Game 6 and me.

Hours before I went to sleep last night, I can't help but think about Game 6. A game that might hail San Antonio Spurs as Champion of this year's series and a do or die game for Miami Heat. I even let myself spent hours reading prediction articles. I'm really worried, it's as if I bet a big sum of money for Miami Heat. (But really I didn't. I never did.)

I am not a long time basketball fan, but I've been a Miami fan since the debut season of Lebron James with the team, way back 2010. Like what I've said on my first open letter to Lebron, I was never a fan of basketball, not until I was able to watch him play. And today, I am an all in Miami Heat fan.

I told myself last night, that if Miami Heat loses to Game 6, I'll definitely write a post for them, but if they win, then I'll have to wait for Game 7. However, obviously, I can't help it. Today's game was one of the best games I've ever watched.

Again, it's a do or die game for Miami Heat, and so on the fourth quarter, with Spurs on the lead of 10 points, I shut the world around me. It's only NBA and me, nothing more.

Ten minutes left comes Mike Miller's 3-pointer with one shoe. That was incredible.


 Then with around sixty seconds on the clock, Heat finally cut the lead to two and somehow my hopes were up again. On that moment, I can't afford to blink, and the butterflies in my stomach were rumbling.

Twenty seconds remaining, and I'm literally crying. This was the first time that I cried watching sports, something too far from a drama scene yet is very dramatic.

The Spurs is still on the lead with 95 to 92. Twelve seconds remaining and Lebron's three-point clutch shot failed. I'm still crying. I thought it was the end of it, but with six seconds remaining, Ray Allen, one of the most-accurate three point shooters in NBA history, made his three-pointer clutch shot.

From Tim Reynolds' twitter.
The game was tied.

That five minute over time was of course breathtaking. Heat lead with 103 to 100 and Spurs has 1.9 seconds to shoot, but Bosh ended the game blocking Danny Green's buzzer beating three-point attempt.

Miami heat won. We won. :)

Now, here's some post game tweets I'd like to share.




*PS. I know that Lebron has never able to read such one of a million post I wrote last year, but then they won the Eastern Conference finals just like how I begged for it. And regarding his second NBA ring? Let's all see on Game 7.
