The playoff run may have already ended, but the Warriors, in the eyes of many loyal fans at home (and some away from home, of course :) ), are proud of what they have accomplished this year. Even though the past couple of games had us looking hungry for more, we really were happy with just the mere thought of breaking into the playoffs.
Last night's loss, like any loss, did inflict pain. Did it hurt more knowing it was partly ex-Warrior Derek Fisher's contributions that won it for Utah? Actually, it was easier to accept it that way (even though Fisher really is more ex-Laker than ex-Warrior). It's a weird thing. It reminds me of this great scene in Road to Perdition when the old mob boss (played by Paul Neuman) knew he had reached his end when the assassin (an ex-crew member, played by Tom Hanks) entered the room. "I'm glad it was you." Seconds later he was dead.
But there really is so much more positive than negative. The sun's out and a brighter future is ahead.
Awesome season, guys! Thanks.
