Told you again and again, acknowleage the opponents

after the game, not before it (coaches may do that to the other coach, but not fans).

I did not like that Celtics beat my Pistons, but after they did, I goed them against the Lakers.

I admit I often loss interest quickly after games. You can continue your Monday morning QB--Sorry, I really rarely read, not even the newspapers after the game is finished. My excitement is before the games.
