Tip-off in 30. Nervous! Aaaaaah!
I hope so, man. The loss in 2022 hurt more than even 2010 because our crop of home-grown stars came this close to earning a ring. Marcus, Timelord, Grant, Theis... It's a tragedy they couldn't close the deal. To say nothing of the pressure that would have lifted from the Jays, and finally netting Al that ultimate accolade he richly deserves.
I practically need this win!
