This reminds me of one of the late 90s years when they were playing the Pacers in the ECF. I had to miss the game for some reason, so I taped it. When I got home, my brother was like "dont waste your time, they lost." I'm pretty sure they were at home, too. I thought about it and decided to watch it anyway, because I assumed he had to be lying. He wasn't, but up until the very end I was holding out hope.
