    I guess he's applying the Pearl Harbor theory of playoff victory.

    Step 1: Get your ass stomped

    Step 2: Fuck shit up FTW

    For other examples, watch any Sylvester Stallone or Mel Gibson movie ever made.

    The problem with this strategy is that it mostly doesn't work that way. In 95% of all instances it goes like this:

    Step 1: Get your ass stomped

    Step 2: Get your ass stomped

    Step 3: Get your ass stomped

    Step 4: Get your ass stomped

    (Don't get me wrong--I'm all about that 5% right now.)

    Small disagreement, Mook. In my fan experience is looks a lot like:

    1) Get ass stomped at home
    2) Recover and win or at least make it close
    3) If you won, it's on for Game 3. If you "made it close", ass stompings are comin' for you. Sweep city.
