Fool me 20 times, shame on you, fool me 21 times, shame on me, kind of deal.
I don’t usually post in game threads, just read along to see what others are feeling about the game. I never read post game threads after a loss, as they sure are negative.

I'm similar, I remember being very depressed after that 2006 game 7 loss, and the next 3 straight first round exits killed my enthusiasm. It wasn't until 2018-2019 that I started buying in again and made an effort to watch every game I could, but after wasting $250 on tickets to game 5 only to be devastated yet again I gave up. I might get more invested if they actually get past Dallas this year, but I'm certainty not expecting a deep run
