Mathman said:I disagree. In the first place, there's always games 6 and 7.
Technically, yes, but in the specific example I used I was talking about winning the GAME.
Plus, win or lose, you are still the same person. In the long run, it doesn't really mean much whether you made that free throw and won a blue ribbon or not.
I'm not sure I agree with that. Yes, you are the same person but never winning the big one MUST leave some kind of emotional wound if it was within your grasp. In fact one is practically forced by life to move on from that. JMO though.
