Pro fitbaw ends in two weeks, after an incredible Divisional round and absorbing Championship games. This climaxing ascent ends in a freefall into nothing, and I mean , leaving one hungry and forlorn. Like when two souls find love, but separate forever after one night of cavorting, flirting, and filth. This
