My other favorite one of his is more guys have walked on the moon than scored off Rivera in the postseason

Dudes been retired for 13 years and no one has even gotten close to being as automatic as he was. It’s actually mind-boggling he was that good for that long.

Explain in nba terms

I was going to object that the roster size of the Atlanta Hawks is 15, but they only went ten deep (or maybe eleven?) during the games they won so your point stands up just fine.

Is this joke more funny or less funny now that Mahomes has spent the past 3 years as pretty much dead average statistically?

“they only did that because they did that”

Thank you no-flair bro

But also flair up its 2026 my dude

It’s okay. I was defending the Pacers during the draft lottery. We can hate each other but also have some respect.

I mean they’re both suffering from injuries to very important players so your chances are looking better and better.

Nah bro have faith in your team. Knicks have honestly been impressive in their play so far. Brunson being able to step back and defer to his team in some games and being able to step up and completely take over is reminding me of Hali’s run last year. 

OKC and Spurs are tough but beatable teams. And if you do beat them no one can discount your run like 2023 nuggets.

But think about it! Beating them would just solidify everything

I really want the Spurs tbh. I don’t think he can do it by himself and we match up well with that big fucker.

Maybe we’re the juggernaut….

The Knicks are the juggarnaut bruh don’t you see the numbers.

Spurs aren’t a bad matchup. Unironically Mitchell Robinson dogs Wemby. It’s just a matchup nightmare cause Wemby genuinely can’t grab a board for his life against Robinson.

So was everyone just bad in the NBA except Denver? It’s not like those series just happened, the teams they beat won their previous series against the top seeds. If Denver had beaten the 2 seeded Grizzlies or 1 seeded Celtics instead people would be talking about how fraudulent they were for almost losing to the lower seeds.

what did you want us to do. Lose?

Suns were favorites to win the series and favorites to go to finals going into playoffs, KD was undefeated when playing with the suns CP went down but they were losing at the time but still.

Lakers were also the best team in the west record wise after their trades and to close the season.

Curious would you think Denver had a harder road if they had to play the 2nd or 3rd seed Kings? oh noo a big bad 50+ win team. It’s almost like getting 1st seed gives you “easier” matchups when in fact their “easy” matchups were the 1st and 4th favorites to win the west and the other was the 8th seed wolves who Denver themselves said was the hardest series overall, imagine getting that as your first round as a 1st seed

Why didn’t the Celtics beat the heat? Are they stupid?

develop what bench? Thibs didnt have CLarkson, Alvarado, and didn’t have mitch most of last season. even Shamet was out for months before the season last year. Knicks had zero depth most of last season, they needed a season to replenish it.

We actually played the Thunder much better this year than last year.

Yeah I’m sure Jalen Brunson is reading this and getting just fuckin steamed about it

• Josh Hart

Its literally Drake

Today they actually game planned him really well and limited his shot selection and contested almost everything. Too bad he also had 14 assists tho.

Honestly, I thought he was Gen Z but he’s right at the cutoff.

He burned it down instead. 

They played hard enough while preserving their bodies for a deep playoff run. They also tried a lot of things and we’re being rewarded now with the ability to change styles game to game & within games.

bro did you watch most of the season? we did look incredibly mid like the person you responded to said.

we mostly beat teams we were supposed to, but were just above .500 against playoff teams. identity wasn’t clear, we had a 1-6 stretch, and defense was just around league average before the all star break - the # of open 3 point attempts allowed looked absurd. now we’re watching a team that’s elite and disciplined on both sides of the floor during the most important 9 game stretch.

i think “incredibly mid” translates more to “ did not look like an actual contender” in this context

Chill, your team is my east team, if ant ain’t getting a ring I want kat to get one. Knicks finished with 4 more wins than wolves and both teams were extremely inconsistent, going on big win streaks then loss streaks. Accounting for west teams having more games against 0.500 teams, we had pretty similar reg season

It’s honestly outrageous that anyone would disparage an Emirates Cup-winning basketball team

Particularly coming from the 6th seed out West

I swear I was losing my mind, 2019 McCollum was out there
