    Is anyone else still haunted by those two losses? One banked three and a bad stint at the free throw line for Steve Blake could cost us the playoffs. Of course, one could say it balances out Roy and Blake's shots vs Houston and Toronto. Still.... I keep imagining our record with two more wins and two fewer losses. We absolutely should've won those games.

    And we absolutely should have lost the other two that you mentioned.

    You're wasting your time pondering useless facts. Just watch the games.

    No bones about it. ;) (I can say that KS, as I'm currently unemployed.)

    No, I've moved on. Tough losses like those happen all the time to every team. We've had tough losses, but we've also handed some tough losses to other teams. Turkoglu hitting that bank 3 was analagous to Roy hitting that miracle 3 against Houston. Blake made that gutsy 3 against Toronto and then craps on the free throw line against the Clippers. We've got to accept those losses and let them stay in the past. I don't like to think about them.

    Right when I thought I forgot about these painful losses, Eric brings it back up again and makes us wonder what if.... ugh!
