That fueled Magic's act of vengeance, filled his heart with hate, like the Captain in "300." Maybe Duncan will get blood drunk and commence his own 100 game grailed quest as Magic did nearly 30 years ago. If Pop & Duncan and the afflicted find their salvation a year from now as Magic and his children did 28 years ago we'll have a Summer we'll never forget.
We can only hope that there's still a fire in his belly after all of the crap with the missus blows over. I tend to think that the situation at home filled him with a resolve that wasn't broken until the final buzzer of Game 7.
