maybe tatum will score 100 points

I’ve never seen a player walk over to the refs to jaw at them after a free throw like bron just did...literally anyone else in the league that’s a technical foul

big win for da suns baby

cp said in his very emotional post game interview that monty said he was gonna sit him and he vetoed lol way to make yr coach look good

Great win for the suns wow

love this suns team man

Lakers need both AD and Lebron to be fully engaged to beat them

tatum is good at drawing fouls now i guess, pretty cool

Lebron kinda checked out after brow went out

he tried for a while in the 4th but just is really not moving well

its surprising every time kd misses he gets such clean looks

1st quarter

Nets are 14/14 at the line. Celtics are 10/10.

are there any nets fans? is there one nets fan?

people in the building saying there was some guy going so nuts in the front row the users had to tell him to calm down, so thats one at least

This Nets team is as joyless and unlikeable as everyone said the Heatles were

I bet that guy just loves basketball that’s the only explanation, joy for the game amen

main thing the nets have going for them is their arena has comfy seats

Nets/Clippers would be a joyless finals for the ages

shout out to Jeff Green wearing a Pink Floyd shirt

if the finals were nets & clippers i would become a baseball guy and support the yankees and dodgers and i would wear a fitted baseball hat all day every day

sorry Celtics fans, my daughter is watching with me and has informed me the Celts are "pulling a Vikings"

lol, unfair

you can't "pull a Vikings" if your team has performed like .500 team through 95% of the season

you're confused with the Timberwolves, Vikings do well enough to get in a position to disappoint

(Vikings are 7th in all time regular season winning percentage)

lol. this team is the best at respectable final scores in games where they never had a chance.

not confused here. pointing out that your daughter failed to notice the Celtics have been much too mediocre this season to "pull a Vikings", since they were never expected to advance past the first round. they are simply a lowly seventh seed being trounced by the second seed.

she's grounded

aaanyway was just supposed to be a kids say the darndest things post will do better in future

ffs

lol wow

i think there are some genuine nets fans, like brooklyn transplants who are basketball fans but weren’t attached to a team bcuz of where they came from or just the nature of basketball and didn’t become knicks fans bcuz they were garbage. and prob some ppl who grew up in brooklyn as well and have genuine borough pride.

i was listening to some podcast recently i think it was bomani and nick wright and they were talking about the difference between the nets and clippers, how the nets are in a knicks town but geographically
can carve out a small but meaningful distinction whereas the clippers play in the same arena as the lakers and have never made nor can make any sort of distinction and thus have fewer fans than, like, UCLA basketball. which isn’t to defend the current nets basketball project, just saying

ive been to a number of nets games and it did not seem like they had fans

clippers should move to the canyon and become the drifty acoustic guitar team

just a guy who doesn’t want media attention, no siree

i think nets whole approach was super lame every step of the way, first of all moving the team to new york at all new york already has a team move somewhere that doesnt have a team thats a no brainer, secondly calling it brooklyn you want to appeal to the whole city whats someone from queens supposed to do now its dumb, also getting super into the brooklyn marketing shit which is just corny and everyone was already sick of it anyway, jay-z being part owner biggie uniforms what have you all the most transparent corporate try hard bs, failed minimalist uniforms and court etc all booty, mostly new york sports teams are olde timey and people love it, new york goes wild for gritty old shit, they should have named them like the new york long shirts or something, thats another thing the name the nets is the most generic possible name that also happens to be cursed by association with a lame franchise, then the way they built the team just immediately traded for aging superstars which failed, and now they traded for better superstars but super teams are just not fun, they should have built organically get some homegrown young stars that the team couldve grow with that people could get into, not just hey heres james harden who btw is a huge weird asshole and will prob leave in two years, smh

haha kyries a bitch

boban getting into the game, carlisle is on tilt

if zinger cant play d might as well play boban hes a better scorer and rebounder

the idea that a large american city can support two teams in any of the big sports that have separate but equally viable fanbases with distinct cultures and history and values.......it has barely ever happened.

the clippers were also playing a really small lineup when they put boban in

finding a back up 5 who isn’t also a giant stiff would be a good offseason goal for the mavs
