In-game fan misery, every 15 minutes.
What happened
Three games, three blowouts, and a fanbase unsure where to put its hands. Anthony Edwards opened in Miami with 45 points, 10 rebounds and a plus-30 in a 131-106 win, prompting the MVP talk early. The turn came two nights later in Orlando: a 115-93 win where, as one fan noted, "We won by 22 and didn't even have a single player score at least 17." Toronto fell 117-94. At 3-0, someone declared them "NO LONGER THE WORST FRANCHISE IN NBA HISTORY" — low bar, cleared joyfully.
