However, my wife is younger and without such scars, and Thursday night after the disaster I saw her slipping away to a miserably morose weekend, so to try to pull her out, I decided to confess my dark secret to her:  Even though I love the Lakers, and I love the back-stories of Kobe growing up, and Romy firing up the bench, and Lamar's sporadic salvations, and all that, I would be quietly bummed for Garnett if the Celtics lose.  He has labored long and with dignity in the vineyards of Minnesota.  The Celtic back-story is just as much about superstars submerging their egos and busting their butts for the team as the Laker's is.  And assuming Bynum finally heals, this is Garnett's last chance.</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3521696381458052473/3371207535329907988/comments/default/1540695049007036347'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3521696381458052473/3371207535329907988/comments/default/1540695049007036347'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.tscblogs.com/2008/06/five-stages-of-losing.html?showComment=1213580580000#c1540695049007036347' title=''/><author><name>Anonymous</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img1.blogblog.com/img/blank.gif'/></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://www.tscblogs.com/2008/06/five-stages-of-losing.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3521696381458052473.post-3371207535329907988' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3521696381458052473/posts/default/3371207535329907988' type='text/html'/><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='blogger.itemClass' value='pid-213357228'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3521696381458052473.post-3295368602515448539</id><published>2008-06-13T21:53:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-06-13T21:53:00.000-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Did I just hear someone say free drinks!!!???
