Great expectations cannot own our fan experiences.
"On a long enough timeline, the survival rate for everyone drops to zero." - Narrator, Fight Club
These playoffs have been brutal. So quickly we've had two games, two losses, and a sense of hopelessness that I've not felt since the first round in 2007. Then,the Chandler Parsons season-ending knee surgery news came. Then the Rajon Rondo injury/banishment. The Mavs are stranded in the oceanwithout hope of rescue.
We Maverick fans have been lucky. So absurdly lucky that our entire sense of what expectations should be has been warped, probably permanently.
