PrintEver wake up feeling great, even though things are terrible? Feeling like almost everything is right in the world, even though life gives you rancid lemons? If so, you're probably one of the losers people this thread is intended for.
You see, even though our beloved Silver and Black were brutally ousted from the playoffs in 5 games, there is some great basketball being played elsewhere. As our fearless leader Wayne pointed out last night:
Oh man, these have been 4 really close games so far. Decided by a total of 7 points.
Denver's 3-point victory in game 2 of this series was by far the most convincing by any team in the Conference Finals round. All the other games were decided by 1 point. omfg the Nuggetz are like the best team evAr! But in all seriousness, this round has been a treat for all fans of the game so far. Even one of my facebook friends, who may or may not be Manu Ginobili, agreed after the ridiculous final 2 seconds of last night's Cavs-Magic game 2:
Wow! What a game! I was about to say something about Hedo but had to change it for LBJ. Unbelievable. What a shot. Congrats. We are watching great conference finals. I LOVE THIS GAME!!!!
If Manu says it's amazing, it has to be true. Nobody can question Manu, his word is like Sharia law around here.
Also, Orlando fans now know why we don't speak about 0.4. Here's another status update, from one of my old high school friends in Florida:
[name removed] just had his heart ripped out. I cannot believe how that game ended :(
Against that super-competitive backdrop, the Western Conference Finals are more relevant to us, since these teams will be among our competition for seeding again next year. And because, as Spurs fans, hating the Lakers comes naturally. In fact, most of us thought one vote was not nearly enough to express our hatred.
In this game, there is the added intrigue of a few possible future Spurs. Any of them would be good additions to our team, and the first two are free agents this offseason. Let's hope Pop and RC are paying attention, too.
The males utter a loud mating call to attract female(ish) marshmallow men.

It's a holiday weekend here in the "first world", so order a pizza, grab an alcoholic beverage, and stop acting like you're not bored out of your mind. Pull up to your computer and discuss the game with those of us who will freely admit to our loserdom.
As for me, I may head off to Sedona (the only good thing about living in Arizona, honestly) in the morning hours for some nature photography, but I'll be back in time for the game either way. If any of you have plans to do anything special over the extended weekend, please share with the rest of us so we can feel bad for not having thought of it ourselves.
So, are you loser enough?
Umm, you weren't invited, and that doesn't count as a disguise. Even us losers have standards.

I mean, we don't just let anyone post here. Do we? I mean, the occasional crazed Argentine rants about Maradona and Fangio are better than having a psychopath as the leader of your team, right? Even having another crazed Argentine going OCD over every fanpost (who will hopefully find any mistakes in this post) is better than that. :-P <--- Eat that, PtR smiley police!
Kick back and relax - this ought to be a fun one. Oh, and go anyone but the Lakers Nuggets!

Man, we almost had dueling loser threads……..again. So close.
Nice preview Riki, you had me LOLing and ROTFLMAOing several times!
It is what it is.

Great preview by the way. Go NBA! (okay… go Nuggets? I’m a bit ashamed)

Hey, guys. Nice preview, rik.
Why is Monday a holiday there? It’s also one here.

:::stands up::: Hi, my name is SinCitySpur and I am a loser. I’ve been a loser since I was born April 28, 2009. It’s hard not being a loser, it’s a daily battle fighting my inner demons, but thanks to all you fine folks for helping me through this.
See you at game time beaches!
It is what it is.
We are who we are.
Sorry, no one here can out-lose the colossal loser behind me in traffic this afternoon who, while I was giving a dollar to the homeless man on crutches just as the light turned green, honked at me.
What a dickweed.
Excellent game thread, rik — dare I say otstanding? You PtR faithful are really stepping up. Am at work, but hope to be home in time for tip-off.
There’s being a loser, and there’s being someone who wants to commit suicide, and as you see a person approaching, thinking this kind soul might want to talk you out of it, said person…pushes you over the edge. Literally.

I guess we finally know where amazing happened. The folks at ABC/ESPN/ESPN2/3/4/5/ESPNEWS have had LeBron’s balls in their mouth since he hit that shot.
It is what it is.
We are who we are.
You kind of can’t blame ’em.
Although last night Reggie Miller kept insisting that Hedo didn’t contest the shot strongly enough.
True, he didn’t. They also didn’t defend Mo Williams’ inbound pass that good either.
It is what it is.
We are who we are.
I don’t agree. I think the shot was contested about as much as it could have been. LeBron made a great, great, super-clutch shot. Had it not gone in, the Cavs were done for. Season over.
Agreed. What do you want from Hedo? He was right up on him contesting. Lebron may be the most athletic player in NBA history.
The real question is what the heck Rashard Lewis was doing. He was so far off Williams that he wasn’t bothering the inbounds pass, but with only 1 second, he wouldn’t have time to help on anyone who caught the ball either.
Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
It’s BS, I tell ya. They keep on saying that Bron’s shot already replaced MJ’s dagger to Cleveland fans’ hearts. It hasn’t.

Sad story. My parents throw all the trees, branches, clippings, ditch cleanings, etc. from their farm into big pits, which we burn once a year. Today was that day. Unfortunately, some rabbits had created a burrow in the pile of wood. When the fire started, most of them ran out, but a few little ones got confused and couldn’t escape. Fairly certain we tramatized some young people today.
Yikes. I’m sorry — for the bunnies, yes, but for you guys, too. That must have been a wretched feeling.
Hey loser! You mean, um, this, uh, bunny?

No way Denver’s gonna let him go. He’s HUGELY popular here and has stated numerous times he wants to come back.
but they’re so far over the cap even without him and Kleiza. We should be able to steal one of them.
Free James Gist!
