These are the kind of games that really hurt the most, the ones where you don’t quite know what kind of team you are watching yet and they start out great only to implode. It makes it a lot harder to see straight after, both literally from the copious drinking that often follows and figuratively from an analysis standpoint.
There is just a lot to sift through between the emotions of a roller coaster ride from hell and the reality of what just happened. The emotions of this game make you worry that this team is just not very good, but the reality is they faced a great team that made them look not as good as they are.
