history have struggled against inferior teams in extended playoff series that they eventually prevailed in.
