The only thing worse than watching your favorite basketball players get beat by 18 at home, watching their league-best defense give up 114 points (including 70 in the first half) and watching them give up home-court advantage seemingly just as quickly as they took it is doing it while wearing a team-colored Spider-Man suit.
Even on a rare night off to take in an Indiana Pacers-Miami Heat playoff game, our friendly neighborhood webslinger can't seem to steer clear of the Sinister Six (which I think we can fairly call the Heat starting five and persistent bench game-changer Chris "Birdman" Andersen) or Mysterio (Shane Battier, duh). And this moment, captured by TNT's cameras in the final minute of the Game 3 blowout, was very Dr. Awk-topus.
Hang in there, Spidey. Look on the bright side: At least you didn't get your pocket picked by a little kid, like the "real" Spider-Man.
Also: "My Spider-sense is struggling" and "With great power comes great text messages from everybody you've ever met after they've seen you in a yellow-and-blue Spider-Man costume on a nationally televised playoff game."
