Is it just me, or does every single preseason and training camp feel like the "year of destiny" for certain franchises? Every time a new season approaches, the energy shifts, the media starts circling, and suddenly everyone is acting like the drought is finally over. It’s infectious, sure, but it also makes me a little cynical.
I’ve lived through enough of these cycles to know that enthusiasm is easy; it's the actual grind of the season that usually kills the vibe. You see these massive shifts in momentum during the summer, and it feels like the whole city is holding its breath, waiting for a breakthrough that might not be coming. It’s a rollercoaster of high expectations followed by the inevitable reality check.
Do you guys think this kind of preseason optimism is actually healthy for a team's chemistry, or is it just setting them up for a massive letdown once things get tough?
