The thing is... we are still competing for a championship THIS season. Dame said he packed for 3 months. There are experts around the league that say we are a Top 3 team with Nurk/Collins and can beat the Lakers. Who knows who will or won't be healthy next season. You have to take advantage of the here and now.
Yeah buddy, I still see that loss yesterday as another regular season loss. We don't have close to the odds of winning a championship this year as we did in those losses that hurt me so much. Also, I'm pretty sure if you've been watching what I've been watching, the experts are saying that our roster with Nurk and Zach is top three in the West but more like top 5 and the gap between the Bucks, Lakers, Clippers and everyone else is really big. I don't see this season as our best chance to win a title so if we don't and if that one regular season loss is what stopped us, it won't be nearly as painful as losing in the finals or conference finals for me. We all have different criteria for what hurts. On a side note, I do think, like everyone else, that we have the best chance to beat the Lakers out of anyone who can possibly face them in the first round and maybe even in the second round too.
