Yeah...when making a contragts, there's no place for bitterness. Celtics lost the finals to Lakers a few years ago because Perkins suffered an injury; should Paul Pierce say something like "I congratulate Lakers for a win, although we are a better team and we lost only because of Perk injury" in post-game conference.
You take it like a man, not a whiner. Luck exists in sport and you can't do anything about it. Sometimes it's on your side, sometimes it's not.
Great post, but for some jealous and frustrated people is hard to understand the message of this words. They always will find a excuse for your success and for they failure : last year you win because you have money, this year you are in semifinals because you have meet weak opponents, you are in a small country, you sponsors are more generous, your players don't need salary, your players have more expensive shoes, the ball was uncomfortable for my players, you paid-off the referees , my players was tired from the last game, the opponents players taking steroids and are like spiderman and so on :)
You should not enter into polemics with them because they always think they are the ones who are right.
