My thoughts exactly. Feel like I had to guard D12 for 40 min last night this AM. So happy we won, but the end of regulation watching 5 pt lead disappear, and almost losing 7 pt lead in OT just drains you. A win is a win, but it sure would be nice is we closed games when we have a lead better. The high of "we got this"! to the panic of "please, not another meltdown" is agonizing. So happy to win though.
lol, I was totally spent, given the blown free throws and that stupid Wright foul I had nothing left - just fukkin RELIEF, I feel better this mornin
That is why it's so great! Honestly, has there ever been a first round like this? They said on ESPN that until the Game 3 of Miami/Charlotte, seven consecutive games were decided on the last play. Then Sunday Nets/Raps goes down to the wire and Blazers play on OT game decided on a steal with 3 seconds left. Great theater, bad for the heart.
In fairness to Wright and that stupid Wright foul, you have to at least contest the shot, as he did. If the refs are going to call phantom and ticky tack fouls, refs gonna do what refs gonna do.
Ya I can't bring myself to enjoy our games as much as some casual NBA fans seem to be enjoying them. Maybe after our run is over, I can re-watch these games with some less tension. This series is just draining. Just imagine how it's affecting the players/coaches. LA and McHale looked like they had just come back from hard combat in a war in their post game interviews.
Maybe the new Adam Silver NBA is less about fixing games than his predecessor, and more about using the refs to keep the games close until the very end. It sure seems that way. Not a bad marketing strategy, really.
Our players may end up suffering from Post Playoffs Stress Disorder (PPSD). I'm pretty sure me and half the posters on this board are getting close to it.
So did anyone hear/see what was going down at the end of the game with Mo and the Houston Bench? They mentioned some sort of scuffle and shoves but then cut to Mike talking to Damian...then Rice said it was time for bed so we turned it off per his command.
