This team plays playoff games with a 1000 pound monkey on their back. They play not to lose, rather than to win. Like they're trying to erase 26 years of playoff failure in 1 game.

And...they find a way to lose.

That was the one knock on Zimmer defenses when he was here and it was a big knock. But do we really know how much of that was Marv. Zimmer's teams in Minnesota play better in the playoffs than his defense did in Cincinnati.
