I have no idea from game to game.

That's it...and none of the national pundits have any idea what's going to happen game to game either. It seems like the team that is being most disrespected gets up for the game. If past is prologue, Game 3 could be a good one for us. But what do I know?

My other passion project in life besides consuming wolves content is golf and both things share a rather unique quirk that motivates attention to it and its unpredictable results garners from repeated predictable input.

Day to day either activity could lead to extreme satisfaction and logical results. The next day it could feel like the first time and nothing makes sense.

Over time there are less days that randomly don’t make sense, But they still pop up.

A golf podcast I listen to posited that if there was a constant and predictable result the desire to provide the input dissipates over time. If every time you pull a slot machine handle you hit the jackpot it’s a lot of fun for about a week…then at some point you get bored because it’s not a puzzle to solve.

This damn team is the ultimate test or trap depending on your point of view for someone who would rather frustrate themselves with a puzzle than causally pop in and out for the jackpot.

Who wants to put together the board golf tournament? Vegas during summer league?
