I really wanted to write this article immediately after the game in Atlanta ended, but (a) I was drained from the roller-coaster of a game, and (b) it was about 4 a.m. in Bangkok and I had to work on Monday.
So, I’ve waited a few hours. I’m going to have to watch this game again before I can evaluate it fairly and rationally; I hope to write an article in a day or two about my rational reaction to the game, providing reasons, statistics and maybe even some film clips, but in this article, I just want to address my emotional response to the game while it’s still slightly raw.
