    Just making sure you guys are aware of this very handy site...

    whowins.com

    It answers such questions as: "What is the record of teams that win the first two games on the road?" or "What is the record of teams that have a 3-1 lead and lose Game 5?"

    It's very useful. I used it to produce this cool little chart for my blog....

    LOL ... does it break it down by teams who give their most expensive contracts to known playoff chokers?
