>There’s a sick part of me that keeps watching the playoffs, just to punish myself. To remember the feeling of what it’s like, and how bad it makes me feel. To know that, when times are tough and things are going against me, that I want to fight, not only that feeling, but to do everything I can to avoid going home and having to sit there and having that feeling again the next year.

Dude isn’t an amazing player but he’s the only guy on the team who’s never scared of the moment.

Good read. As a high school coach about to start our state tournament the intro hit me hard. We ignore the bond these guys form and the boom, it’s over and it will never be the same.
> I was always told, early in my career in the NBA, when the season ends, it’s kind of like a life. Every season is its own life. Because with people changing jobs or people moving on, you will never come back and have the same exact people — whether it’s in the front office, or in the training room, or in the kitchen, or on the court, or in the locker room, there’s just always going to be a change. That’s why each year is so precious, and the memories that you build, you really want to cherish those. And then, when it all ends, it’s just like … you don’t know what to think. Because you went from having this routine of waking up and having responsibilities and having to be prepared for this, to all of it suddenly, abruptly coming to end. Which is never easy to accept, because you go into every year wanting to win and wanting to be a champion. I’ve never gotten to that point, so falling short, the disappointment in yourself, you automatically think, “What could I have done better?” and, “How can I enhance myself and my team moving forward?”

>Nobody’s trying to celebrate moral victories, and I don’t think anybody on our team is trying to celebrate moral victories
Poor choice of quote for the Inquirer to highlight under the headline. Even IN context it’s questionable to suggest there were any moral victories to celebrate even if they were trying to.
Out of context we had an all-time chokejob with 2 total humiliations in the 2nd round to a team that’s getting owned by an 8 seed
In context you can’t even call things like Joel getting MVP a moral victory because the feeling was tarnished by him historically shitting the bed and quitting while Jokic dominated through KD and LeBron on his way to the finals.
Instead of vindication, it amplified the slander and our own fans are having to accept Jokic is better. 100% of this season was a big fat L.
