"Must win game" is one that has been used a ton for the NBA finals and it annoys me for the simple fact of every game is must win at that point. Any playoff game period is must win obviously.

"A-Game" Is another one since it just makes me think what did they use their B-Game that game and didn't give a shit? Just stupid to me.

technically not every game is must win. must win is overused but it has its place.

I mean it does of course have good reasoning to where it can be used but I just find it stupid when they use it in the playoffs mostly imo all of those games are must win obviously.

Give a 110%

That cliche has always bugged me. In fact the only time I smirked was when Sasha told a reporter who asked about that, "sure I'll give 100% and take 10 from my opponent"

"Their Backs are against the wall"

"They just wanted it more"

"We're taking it one game at a time"

and i agree with the "Must win" and "110%" as well. I find all these highly annoying and repetitive in sports.
