My dear Pistons,

You do this to me every year. EVERY. YEAR. You play so well in the regular season with such confidence, such arrogance! And I fall for it, every single time! :(

You told me this year is gonne be *THE* year. You told me it's gonna be different. You PROMISED me there will be no let downs. That you're gonna give it your all, and we will WIN it all.

And I believed in you. I feel so stupid now that I think about it. Every year, when the playoffs roll in, I feel it. Heck, I can smell it! It's the blood, tears and the sweat of playing excellent basketball throughout the season. And then by mid-April, the game will step up a notch --- to the highest level of basketball --- the playoffs.

But noooooo, by this time of the year, when we can almost taste the Finals, we can almost see the victory parade from a distance and can somehow feel the cold metal from the trophy  --- a MELTDOWN happens.

And all the emotions and all the excitement of winning is flushed down the drain.

My dear Pistons, you lead me on every single year. You take me to game sevens after game sevens for the past 6 years and you failed every single time.

No, I don't hate you. But I think we need to take a break. :(

I will see you again next year, and I know I will fall for it again. Over and over again. Because that's what's being a fan really is about. But for the meantime, I don't want to hear from you until next season.

Good-bye and have a good summer. See you in the fall.

Much love,

P

P.S.
And yes, it's really not me, it's you.
