    It's been approximately 162 minutes since it happened . . . and, honestly, it hurts. It's a pain deep in the soul that I probably won't ever shake. To be that close to such a great moment -- only to see it slip through the fingers -- is still devastating. Somehow, it seems to have hurt more and more as the minutes progress as the realization set in regarding what exactly was at stake.

    Sure, in the grand scheme of things, it doesn't mean much. It's not something real. It's not a death or some other sort of real life tragedy. But given that following the Spurs is my only hobby in life, it's painful. I'm not going to even try to lie. It hurts.

    I've tried getting away from it all to try to forget about it. But here I am, in the middle of my lunch break trying to eat, and all that I can see are memories of Kawhichael replaying again and again.

    Logically, I know the pain doesn't make a whole lot of sense. It's just a basketball game. And the Spurs already have five championships. And going into last season, a trip to the Playoffs would have been seen as a great success. , going over .500, I thought beating GS once was a success.

    Logically, what the Spurs did last year was a great accomplishment. A year ago, if you told me the Spurs would be a playoff team without Kawhi, I would have been thrilled.

    But damn.

    This pain doesn't compare to anything else I've experienced in my Spurs fandom. Yeah, .4 sucked. The foul was tough to swallow. The no-look pass was unpleasant. The backdoor sweeps weren't fun. The frontdoor sweeps weren't enjoyable. But all of those don't even register compared to this.

    I've had an extremely busy summer. Life is great -- never better. But it will continue to haunt me.



    Hopefully the World Cup will provide some sort of relief. The great thing about sports is there is always tomorrow. For now, at least, the pain of yesterday outweighs the excitement of tomorrow. I'm hoping that changes. Starting tonight.

    I've been saying it for years. Only makes sense that he'd want to play for a Cali team.

    Shoutout to you man. been getting by PATFO fluffers but they didn't listen.

    Knew this would happen after last offseason.

    Patty Mills literally ended this franchise. It's time for Drunkford to walk

    It'll hurt even more when the Spurs become one of the worst teams in the West. At least this place will be better - no more Spur unrealistic homers in here.

    This is Drunkford's fault and only his. From roster construction to hiring unqualified medical staff. This falls on him. Wouldn't be surprised if those doctors aren't really doctors, they're just his friends.

    So rare...I thought if the Spurs and Kawhi woudnt agree on an extension I'd be immensely sad but I'm so excited right now.

    Can't wait to know where he will play, if he can stay healthy and reach an MVP level again, what pieces the Spurs will get for him, if LeBron thinks Pop feels bad and tries to make him happy joining the Spurs....

    IDK I'm thinking about crazy possibilities...

    .4 was worse. Cost the Spurs a threepeat. Combine with the Manu foul, it cost us back to back to back to back to back. Spurs can actually rebuild maybe better without Kawhi, tbh.

    If you're a Spurs fan Kawhi is dead to you after today.

    If you're a Kawhi fan, then carry on.

    That works for you, not for me.

    I still wish him the best wherever he plays, at the same time I root for the Spurs like always do. And will root for them next season, and next, till death.

    If you think you're a bigger Spurs' fan than me just because I don't hate him or want him to die..Well, you're wrong.
