when they didn't have HCA to start the series?  I have seen it lots of times when the team at 1-3 played game 7 at home but never the other way around?

Just curious but I would not be shocked if the answer was no.

1995 Houston Rockets over Phoenix.  They lost the first two games at Phoenix 130-108 and 118-94, won Game 3 in Houston, then dropped Game 4 at home before winning the last three, including two games on the road.

That team went on to win the NBA title, so there is hope.

It would be amazing if the Cs could pull it off! They just need to win tonight and give themselves another chance

Boston Celtics vs. Philadelphia, ECF, 1968.

Sixers were the #1 seed in the playoffs that year.

I think the Celtics did it to Philadelphia back in the 1960's winning 5 and 7 on the road. This would be a feat if we could do that to My Hammy this year in our condition. Does KG have a bit of Bill Russell in him? Does Paul Pierce have a bit of John Havlicek in him? Ray Allen - Jo Jo White?

We are going to have to get a major contribution from Nenad Krstic, Carlos Arroyo, or Troy Murphy to pull this off. Some one who hasn't played but comes in and gets hot.
The beatings will continue until morale improves

Two Celtics teams did it before... 1968 and the 1981 team... the '68 does not have home court advantage, the '81 team does.... Both teams won...
