Meh, the emotional up and downs are part of the fun in sports. Yeah it can suck when goes downhill and your team loses, but it. Wouldn't have it any other way.
A playoff series with the Warriors is going to be utterly nerve-racking... and I can't wait! For as bad as the lows can get watching games live, the highs always trump them. Moreover, the experience makes for far greater (for better or worse) memories.

found a picture of op:
Lol wtf is this pussy ass ?
I will say it's much easier when you're not favored. 2012 was worse for me than '13
If I saw the result of game 6 and read the recap I would have skipped watching that one later tbh and ditched the recording... I can bare it a little now after 5 but man that whole summer I avoided it.

That was a difficult loss and I never want to see it again. On June 15, 2014 I put that behind me as I watched in person the greatest redemption comeback in sports' history. Manu's dunk on Allen and Bosh is a thing I'll never forget and says it all!
That should be our next matchup on 2K
The emotional up and down is the best part of watching.
Game six did suck really bad though...but it's still worth it. Watching a close victory in a live game is satisfying in ways I get from no other entertainment.
One of the bennies of being overseas is checking the score when I wake up,we lose,I don't waste a few hours of my life.I adopted that policy after OKC game 6 2012.
Only broke it for the 2nd 6 in 2013 and tbh I stopped watching just before the last minute.
I haven't watched game 7 of 2013 and game 7 last year because it really hurts.
As Denzel Washington once said, "Man up , man up."
I think we're better. It sucks that it might come down to how the refs call the games. If they let draymond and bogut run moving screens/body check screens then everyone is ed. I'd like to see Boban go in for a second and just ing hard foul the out of someone, but we're too classy.
It will all depend on your expectations.
I didn't expect the Spurs to win against the Heat the first time. I was actually surprised that they were leading in game 6!
However, I had high expectation that they would win #5 the next time around. If they lost then, I definitely would be devastated.
This time, GSW still looks to be the better team, so if Spurs lose, I wouldn't be too devastated.
Same here I love dvr'ing the game forwarding through commercials and usually end up being live by halftime
me too, i cant handle the stress.....
unless Curry is injured, hahahahahahaha
Damn right.....That was a difficult loss and I never want to see it again. On June 15, 2014 I put that behind me as I watched in person the greatest redemption comeback in sports' history. Manu's dunk on Allen and Bosh is a thing I'll never forget and says it all!
My wife used to be a huge Spurs fan but after seeing me not get out of bed the morning after 6 she won't watch games with me anymore (though she did watch the clincher the next year).Tbh I might do the same. Playoff games take years off your life.
2013 was brutal.
It wasnt that extreme on my end, but I remeber saying i would never watch basketball again..only to.come back in septemeber and start watching again.
That was tough to swallow...
Man, it must suck to root for such a ty teamI wouldn't know the feeling thankfully
I have done this many times as well. I've gotten better since old age crept in, but there was a time I couldn't watch the game without pacing and yelling all the time. Much more relaxed watching all the screw-ups when I know we actually won the game.
Yeah, I know...lol
Avoiding the absolute lows of losing at the expense of the absolute highs of winning seems like a path where you never really experience the full spectrum of life.
Do you not ask out the really hot girl for fear of rejection? Or not go for that really awesome job because you may not get it?
Taking the chance, and reveling in the success or failure that comes with that chance, is one of the best parts of life. Avoiding a degree of pain at the expense of a degree of joy is almost never worth it in my opinion.
aj...Uh, I'm not playing or having anything to do with the success or failure of the game. I'm just watching. I'm not winning or losing anything. I'm not taking any chances at all. My actions have nothing to do with the success or failure of this endeavor.
Has nothing to do with success or failure in life, or taking chances...or in picking up a really hot girl. lol
I'm just watching (or not) a basketball game.
I think Spurfan should relax since we aren't favourite for the whole thing as much as the homer in us want to believe otherwise..
much like in 2013 against a 66-16 Heat team that rattled off a 27-win streak, we are playing with house money..Maybe if we are up 3-2 against the Warriors, then yes, those last (possible) two games won't be good for your health
Exactly, first world problem!
People are dying in war torn countries. People are dying out of hunger, etc etc.
But these idiots can't watch a playoff game played by millionaires who themselves don't give a about the game after 30 minutes when it's done.
