Why do you watch sporting events that you know will stress you out?

Joke's on you, I'm a psychopath and feel no emotions

I'm a masochist. No really, I am. I'm wearing clamps in certain places as I'm typing this

I'm old and I don't care about anything anymore, sports give me a chance to pretend to give a crap.

6 votes

I'm an empty human husk and the only emotional connection I have is to my team.

Enduring the pain of being at the edge of your nerves during the whole game makes victory all that sweeter.

The Win is always good, but

after seeing the likes of matt bonner, and the rest of our bench winning games for the regular season and not coming thru in the playoffs (not that I blame them, the playoffs need to be won by the main players, with the HELP of the bench) these wins feel a little hollow.

however, tiago is starting to prove hes a legitimate option and when manu comes back to run more with the second unit as a backup pg, im sensing that lineup can do some legit damage.
