The last time a conference finals team came back from a 3-1 deficit was in 1981 (Boston Celtics with Larry Bird).
So yes, possible. But not likely.
The only reason the Warriors have a long shot, as opposed to a virtually impossible shot, is because of home court advantage. If they win in Oracle tomorrow, it's a 2-3 series. They can go all out in Game 6 and force a deciding game in their building. You've got to like their chances in that scenario.
If this were the other way around with OKC winning the first two on their floor, and then splitting with the Warriors on the road, I'd say no way. Even if the Warriors were able to steal Game 5 in OKC and then hold serve at home, I couldn't see them beating the Thunder on their floor in a Game 7. The only silver lining here is that they only have to play one more road game.
Don't forget the Lakers who have more bandwagon fans than any team except the Bulls. But many of them go for the image rather than the team. The urban big city image. LA, NYC, Chicago. Its not the team, its the image they're trying to portray.

This thread could not be more appropriate. I'm a former warriros bandwagon fan. LOL then I saw them in the last game with OKC, and the thrill wore off. Yes I suck.
The main guy...forgot his name...he won MVP. He looks like he has the flu or something...tired etc. They have an uphill battle to win the championship, but since they are in such a bad position, it would be really cool for their Real Fans if they managed to win.

I guess you can jump back on now. The main guy looked pretty good last night.
Also you don't get some reward for rooting for a bad team for 50 years
There is an award for rooting for a bad team for 50 years....when you eventually win, it's magical, instead of the usual..."hey look my bandwagon team just got me my 40th championship in 50 years.
However, if you grew up in the everyone gets a trophy for participation era then bandwagons are going to be a lot more fun.
Hey, nobody is going to be dumb and fault people for joining in on a good party, especially if they are locals.
But nobody ever liked a poser so don't be that guy either.
It's not a completely bad thing, it draws a lot of fans to the NBA.
It's how I personally got drawn to the NBA....roomates watching the Bulls and then living in Chicago.
I was hooked before their 1st championship but they were still an up and coming team at that point.

The thing is "you" don't win. "You" have noting to do with that championship.
That's another thing about sports culture I don't like. People attempting to take credit for successes of other people.
