A five-point lead with 28 seconds to go in Game 6 of the NBA Finals was not enough to clinch the Spurs' fifth championship. The peerless historians at ESPN Stats & Information inform us that, over the previous 15 seasons -- including the playoffs -- teams that held five-point leads with between 20 and 30 seconds left on the clock went a tidy 1,850-27.

That's a win probability, dating back basically for as long as Duncan has been in the league, of 98.6 percent.

:pctoss

"Worse, yes, than seeing all that commotion right near their bench in the final minute of regulation as league officials wheeled in the Larry O'Brien Trophy and scrambled to get in position to crown the would-be new champions."

Fucking fuck :depressed

Shit happens but we have a do-over.

Enough with the violin crap. We have a game tomorrow. We never expected to be here. The best team will win the series. BELIEVE!
