Like, for me, if (somehow) Brunson, DFS and Carlisle were still here, I'd be having a much easier time with all of this. Not because I think the team would be better, necessarily, but because I'd still fell more connected to the team in the immediate, post-Luka-era aftermath.
Kyrie is cool and all, and a much more successful addition than I anticipated, but I never expected him to be the face of this franchise, and we've only seen AD play (almost) one freaking game. It was a GOOD game, and I so wish he had been able to keep playing. I might feel better by now if he had.
Emotions come and go.
In a little while, we’ll all be yelling and screaming for our team again.
If they win consistently, all will be forgiven and forgotten.
On the occasions on which they lose, people will dredge up the same old hurts and grudges.
Kinda like when you get in an argument with your wife, and she brings up something you said 20 years ago.
It’s just human nature.
