What happened

Banner night turned into a 106-100 loss to Philadelphia, and one fan summed up the mood: "We raised an NBA championship banner tonight lmfao I still can't believe it." The week broke at Boston, a 107-103 defeat that pushed misery higher than anything the opener managed and prompted "Fuck the Patriots, the Bruins and fuck the Celtics." Then 111-102 to a Paolo-less Orlando, which fans called "really fucking annoying." At 0-3, the calls to fire Mike Brown arrived on schedule.
