Before getting involved with someone you are interested in dating, there are always things people do as precautionary matters in order to be successful in their pursuit of victory with said person of interest. Whether this includes texting them how their day was and the person actually responding with an in-depth answer rather than the typical “Good, and yours?” Or taking frequent visits to their social media accounts stalking… Excuse me, checking to see what they post about, what their interests are, etc. Regardless, plenty of thought goes into the game plan of how to get the girl (if you’re a girl, the guy) you want.

Same thing goes for the sport of basketball. Teams scout and game plan beforehand so that when the actual game starts, they can be prepared for what is going to occur. Nothing is worse than going into a game unprepared and then getting steamrolled by your opponent… Let me take that back. Nothing is worse than getting into a relationship without doing the proper research on the person, then you wind up miserable.

Both scenarios go hand in hand. Therefore during pre-game, make sure you know what you are getting into. Because if not, you just might find yourself getting into a LONGGGG game.
