    No longer affects me I have come to expect losses now, which is the overall result of losing.

    This.

    The problem with the post-game shows for long-time fans is that we have heard every excuse 20 times already.

    At this point, the only thing that would lure me back to the post-game shows would be if they responded to losses with Lovecraftian rituals and human sacrifice. You know - something constructive!

    I tell the board that we suck even though were pretty good so that when we lose I can rub it in everybody's nose about how Batum sucks and Paul George is better...

    Oh wait.

    Seriously though. After we lose I tune everything out. When we have a big win I can't get enough national media attention. I like to look around to see what all the talking heads are saying. I could care less about the 5th quarter and what Jay 'Freakin' Allen has to say. Never have really cared to listen to the 5th quarter type stuff.

    I used to take losses much more seriously. I was inconsolable as a kid with losses. Especially playoff losses. After the years though I've grown up and become used to losing. So it doesn't sting as much.
