Just enjoy it...all of it

Christ, I've been coming here for a long time as well. The reality is...this board has changed. From TimVP telling us how great the Grizzlies are, with the obligatory "reverse jinx" mea culpa...to crap like this.

If I thought this was a decent breakdown of strengths and weaknesses, with some rational thought behind it, I might take it seriously.

But this sounds more like a hormonal, time of the month, bittersweet, lost love romance novel.

Emotions have made the frequent posters here all maudlin.

Here's what the "reality is."

You don't know shyt. And if you did, you'd be betting your mortgage on the outcome. So quit emoting all over the place and find yourself a testosterone supplement.

Boom

Pop now has over a week to break down the Heat. I like our chances tbh.

I've been posting here for nearly 10 years now and to be honest, I spent a lot of the championship years ing about losses to teams like Milwaukee and the like in the middle of March. Glass was always half empty blah blah blah.

The reality is, we're not going to beat the Heat but you know what, we may not make another NBA Finals for another 15-20 years, who the knows.

Just enjoy this moment. Enjoy that after 2010 when things seemed crap, and the team seemed too old and too injured that our Spurs defied the odds when they were counted out at some point heading into virtually every series (including by yours truly) but still hung tough.

The Spurs are in the NBA Finals. Say it out loud. What was once taken for granted has now turned into one of the sweetest post season runs in the franchise's history.

You guys are great, this board is great, and most of all this team is really f*cking great.

Get trashed, call in sick tomorrow, and enjoy this run.

Good post, cheers mate

Also, I'm hurting right now - wish I would have called in..

I thought the Mavs had almost no chance against the heat just two years ago... timvp thought the Spurs had almost no chance against the grizzlies right now...

That's why they play the games. Basketball is a game of matchups - although Memphis is almost certainly a better team than Golden State it was Golden State that took us to 6 games because their team was a more difficult matchup for us than Memphis. We just have to see how difficult of a matchup the Spurs are to the heat

The best part of it all so far...

The Spurs are back in the NBA Finals.

The Lakers are fishing.

The Thunder (and Derek Fisher) are fishing.

We got payback on the Grizzlies for 2011.

Because of the sweep, we now have 9 days off to revel in the awesomeness before the Finals begin.

5! GO SPURS GO!!!!!

How did the Heat go from Lebron choking his ass off against Dallas in 2011 to needing 7 games to scrape by an old ass Celts team in 2012 and finally getting his first ring to now his Heat are this unbeatable monster and everyone is just playing for 2nd place in 2013? This isn't the 96 Bulls folks..
