Given that every single one of those teams also managed to win 3 of the previous 6 games, I'm sure that like the Celtics game 5, they all had a similar game to point to as well.
I did not know that and to be honest, that does change my perspective a bit.
However, I know you hate me and you have to skew any post to make it so I look like an idiot, your statement that Dean's analogy was "imperfect" is way off based. Imperfect means that some part of the analogy works and that's not the case. It was just a completely incorrect analogy, not "imperfect" and my perspective, while flawed, has some evidence that can be cited to support it.
In conclusion, you really do have an unhealthy hate for me, especially given this is a VERY insignificant internet message board.
