Anyone notice the often used cliche that Prince used after the game that we had "nothing to lose". Detroit had EVERYTHING to lose in this game, in that they were facing elimination after an excellent regular season.
Athletes say these tired cliches without event thinking about what they mean. Perhaps an upstart Cinderella team could use the cliche, in that they weren't supposed to be there anyway, but how can the best team in the league facing elimination say there is NOTHING to lose?

you gotta keep in mind if r wallace's shots arent falling he will run away and sulk and probably get a t in next game.
and having flip on the sideline in an important game wont help in miami
ive said it before ill say it again - without the structure and plays run for them in the playoffs that larry brown gave them they are a weaker team. its hard to play offence with just the 4 guys
its like new jersey they cudnt win with just 4 offensive scorers either.

Believe that 11-2 record in elimination games is for home games only for Detroit. That being said, feel as though all the pressure is on Detroit here, if anyone at all and of course they won't lay down. No matter if they were down 3-0 they still wouldn't lay down as that is not what this team is all about. Feel Miami squeezes out a sweater and wins game 6 though.
Nope, the 11-2 is for elimination games home or away for this core group. The only losses I can think of are against SA in game 7 last year, and against NJ 4 years ago or so, when they were swept.
Recent road wins when facing elimination include game 6 against Cleveland, game 6 in the finals last year vs SA, and game 7 vs Miami in last years Eastern Conference finals.
