We've been through one game.  It did not go how we had hoped it might.  But it was one game.  This game is the second game.  After this, we have 80 more.  You'd think we be able to handle a loss a little better after we all endured last season, but apparently we still need to talk a few folks away from the edge.

Let me say that this will still be a long season for us as fans of this franchise.  We'll enjoy the highs, we'll look for silver linings in our losses.  Just remember that we cannot live and die with each win or loss.  All signs point to the idea that we will experience more losses than wins this season.  Look for small victories where we can.

Along those lines, was anybody not a little bit inspired with the way Casspi played last night?  Look for those little things.  Those are the aspects of the game that we can enjoy, even in tough losses.  

All that being said, yesterday's recap thread was incredible.  Great discussion all around.  Kudos to everyone.  That's the sort of thing that makes me proud to be a member of this site.  

Now, on to the preview of tonight's game.

Opening Thought

This should be a compelling match-up.  Both teams are on pace to end the season 0-82.  But after this game, one team will be on pace to go 41-41.  I'm no mathematician, but that seems like a sweet deal.

Thoughts I Stole From Section214

Section was once again kind enough to leave his notepad out on his desk.  Ya'll know how much I enjoy stealing things, so here it goes…

For Your Added Entertainment

Mr. Section214 also devised a fun game for your viewing pleasure.  He suggests picking when you believe the following events happen.  I also believe that this could be a hell of a drinking game if you don't particularly feel like being conscious for the second half.
