For four teams, it started on Tuesday. For the Brooklyn Nets, Wednesday night is the night we’ve been looking forward to since the end of last season.
There’s just something about opening night that makes even the most jaded fans among us get in touch with their inner optimist. Forget the forecasts of doom and gloom, forget the flaws that even you know are there — it’s opening night and it’s special.
It’s that one night each season where a fan can cut loose. Your team is undefeated and none of the problems and shortcomings you’ve been worried about have exhibited themselves yet.
