I don't really know if I should feel sorry for sore losers. Everytime I turn on the TV or on my way to work listening to sports radio; I always encounter personalities such as Dan Patrick,Colin Cowherd,Vecsey,etc. who keep saying that "if Duncan missed the 3, Suns would've advanced!" WTF??? How on Earth can you guarantee that would be outcome? If the Pats lost the regular season game vs. the NYG, they would've won the SB! WTF??? If Amare and Boris Diaw had not left the bench in Game 4 of the Suns-Spurs series in '07, Suns would be in the Finals! again-WTF??? How can anyone GUARANTEE such an outcome? How can we be so sure they would've gotten by the Jazz or beat the Cavs in '07?
Folks, that is why it is a 7-game series where the better team always comes out. When people tell me that the Spurs game 1 win was the turning point in the Spurs advancing, I tell them No - it was all four wins they had over the Suns. I tell them, even if the Spurs lost game 1, that is only 1 game. The Spurs don't fold or panic in game 1 losses. In fact, they get awakened by it. Even the Bulls had game 1 losses that made them more formidable.
So now, are people like Cowherd,Dan Patrick,etc. really biased toward big name,big market franchises and players since they continue to blurt out effed up what ifs or are they paid by certain people to say such things (e.g. Buss paying LA Sports radio to keep the Kobe talk for the duration of their play-off run) because now I am beginning to think that most of the so-called experts on national TV or radio really know nothing about sports and are just a bunch of pea-brained airheads.
And this coming from a Laker fan!
