2013 NBA Finals. Game 6...the Heat hosting the Spurs. The Spurs are up so big late into the game...plastic was already affixed to their lockers and the champagne was on ice. The NBA was even sure of the outcome, they had the trophy out and we're readying for the ceremony. Then, inexplicably, amongst an already vacated crowd the inconceivable occurs. Somehow, someway, the Heat pull off a miracle to win the game and stay alive to game 7. The Spurs never recovered from that, and lost the next game and the championship. They lost the championship after they seemingly had it within their grasp.
The next year the Spurs we're on a mission. How do we know that? Because they told us they we're on a mission. Usually a mild mannered group, with no ego in them, the Spurs we're honest with their comments. They stated redemption as that's season mission. And they also stated they wanted another crack at the Heat. They canned the trite "well, we really don't care who we play" for the uncharacteristically beautiful "we want the Heat again".
The Spurs did get their wish. They faced and SLAUGHTERED the Heat. In some of the games the Spurs ran up 30+ point leads on the Heat.
Lets hope our Seahawks learn from that Spurs team. Lets hope that the team, already known for creating slights and carving chips on their shoulder, uses the SB's outcome as motivation. I wouldn't be surprised at all if their goal is an undefeated season. REALLY. They lost a chance to be the first 3-Pete...so what's left other than going undefeated?
