1988 was the last time a Team went back home down 2-3 in the Finals and won the last - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

2 Games to win the Title-The La Lakers over the Pistons. Only difference is the lakers didn't lose all 3 games in detroit, they actually won the first one and lost the next two. Dallas on the otherhand lost all 3 games on the road and now is trying to win the last two so I'm not sure if they can do it.

BTW: David Stern has made it obvious he doesn;t want Mark Cuban to win a NBA Title

Wow I would think it would happen more often but I guess the situation of being down 2-3 when your team has home court advantage doesn't happen that often.

Actually I was wrong, it happened two times, in 1988 when lakers beat the pistons and in 1994 when the Rockets beat the Knicks

There are two similarities with the 94 Knicks and the 2006 Heat...

1. They were both coached by Pat Riley

2. They both suck at free throw shooting

Hopefully the outcome is the same as 1994 then.

I don't think I had any interest in the 94 Finals

I think I was rooting for the Suns and Pacers to make the Finals that year
