    For sure..it's exhausting!!

    I remember after Game 6 of the World Series thinking that I was just so glad there was only one game left, because I couldn't imagine doing even one more.

    man, game 4 was so stressful for me...I got so nervous in the 4th quarter that I was shaking, I kid u not...I only relaxed once the ball got into Klay’s hands in the final seconds because he’s garbage when he has to create for himself and it wasn’t KD or Curry taking that last shot

    the Rockets are so close to making the finals...these games aren’t good for my heart

    I texted @topfive on Tuesday around noon how I started drinking then. The fact I'm sober now is disheartening.

    I think it's actually easier on the players in a way. They actually get to control the outcome, and have the ability to move on from a game quickly since they have to refocus for the next one. Fans are stuck watching something that's completely out of their hands, yet have the same (if not more) level of passion as the players.

    Not to incur the wrath of @DreamShook, but I've got to agree with young Han Solo regarding tonight's game:

    "I've got a really good feeling about this."

    I think my inability to handle this stress reflects poorly on me despite my claims to being the 3.73 billionth youngest flexer in the game.

    This is NOTHING compared to Clutch City 94-95. Hell, the Astros were more stressful in the ALCS and especially the WS.

    Very stressful...op is spot on. I have to unwind for about an hour to two hours after each game and dont get to bed until about 1. Then I get up at 5 with a toddler sprinkled in at around 2 or 3 in the morning on some nights. Yesterday I crashed at 7. Woke up for bath time/bedtime chores with my daughters at 8:30 and then crashed again at 9:30. I finally hit a wall this week. Astros was probably worse thought to be honest but I am not complaining!

    This is one aspect that worries me about this run. If this goes for longer, I will be fired

    I’ve had to apologize to my wife multiple times for my reactions during these playoffs.

    For example, at the beginning of game 4 she was in the another room and could hear me cussing up a storm (as could my 10 year old daughter, I’m sure) and came in to ask if I was sure I wanted to keep watching the game. She was sitting with me for the end of the game and as I yelled and jumped up and down she looked at me as if she had serious concerns about my mental health.

    All that said, I do find I can put losses behind me a lot quicker than when I was younger.
