    Should actually be the comportment of that. Prob that all teams up 3-2 end up advancing = .75^4. So the probability that any other combination where one or more underdogs advance is 1-.75^4 = .684. Meaning it's more than 50% likely that at least one of the underdogs will advance. But that's assuming a 25% advancement rate when being down 2-3.

    Prepare for all the nostradamuses that didn't even post in this thread to come and say "I said so"

    We all know it was incredibly unlikely for Rockets to advance at the point this thread was created and it looked like Clippers were on a roll.
