Re: Is knowing they were done when they lost the lead...
When the Spurs had that 17-point lead, I figured two things...
1. They would not have that big lead for very long.
2. If the Lakers took the lead, this game was over.
I was correct on both counts.
Oh, well...TFB...life goes on...see you all in November! :toast
Re: Is knowing they were done when they lost the lead...
Face it. We were lucky, damn lucky to have made it past NO.
Then we ran into another team that was much younger and had a hell of a lot more left in the tank after the long season.
But the team still fought to the bitter end. What more could you ask from them?
This has been a hell of a team. And probably will be broken up this off-season. So thanks guys. You gave it your all. You provided us with hours of great basketball. It would have been nice to have another parade, with a repeat, but it just wasn't meant to be. So we just have to live with being one of the most blessed franchises over the past 10 years. Many teams and many fans never get to have that for their team, the chance to reach the pinnacle almost every season.
I'm sure we'll be right there again next year. In the meantime life goes on.
Congrats on going a hell of a lot farther than probably you should have. I think you did it mostly on heart. See you again in November.
Re: Is knowing they were done when they lost the lead...
I was more pissed about my digital cable pixellating to hell when we were up 16. I couldn't watch the game, I couldn't watch the astros or anything but what was on my DVR. Thanks Time Warner, I have a service call on TUESDAY.
