@_JasonLT You may have to revisit your pick of the Lakers to win this series.
As you know Minnesota finished the regular season 17-4 and they had the 8th offense and 6th defense.

This hit me hard...
We all have "that guy" somewhere in our head.
So much of our success is determined by our ability to manage his influence over our day-to-day actions.
The reality:
Everything meaningful that you want in life is on the other side of something that sucks.
That suck might be 100 hard workouts.
That suck might be 100 bland meals.
That suck might be 100 hours of focused work.
The best things in life require upfront pain.
Embrace the suck.
We're all waging a constant battle between short-term pleasure and long-term fulfillment.
It's much easier to let the "guy" in our head win.
But most of the time, the hard way is the right way.
Yes, it's hard to delay gratification. It's hard to train your body and mind. It's hard to focus. It's hard to have difficult conversations. It's hard to show up for the people you love.
But it's even harder to live with the knowledge that you hid from all of those things.
Today, and all days, outwit "that guy" in your head.
Choose your hard.
Sobered by last night and trying to practice what people call radical acceptance, not of a presidential candidate because surprising things happen. Just plainly sobered by the thought that, with other individuals to choose from, masses of people still hail Trump. He’s what they actually want in a leader. A bully. A verbally abusive, artfully and purposely divisive bully who has all but left the Republican Party unrecognizable. I don’t know. I just can’t understand it. Maybe I’ve got a mental block. But, you who are staunch Republicans, why don’t you care about your own party more than that?
Forgive me. I don’t want to be a repeat performance of my 2016 self. I don’t. I didn’t like her anymore than you did. I intend to deal differently with this. I do not intend to get obsessed. I do not intend to lose more relationships. I don’t intend to talk about this regularly.
As the Scriptures say, I want to seek peace and pursue it. I want to be a person of kindness, love and compassion.
But I’ve got to move to a place of radical acceptance. It was one thing to cast a vote for a party’s only candidate, reasoning the choice as the lesser of two evils. This is quite another thing. This is wide-open-eyed, “we WANT Trump!”
Anyway, this is where we are. We can complain all we want about our leaders but, in this government by the people, at the end of the day and the beginning of November, our candidates are mirrors of ourselves.
