Yup. I have no idea why I continue to read these stories. Still feel queasy thinking about it.

Pretty painful read. Only do so if you are comfortable being reminded how close we were last year. I hate Ray Allen.

Jesus. I had to stop half way through. Can't imagine being a player.
Yeah, I couldn't do it. I got to the point where he started talking about Ray Allen backpedaling and decided not to go any further.
Cathartic read because we have a chance to rid this from our minds forever. Not many get that chance.
that shot and Ray Allen. That should've never had happen. Now we have Heat fans talking all sorts of . No way were they a better team last year.
Would have beaten the Heat in 5 if Manu had never played for Argentina. He looks rejuvenated this year with the extra rest. My fear is that the same thing is going to happen this year with Parker playing like a TOSB instead due to his dumbass decision to play international ball. Hopefully, Manu/Duncan can carry the team through one more round.
Good read tbh
I have that article bookmarked. I'm only reading it if we win this year.
Yeah, Simmons brings it in print. Terrible as an analyst live, though.
It still hurts?
Thanks to the client...let's see if he redeems himself this year.
He has nothing to prove, tbh... BTW, I assume the "consolation prize" you mentioned a while back is still waiting for the Spurs to the bed so it can be pinned on Manu?
The being a multi-millionaire probably cushions the blow significantly.
I actually love reading this story because it reveals how incredibly lucky Miami was to win. Simmons did a really good job of illustrating every detail of the crucial plays and how improbable they were.
Everytime I watched a spurs game this year and they bring up the finals last year, accompanied with footages, I just mute the TV and avert my eyes. True story
its a rare opportunity and what would anyone do if they got a second chance on something they know they HAD the first time around and let slip?
That's... a great idea.
Same. I've scrubbed it from my mind the best I can. Too much lost sleep.
I read it, just because Bill Simmons is straight to the point and keeps it real about everything. But yeah, it hurt reading that still. Being so damn close and then all of that happening in a span of 28 seconds is completely unbelievable. Simmons goes on to say that 99 out of 100 times the Spurs win that game, and why did this have to be the 100th time? Why did this happen to Duncan? It sucks, but it is simply amazing that Pop and the players have come back from that to this moment now. That happened, it's in the past, now go and get this done...
Nope, it was painful enough watching the whole thing the first time last year. I don't need to be reminded, I am not a masochist. I don't dwell on it either, so I let it all go last summer.
I prefer to look on the bright side of things and hope that they win it all this year.
It sucks what happenned but I think winning it this year would be considered one of the most inspirational sports stories of all time. It would show resiliency on the highest level, I like his comparison to 2004 Red Sox. The year before they had a 5-2 lead in game 7 of the ALCS, of course they melted down, gave up 3 runs, and Boone broke their heart with that walk off. Of course the next year the Red Sox pulled off one of the greatest accomplishments in sports.
Gritted my teeth, read it, and ready to put that to bed once and for all.
Didn't read. Or dare I say, "Couldn't".
Kick their asses.
It's a game. It's not like someone's family member died. All those involved went back to their mansions and did no work for months, ate expensive meals and rubbed elbows with the socially elite. I don't think anyone's crying except the fans who aren't really even part of the organization.
Oh I know, let people have their moment. it's been a year. Get over it.
