There was a game 3-4 years ago where Seattle was down like 24; I forget who it was against. Anyway, those of us who had Seattle started a come back thread. They came back and covered (forget what the # was) It was a truly sick comeback!
This game happened back in the day when Tate and Zapster were ripping up the NBA with their patented "Agreed Plays"

Here's that thread if anyone cares to read http://www.therxforum.com/showthread.php?t=145014
Seatle was down 19 at half and came back to cover 11 in OT.

SundayTiger, I don't know you and don't have any reason to think that you aren't an awesome capper/basketball fan. Please don't take this the wrong way...
But from my experience with watching NBA games, and any basketball game for that matter, how the hell did you or anyone else think that this game was over after 24 minutes, with 24 minutes left to play?
I have watched thousands of games, and one thing that I know for sure is that a 20-something point deficit is NOT THAT MUCH, especially in the NBA. If a team is able to bring that deficit to 10 by the beginning of the fourth quarter (which is very doable, and the least of what they need to do to have a great chance), the game is definitely NOT OVER... and that is the least conservative. In my mind, having coached basketball, if my team is within 10 points with 6 minutes, we have a great chance to win the game!
It shocks me to know end that people watching the game, including so-called expert commentators (like Jeff Van Gundy, who I am actually a fan of), can state that the game is over in the first 20 minutes of the game.
I am a Laker fan, and I realize that there is an inherit bias that comes with that, and I will state my position to be clear. However, I don't think that changes what I have said above.
