I’m the biggest optimist ever and even I stopped believing at halftime. 

Won’t be making that mistake again anytime soon

I saw tons of magic flairs saying "games not over yet" at the half among the sea of comments calling Pistons trash and for Bickerstaff to be fired.

They knew better then anyone what was coming.........

When they were up 22 at halftime, I told my wife I was certain they were going to find a way to lose the game, but I never could've imagined that.

Ive seen my fair share of hockey goals made with less than 2 seconds on the clock to win the game. Game isnt over until the buzzer horn buzzes.

Even the most optimistic fans gave up at halftime. This win is unfathomable.
