    That was a good read. Also loved the article below it titled
    NBA players react to Damian Lillard's series-clinching game winner

    I guess this is why we endure the years of torture. I kept asking myself yet again when Nurk went down why I still follow this team/game so closely every night, and why my mood depends on how we did the night before. This hobby for me is my release from the general malaise of reality, but it has given me so much pain. This kind of night was redemption-- it's why we endure. Dame going around the arena and dabbing up fans and explicitly paying homage to the fact that we too feel the pain that the players do was amazing. I really want us to win a title one day. This is such an awesome feeling.

    I think some of them waited a bit to do it (felton/adams/etc) but Dame was too busy being mobbed by teammates.

    That 2 for 1 play by Lillard was amazing too.

    God damn, that was nasty. He timed it perfectly and the finish was insane. He did like a 180 with a reverse at the same time.

    “Because he’s a player without a number, but a letter, his fans have decided to number his famous shots instead. Point-Nine. Thirty-Seven. As the legend grows, the numbers grow around the Letter O.”

    But the leading bitches (George, Westbrook, Schroder) were headed straight to the exit. Who's tapping the wrist now huh ?

    On another note, no clue why ET played that much.

    CJ's foul trouble had a lot to do with it. Forced Dame to play the whole first half, meaning Terry HAD to rest Dame in the second half. Honestly, I'd just let Simons play instead.
