It seems like the NBA media has annointed KG the MVP because of the C's great start and somebody has to be given credit for it. Personally I would probably give the nod to Pierce as the "team" MVP because if he has a great game they can eek out a victory over anybody...including the Pistons,

The getting blown out by the KGless, Rayless Celtics, and i mean BLOWN OUT. Last i looked it was a 39 pt game.

There should be a mercy rule.

But Chris Paul is the difference down there and should be mentioned in the same breath as KG, Dunkin Howard, and Kobe as midseason MVP's

I completely agree with this, and was upset Ben left, but i think even more that we didn't get Tyson in a trade w/ him.

CHI doesn't have a true PG, and for some reason throw alley-oops very rarely. In general, it seems like big men always suck in CHI. Don't know what the deal is exactly.

This prompted me to look around and see if I could find the biggest NBA comebacks. I saw a Bullets game in the 80s in which they came back from what seems like 40 down to win.

But Google, the pride of the internet, has utterly failed me, other than to point to other places where someone had asked the question and not gotten back an answer.

Anybody know?

Author doesn't guarantee that the list is complete or even includes the biggest comeback but then again it might be accurate.

here's what i came up with...

NBA records - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Milwaukee Bucks made the largest comeback in NBA history on November 25, 1977 vs. the Atlanta Hawks. The Bucks overcame a 29 point deficit with 8:43 remaining, finishing the game with a 35-4 run and a 117-115 win.

That's what happens when you trust your bench to finish out a game!

Chandler is soft.

He doesn't have Pistons DNA.

Last time I checked 35, 31 and 30 were greater than 29.

I think the article was combining the points with the time left in the game. But with regards to the biggest deficit overcome it was not the biggest comeback.

35 points Utah vs Denver 11/27/1996
31 points Utah vs Chicago 02/04/1998
30 points LA Lakers vs Dallas 12/06/2002
