It says final on espn, but in the box score it has it 0-0 for fourth quarter scoring .... Did they have a power outage or something?

Remember how those two wins over Orlando were some kind of harbinger of coming greatness?

Now it seems like basically we just managed to make-out with the prom queen....right before she went to a party and played spin the bottle with the entire football team.

I think those are still 2 very quality wins. The Magic were playing real well at the time and the second win coming back 28 down against any team is remarkable. Not to mention we were without Ray and Rondo for both and without JO (among others) for another (pretty much the only center on the roster)

It's kinda like the Pats wins against the Jets this year. In hindsight they don't look that great but at the time those were big wins

If our wins didn't mean anything, what should the Pacers feel after getting handled by them off their b2b?! LOL

LOL at the analogy.  TP

although to be closer to the dropoff in the quality of the win, it's probably closer to giving the prom queen a peck on the cheek before she heads off to her job at the strip club.

It's wrecking the virginal prom queen mentally so that now she puts out for everyone...but it was still special when you had her first.  If it wasn't for you, she would never have spent that night in the locker room with the football team.

It's a smaller version of what it would feel like to just completely pwn the Heat in a playoff series to the point that James and Wade don't think they can win together and insist that one of them has to be traded for someone who is a better fit with Bosh and whoever is left.

Actually guys enough with the prom queen metaphors. Shouldn't have brought it up. Site rules and all that.

You tried your best with the "spin the bottle" euphemism.
