the few guys i am talking about also refer to themselves as being "oldschool" about everything in a manner very similar to sopranos guys i really very much do not like them

they sound like real *in a boston accent* charmers

its pretty funny that boston via afflecks has this reputation as a gritty old school white guy city i mean theres def that but its also the most educated and one of the richest cities in the country imo the most accurate filmic depiction of the city was spotlight

tbrr the key reason I hate the Celtics is that my friend’s dad was from Boston and was a fan and one day in hs he was like “you guys wanna play a game of Risk?” in his strong Boston accent and he was wearing a Bird jersey and we played and he brutalized us like we were hapless babies and I have hated the celtics ever since this is my truth

Incredible, I feel like I was there.

This reminds of two (older) brothers who lived across the street from me when I was age 4-10 and I went over to their house to play monopoly one time and saw a couple of small white rings on their monopoly board where the board surface had come up and I asked them, "what's that?", and the older brother told me that when the younger brother would go to the bathroom in the middle of a game the older brother would superglue down the younger's top hat or thimble token which had to then be pried off the board.

I love Boston the city.

and fwiw the city of boston is majority non white tho iirc if you take the metro area its still pretty white tho not nearly to the extent that say portland is, culturally its def pretty segregated and feels dominated by various whiteness (the different ethnic whites + the wasps), thats one thing i missed living away from the east coast, in the rest of the country white people are mostly just like generic white people like on tv commercials, but in the ne youve got a bunch of particular type of whites which is more interesting

I remember growing up and older people would tell me they had picked a side on the 80s Celtics vs lakers rivalry and I was always confused by why a person from Texas wouldn’t just enjoy both teams

the rivalry that tore a nation apart

well, well did they prefer "tough, lunch pail guys who lace em up" or "flashy hot shots"?

Good thing the Bucks have the DPOY

turning on your boy huh?

No just frustrated, the Heat are scoring at will

lol at jimmy breakdancing w lopez

why does iggy's jersey say "group economics"?

bledsoe has been the bucks second best player tonight

bledsoe being good woudl swing things.

him taking dragic and herro off the dribble has been better offense than giannis bulldozing his way into 4 guys and falling over

why does iggy's jersey say "group economics"?

i figure it's code for "socialism now". iggy is a thinking man.

Bucks taking so many bad midrange shots

In 2014, as they neared a vote on who would be the next executive director of their union, dozens of NBA player representatives and members of the executive committee convened at Aria in Las Vegas to interview a few finalists. David West attended in an advisory role, and his main focus was to question the candidates on one issue: What do you think about Group Economics?

clay's description of boston sports fans who are not from boston and aspire to go to boston is so utterly foreign to me. like dude you might was well be telling me about the sentient chlorine-breathing tenticled alien detroit pistons fans you run into now and then.

my theory is boondock saints really got in the heads of certain people who saw it at just the wrong time in their lives

boondock saints is prob the biggest red flag in the world

even given his obvious limitations, it's crazy how many teams passed on herro knowing the way the game is currently played. his shot is just deadly

Bucks killin it in 5th Chance points

How the fuck does a championship team turn it over on 3 straight possessions in crunch time

i've never seen boondock saints, it's probably too late for me to even do it ironically

oh jimmy

n.b. i have also never seen boondock saints lol but in this case i merely live and breathe

There’s no way butler got that pass off before stepping out of bounds, second time in two nights they’ve blown that call

lol that was an awful inbounds play lucky it worked out

are you kiddin me

what a terrible call

the fix is in

pretty much the textbook definition of tight three defense that is not a foul

I actually think that call is ok

Damn this game was over

The out of bounds call was really obvious tho and none of this happens without it

lol

lmao what even is this

love to see jump shot fouls decide the game

refs wilding out

What the fuck that was not a foul

utter absurdity ban the refs

the foul on the middleton three is just so hard for me to understand, the little forward motion they kept talking about on tv is just his natural forward momentum once he established his feet

every seen a playoff game decided by a makeup call lol

Yeah that definitely wasn’t either but losing on a make up call is really not fun

coach thorpe is a cop

I agree with both calls. Bad, bad defense.

the end of that game was the crowning achievement of bubble refereeing

Agreed

Bitching about refs is one of my least favorite things about sports but wtf was that shit
