Anyone else still wallowing? I haven't been willing to consume anything Spurs/NBA related since the end of game 4. One of the most disheartening sports losses in my memory, made all the more frustrating because you could see it coming so far in advance.
Feels like this team really needs to pull out game 5 so they don't add to the ignominy of that record-breaking loss by failing to respond at home. That kind of thing sticks with you.
Not remotely. It sucked, but it didn't hit nearly as hard as Manu's AND1 foul or Kawhi bricking the FT then not boxing out Bosh.
We way exceeded even the most ridiculous expectations for the season and made it to the Finals with the youngest main core in NBA history. We knew going into the season that we were weak at PF, but we sadly drew the wrong team that could really exploit the hole in our roster. I think if we drew Boston or Cleveland or Detroit, we would have won the series in 5. Sucks we got the worst possible draw with a team that matches up better than anyone in the league against us, but those are the breaks. And without a single stupid player from each of our All Stars, we would be up 3-1 despite them being the more experienced team that poses significant matchup problems for us.
I'm excited about the game tonight, Tuesday and Friday.
