I love thinking about the concept of ‘what we learned’ on opening night because the chances that any of us actually learned anything from this game are pretty much zero. Learning implies knowing and knowing implies becoming aware of certain indisputable facts. At this very moment, almost every single thing is as disputable as it gets. Never again will we have less data with which to have learned anything than we do right this second. This new season is just a giant monolith sitting in the desert right now and we’re all a bunch of howling apes trying to figure out what’s going on.
