It's one game, but there's a good amount of games behind this that led to this being a much more disappointing game than it should be. New team, new coach, new optimism, same result. There's a lot of 1st day jitters to get out of the way, but I hoped a trip to China, a long off-season, and years of being unprepared for game 1 would have led the way for a change of scenery.
I think the biggest piece of optimism in this this article is here:

That's a lot of garbage, but there are a couple fun seasons tucked in there. Hopefully we have a team that can finish those seasons differently..
