Last night’s game was bitter-sweet in every sense of the phrase – we can’t avoid the elephant on the basketball court, so, unfortunately, these bullets have to start in a bit of a more depressing tone – but before we get into all of that, I want to say we deserve another game of this series.
The ending of last night’s game was heart-pounding basketball with some of the highest stakes we’ve seen in quite some time. For one team, a dynasty was on the line, and for the other a first-ever NBA championship. That’s TNT “We Know Drama” level stuff.
Also, I have to recognize Kawhi Leonard for scoring 10 straight points in straight clutch fashion. I’m firmly convinced the man is a robot programmed to get buckets and show no mercy. And, hey, have we ever actually seen him complete one of those captcha tests where you have to identify the scribbly letters and numbers? I hear robots can’t do those.
Okay, I’m stalling. Sorry, but now it is time to confront that elephant. Let’s get it over with.
This is eerily similar to the scene seven years ago to when Derrick Rose tore his ACL in Chicago in a playoff game. Stunned disbelief throughout the organization. Some people in tears.

Wondering how those #Bulls fans who were clamoring for Rose to come back and play in the '13 playoffs and calling him soft feel about this KD injury tonight.
Y'all know who you are.

“Let's check ourselves a little bit and understand this is about an individual, a human being.”
