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

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

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

you need to include yankee fans in your list of people who should suffer even if its not the right league, theyre really the ones

i understand that

one knicks fan i support is julius randle’s son

lmao that kid is killing me

he's super cute

de’andre hunter looking gun shy tonight

way too much gallo down the stretch

gallo doesnt seem to really get the hawks scheme

idk what was going on with john collins either. one of those two guys needs to play well

that’s what happens when you give yourself zangief hair

congrats to the knicks for their big playoff win

can the hawks justify maxing collins out if he’s not in their crunch time 5 come playoff time

may not be entirely their choice if he signs an offer sheet somewhere

but yeah its a Concern

think they prob have to do it even tho its not ideal, maybe they can sign and trade him idk

yeah. they could sign and trade him tho might not be the worst idea

Seriously where the fuck is John Collins!!!!

wow the crap ass knicks won a game, the fans in the garden should be happy and then hang their heads in shame for experiencing joy

Capela’s been quiet on offense too. And fucking Gallo. Also terrible rotation by Nate
