Two friends go out on the town one night, one meets a girl and they laugh and have fun and maybe even do the deed but when he wakes up she’s gone. The other went out and met no one and went home alone and woke up alone. Both are alone in the morning so that’s the same end result. ITS ABOUT THE JOURNEY! Life is short. Enjoy the wins, hope for the best and always bring the girl home with you. Or guy. Or both, for that matter.
Extending on your analogy, for the lucky dude or girl or person, it can eventually get old. Not necessarily for everyone, but for some (maybe a lot?), they yearn for something more meaningful. Maybe they're older? Experienced just about everything dating can offer, except for just once, they'd like something that lasts. It doesn't have to last forever. Or even for consecutive years. But special enough it will be permanently etched in the halls of dating or a trophy somewhere and be remembered.
I lean more cynic myself with the organization, but I'm encouraged with how they're playing of late, especially since acquiring Powell and Nurk returning. The defense looks better, actually getting turnovers and challenging shots. CJ and Dame are probably playing the best ball of their careers outside of those occasional in-the-zone games they get. I'm liking this two game version of Nurk better than the earlier year version, and maybe he's more effective with less minutes. It doesn't feel like we have to feed him to keep him engaged. It's not necessary anyway, because the ball movement has been better with less hero ball from Dame and Lillard.
It's just 2-3 games against sub 500 teams, granted, but those teams played better and harder than their record would indicate. Some feel our past playoff success was fools gold, and not necessarily indicative the team has championship potential. I tend to agree, but to me, on paper this current roster looks the most balanced team. If Dame and CJ can find ways to duplicate past playoff performances, they "should" have better contributing help this go-around. As a jaded fan, I just want a little hope and give it a week or two, some convincing wins against the Bucks, Clippers, or Utah, maybe there will be reason for hope. On the bright side, I'm not all that intimidated by the competition this year. IMO, there are no super alphas guaranteed to get the girl or guy or person.
I want to thank the refs for allowing defense to be a factor without their touch fouls. Covington was awesome in this game.. Nurk looked like a sharp dressed man. CJ is landing on one leg and that makes me cringe. Looked like Hood was determined last night.
