nba playoffs aka the 'offs (which includes the 'ins) 2021

and randle has turned into a pumpkin

The mavs are a great organization because they made 2 great draft picks in 23 years

(sorry to be continuing this conversation but i was on a plane for the last 3 hours)

(i’m rooting for the hawks)

i'm on a plane (mmmmm)
i still complain (mmmm)

Jordan, I just read your posts upthread in stephen a smith’s voice, and i got some good chuckles out of it.

look at the mavs... drafting two hall of fame players that are going to give them 30 years of success... and they think they’re a good franchise. if only they had top 30 offensive player colin sexton then they might be onto something

trae is destroying the knicks werent they supposed to have good d whats goin on

Rip wizards. Rwb turned his ankle

russ shouldve been allowed to punch that guy once

randle is good again

The garden is rockin love to see it

knicks fans having to be excited about this team is so pathetic

omg let them live

scrappy underdog first round out is the exact type of knicks team i approve of

screaming your head off bcuz reggie bullock and julius randle might win you your first playoff game in 32 years........ could not be me

i think its sweet

Haha Jordan got no love in his heart for the knicks

i support the knicks and their fans as long as they're never actually a threat to win the east

it is sweet, and also i enjoy new yorkers taking something that's kind of shitty and convincing themselves that it's good

i have no idea how knicks fans remain so innocent and optimistic but i support it

it's weird because i don't get the sense that any other new york teams get the knicks treatment

yeah knicks fans are a special bunch, like mets fans are the most resigned fatalistic people in the world

also its hilarious and awesome that new york has a contending team in its very city and wildly prefers the knicks prob not getting out of the first round

people just don’t care

a couple times this year brian windhorst has had noted music journalist and native new yorker lisa robinson on his pod and her loathing of the nets (and 21st-century brooklyn itself if you listen for the subtext) is absolutely hysterical

the way the nets decided to be from famous brooklyn and leaned so hard on that corny marketing shit was i think a big mistake, they shouldve just been the new york [something not nets]

i need trae young to drive a stake into MSG’s heart tonight

you go to their games and they play jay z every other song and yell where brooklyn and its very lame

i’m a man of humble desires

imagine rooting for a team just because it’s contending!

lots of people do that tho

i need trae young to drive a stake into MSG’s heart tonight

congratulations to his coach for getting him back into the game

ancient balkan blood feuds

glad this insane conversation reminded me of the thing that should never be far from the forefront of my mind: vlade divac would not draft luka because of 2000 year old tribal raiding disputes

lol its one of the great nba details

i’m not saying knicks fans shouldn’t be rooting for this team just that it’s a pathetic collection of players to have to funnel all this energy into bcuz your team has been largely incompetent for 20 years

wha you dont like obi toppin

it’s a pathetic collection of players to have to funnel all this energy into bcuz your team has been largely incompetent for 20 years

this is like the main thing of sports fandom! you love your shitty guys! if they're overachieving it's the purest form!

otm

also do not discount that people are basically high as shit on being inside in public watching sports communally due to recent events

i’m sorry but anyone who roots for the knicks, mets and/or jets, i want them to experience no joy from sports in life. this is just what i’m about

i would be screaming my head off chugging beers if i were there, sounds amazing
