Totally agree, but I'd rather be heartbroken than humiliated...
Why? That happens to you every day when you walk into work.

Weak. Very very weak. I would have said I thought you were better than that but I know better. Troll.

Heel fans are to the point where they argue that their starting lineup is better that another's......geez. Next they'll be arguing that Roy's combover is better than K's.

That Zion starting thing is funny though. That's digging pretty deep to try and save any chance of a face. Next will be, "I know you are but what am I?" Heh

I have never been much into moral victories. A loss is a loss. It goes into the books as a L. Finding some comfort or pride in a narrow loss isn't my bag. To each their own, though.

Pointing out the emotional and analytical difference b/w a close loss and a blowout isn't claiming moral victory. But if you just want to be a robot and bellow in a robotic voice "that was a loss, that was a win, that was a loss" and not recognize any emotional or analytical aspect of it, go ahead. But I am not a robot, I am a human being...

Hating a loss less because you didn't lose by a lot is the very definition of a moral victory - especially when touting it as a superior loss in comparison to another's loss by more points. "WE LOST, BUT BY LESS!" just isn't my thing. If it is yours, good for you. I shant try to dissuade you.

It's not Carolina's fault Zion couldn't or wouldn't play in the 2 games. The one he did play came down to a rim out at the buzzer on a night when UNC shot terribly. Carolina dominated the other 2 games. Case closed.

Kentucky can definitely claim 2019 dominion over UNC but not dook.
