The good news is that this game has built-in “we’re in such a great spot” even in the event of a loss, no matter how demoralizing. “3rd game in four nights,” “we were missing our backup center and the guy who would normally come in behind him,” “they have the best record and you won’t will all games against them,” “Joe just got back from [whatever reason he was out],” “look at our differential for the season!” “Look at our historic offense!” “Look at how good our record is this far into the season!” “Quin is not going to reveal his bag of tricks and he’s watching what Kerr is doing so he can exploit him if/when we meet in the playoffs!” “It’s just the regular season,” “we care more about the playoffs,” “etc.,“ “etc.!!” “¡etc.!!!!!!!111”
I’m going to boldly go on record to say that only a win will be a win, and a loss will be a loss. Interested to see how we approach this as I believe it will be more telling than anything else we’ve seen so far, for better or worse.
