THE SPURS WILL NEED US TO ROCK THAT BUILDING AND THE CITY WITH OUT VIOLENCE. I ALREADY BOUGHT MY TICKET TO HOME GAME 3 OF THE NBA FINALS. I HOPE THE SPURS SWEEP EVERYTHING BUT I BOUGHT HOME GAME 3 SO I COULD MAYBE SEE THEM HOLD THE TROPHY UP IN THE AIR WHILE I CRY NEXT TO A RANDOM PERSON I DONT KNOW .
