So does missing the playoffs in your prime tbh
Puts you in a separate category tbh. Since it has only been done 5 times ever...
So does missing the playoffs in your prime tbh
& nobody aside from us ever cites it.
The Spurs are the epitome of piss pot.
Oh but they got 5 les Cubby, not too shabby during that time. Of course they gave away their first 5th and their was getting sold, but they went back the next year and TOOK the 5th from the trophy case.
Uh-huh
This is ancient ground we're covering, Cags. Your 1st 5th cannot be redeemed. It's gone forever. That you went out and won your 2nd 5th is an accomplishment that must stand alone. I tote that cipher.
That's part of your heritage, your white paper, your story. Not everything in that book can be a joy, there must be suffering put down in there, tears on the scrolls.
It's akin to "Cool Hand Luke." When he's recaptured and he shows his friends that photo of him and the two bar girls on each of his arms. It's a fake photo, "Cost me two weeks pay." The fellows are incredulous and in anger rip the picture up after Luke comes up out of his early grave. "Come on, son, come on up out of there."
After Luke is shot to death they're reminiscing in the jailhouse about him, the close out frame of the film is of this photograph. Somebody has retrieved it from the trash and taped it back together again. That's your 2nd 5th=a tape job.
It is redeemed damnit!![]()
That night was a bad night man, remember it well and then the whole summer... 1st 5th can ruin a damn summer, bad times.
That was your great tragedy. Seared your soul.
You knew how victory felt. You never felt defeat, catastrophe had never touched you.
Now you know. It's in the ledger there right next to the 5. Sometimes you open the book and you bypass the 5, go right to '13. It's good to marinate in that misery. Live it again. Would've's, Could've's, Should've's, if's, and's, but's. On the tapestry of your life it means nothing, and yet everything. A part of your life of Spurs Fan life has been annotated with it & by it. That's special.
2013 Lakers are the second biggest failure in NBA history next to their B-Team the 2015-16 Golden State Warriors.
Nothing beats when they were selling your , Midst. That was over, dad. Over-over. Strung your ropes, sold your . Preparing your victory feast up the boulevard.
That you weren't brought up in Media, hoisted upon a pe and paraded around the square for everyone to laugh at served you nary well. That's part of being a man, standing the gaffe, not having a big shot shield you. You missed that and for that I pity Spurs Fan.

Never over til it's over, Cub.
5 point with 28 seconds left and the other guy has the ball. That's an eternity.
You just want to play it up "the selling your " and "stringing your ropes" to make a mountain outta a mole hill.
Fact is your Golden State Warriors pulled off the biggest gaffe in maybe sports history. Up 3-1 with 2 left at home. It's over at the point. And I ain't hear a peep from you on that up.
3-1 up, Cub!
They were selling your . That's big time, Midst. Nothing beats that. Just lucky you're under the protection of Media. I guess it's lucky. You'd a been better off to be punished and you'd be better for it. That's impossible now. Only I remain to punish you. And I'm old and tuckered. Someday I'll die and with my passing will be your final chance to belly up to the bar and pay your debt.
To be fair that was only done four times by the snitch.
W's did flat out choke and then some, they were a lock for the le after going up 3-1 pretty much if you look back at history. They were the first to blow it.
But they weren't selling their . They were selling your .
Nothing trumps that. The fact that you got clean away with it,,,aside from me beating you half to death over it doesn't change the facts. You ed up, big time.
Trying to get someone else to fight your war. If only you had that option in Nam.
Huh? Dale got tons of folk to fight his war. He dodged 'Nam with a "chronic anal sprain" and was scraping food and scrubbing latrines at Ft. Bragg.
Lakers have had more than their share of embarrassing losses in the playoffs. But holy dude... losing in the first round to an 8 seed sure the ain't one of them.
Christ, that is a heart-break us Laker fans have never experienced
They were selling your .
