It seems to me the actual "sweep" part would have to occur doesnt make sense unless all of the final wins result in closing out the series.

This is why sometimes you just need to say “<Insert Team> in 5” instead of trying to get cute with it

How tho? Being a gentleman is about letting others go first
Googled it and apparently what youre referring to is a backdoor sweep, which I never heard of.

Maybe I havent cause it doesnt happen as often as a gentlemens sweep? The Dubs had one (gentlemens) against the Mavs last year iirc.

Exactly
. Winning 3 straight isn't a sweep. Winning one isn't a sweep. Gotta be 4 straight. I'd even allow losing the first 2 as long as you win the next 4

I feel like they used it on Sportscenter growing up when referring to Hockey. I could be terribly wrong though

Don’t like this sweep talk. Just glad Nuggets got this game but game 2 will be tough. Gordon hitting shots was huge

That's why it's a Gentleman's Sweep (win 3 straight games) not a sweep (4 straight games)Exactly

Always thought a gentleman sweep was when a team is up 3-0, loses the next one, then finishes the series 4-1
You're basically being a "gentleman" for giving them that one game right before you end it.

Mythical creature like the Bigfoot and the Loch Ness Monster. Perhaps even less real than those two.

It can be 3 games or 4 games depending on length of series(there used to be best of 5 first round in nba) IMO i just think the actual sweep part has to take place
