Two games into the season, first loss last night. Is this where we start to lose the FMFFL1? The same fans that completely lost faith when we let Tyson Chandler and Barea go? The ones that threw in the towel when Jet and Kidd left the city and then threw an "Everything is Bigger in Texas"-sized fit when Deron chose Brooklyn this past June.
All the fakers had given up before the season, or rather pre-season, even started. Who the hell is Melvin Ely2? Don't worry, FMFFL's, he did not make the cut.
And then the tip-off for the 2012 season happened. The hopeless Mavs3 beat Kobe and the respected Lakers. And just like that, there was a mountain of hope again. Talk of an undefeated season4 was in the air. Only to be quickly silenced 24 hours later. An all too familiar scene - Mavs blow their first half lead and lose to the Utah Jazz. All FMFFL quickly abandon the NBA season and turn to their fantasy football line-ups5.
We're 1-1. The season is not lost, my friends. Please do not jump on that Houston bandwagon6 just yet.

3 Not to be confused for the disappointing Cowboys.
4 People who speak of this are called, DFMFFL - Delusional Fake Mavs Fans For Life.
5 Is anyone really starting a Charger or a Chief tonight? Good luck with that.
6 There's a new beard in town at the Toyota Center, and he's got Houston-ites thinking Championship.
