Yes, that's true. But, you know, after 2006, I had to come back and do something, right? That was a tough year where, you know, we were up 2-0 on you guys. And we were in a great position to win it all. And there's just that whole week, you know, back in the days, it was still the 2-3-2. And that whole week in Miami where we lost three straight was like a week from hell. So that'll never...

Never let me down, but I'm glad we got back in 2011 and had the chance to redeem ourselves.

Never let me down, but I'm glad we got back in 2011 and had the chance to redeem ourselves.

I mean, I don't know. We were up 2-0 and we were up, what, over 10 points in the third game with five, six minutes left. So, I mean, we made a pretty good case over the almost three games that we were the better team. But, you know, you can never not close and say you were the better team. Now, you can say maybe...

in a series of one game where you lose, you can say we were a better team, but you can't say that in a seven game series, that's the better team usually wins. So I can't sit here and say we were the better team. I think we definitely had our chances, but once

Yeah, I think that was just something Coach Eri tried after game four. It was just so ugly. We got blown out. It wasn't even close. And so, you know, he's like, pack your stuff. We're leaving right now. We're leaving. And so we all had to go upstairs and pack our bags and basically checked in somewhere in Fort Lauderdale somewhere.
