This is so painful, I haven't felt this way in my entire life outside of relatives dying. It's more painful than any girl heartbreak I've ever had. I think you guys know that I love the spurs about as much as anyone can love a team, I'm not a bandwagon fan, I truly care about them. And I honestly don't know at this moment if I can continue to watch the nba in general anymore. It's not because I'm jumping the bandwagon, but I just don't want to feel this way. This is more painful than .4 or Manu fouling dirk in 06. We might have won the title those years, but who knows, injuries, other teams beating us, etc. But this was literally it. We had the title and just let it slip away.
We aren't like the lakers or the celtics, just destined to have great teams all the time. We aren't New York, Chicago, or even Dallas, where we can build a championship caliber team through free agency. This isn't baseball, Hispanic players that would be attracted to SA don't exist in this sport. We got lucky to have the iceman, he was the reason the NBA took us, and we didn't go the way of the Kentucky colonels or Virginia squires. We got lucky to win the lottery the year David Robinson was in it. And we got extremely lucky to get a era defining talent like Tim Duncan to become such a successful franchise.
I don't know what the future holds for us, 20 years from now the spurs could be a forgotten former championship team. 40 years from now people might not know about us, like people don't know the Milwaukee bucks used to be dominant and won a title, or the Rochester Royals (kings). We might be the team rumored to be moving to whatever the version of Seattle is in 2053.
I feel so bad for Timmy, wasted a great game, only to see his team choke it away in the end, even with lebron trying to choke it back with his turnovers. Tonight at least made me decide I don't want my kids to be as interested in sports as I am, it's too cruel. I'd rather they be into other things that won't kick them in the stomach so much. Thanks for letting me vent so I could move on from this. I won't be watching game 7 because I know what's going to happen, and you guys can flame me if you want, I prob won't see it anyway.
