Odd. It just hit me that this may be our final Piston game thread of the season.
My head told me would win last night, but I had an ominous feeling all day. I was at work, and basically checked the score around halftime, once or twice in the 3rd quarter, and the last I checked was with 3 minutes to go. We had a 5 point lead, so I tried phoning Aurora so she could give me the final since I couldn't reach a computer. She wasn't home so I phoned my 11 year old daughter.
She keppt telling me it was 11-5. I eventually figured out she was looking at the Tigers/Indians score. I was getting more nervous by the minute. My head told me we won. My heart said we were in trouble. My daughter said...it's 93-93 in overtime.
Ok, I stopped my knees from buckling. I got off work a half hour later and went to Yahoo. Headline "King of the Palace". I almost puked. With a little bit of hope I checked the score anyhow.
"Season over", I told myself as i drove home.
I came home and found solace in reading the forum...because knowing even though I was the only guy in Idaho who probably gave a damn about the game...I wasn't alone.
