Fortunately, a majority of the Milwaukee Bucks have experienced this during their respective National Basketball Association careers.

And those players know that an elimination playoff game means just one thing: Lose and go home.

That's the scenario the Bucks will face tonight at the Bradley Center when they take on the New Jersey Nets in Game 6 of their first-round playoff series. The Nets hold a 3-2 edge in the best-of-seven series and if the Bucks lose, they can punch out for the season.
