    Depending on how my team does I have a love/hate relationship with playoff cliches.

    Here are some of the one's that I love being mentioned with reference to this series.

    The Mav's backs are "against the wall"
    Game 5 (if necessary)
    Home court advantage
    Regroup...

    We "stole" one of the first two games--- Why did we have to "steal" it?... it seemed like it was offered up to us on a silver platter.

    how about something to the effect of:

    We took it to another level...now we need to take it up another level, and then another level above that...and then another, and another... - Marbury

    Two games from now I bet the Mavs will be belting out the "just playing for pride" tune.

    This thread isn't one of the long ones where it would have been super hard to read all the posts that came before posting.

    I guess my answer about cliches turned out to be nothing more than a cliche':D
