Way it goes in the NBA, lots of blowouts but series are usually decided by a few key possesions and shots. Just imagine what the Spurs would be right now had Horry hit that shot for the Lakers couple years back and gone on to win twice in a row. They would be a team with only one title, many years ago and with a bunch of less experienced players. Would that make a difference either? Sports is great for the theoretical, usually more interesting than the actual. Just as Red Sox fans, half of them don't know what to do now they can't claim its just true love that keeps them faithful.
