That's right; make Dallas fans the ones who will think "what if?" and "if, only...." for the next decade. :lol

The Pistons didn't make the playoffs in 2001. This happened two years later.

They did play a seven-game series, but the series was tied 2-2 when game 5 started.

Crap.. my bad.... I thought that series in 94 was what gave birth to the name Choke City. That's what I get for posting things off the top of my head instead of checking them. :lol

EDIT: They were down 0-2. I knew that series was the birth of that name.

How may teams have come back from 3-1 and lost Game 7 at home? I bet few if any.

Re: How Many Teams Have Come Back From Down 3-1?

Why bother with old stats on who does this or that? If we put stock in that, then there is no way Spurs should have won last nite. Remember how bad there are facing elimination?

It is all about who shows up to play at what level on that particular nite.

Dunno, but the '95 Rockets has to be #1.

Two road wins to stave off elimination? That's nuts.

The '68 76ers were the defending NBA Champs. What Boston did was pretty incredible though they were the greatest team in NBA history.

The defending champion 1982 Boston Celtics did just that, against the same team they had come back from a 3-1 deficit to win against the previous year...This series aint over.

Since it's out there, the '94-95 Knicks also came back from a 3-1 deficit only to lose game seven at home.

I would have to agree. It's far from over.
