Groundhog Day Nightmare

I left after the first quarter. It actually helped my neighbors’ peace and quiet and the integrity of physical objects being around my son but I am sooo exasperated. This is every “Heat” fan’s, coach’s, player’s nightmare, the ONE think we COULD NOT let happen. EVERYone, EVERYone: “Fast start key to the game! Fast start!”—and then we come out and lay an egg. My son was saying, “Dad, it’s the middle of the firsy quarter!”—so I stayed a few mins more. We went on an 8-0 run and then…these games are maddening to predict beforehand but soo predictable once they get going, Boston made up the run. It’s tortoise and hare. When they get a big lead, we’re fucked! FUCKED. I told my son, “Son, normally, ‘It’s only the middle of the first quarter!’ would be the rational response. In this series, the start is determinative. It’s over, the game’s over.” Just a nightmare…Shoulda started U.D.
