Man I-Hart crashing the boards for that rebound and then threading the needle with the pass to OG while he’s crashing to the ground is just emblematic of what he’s given the team this year. What a gutty and skilled player please give this man all the monies. He’s earned it.

In reply to Bruno Almeida.

Look, we all saw the game, we all saw it was far from an ideal performance, but if you can’t get excited by what happened you’re either way too committed to a bit or way too cynical for it to be healthy. It’s fine to just enjoy things sometimes.

The more important thing to me is that I don’t think the Bucks or Pacers can do what the Sixers did here. The Celtics could, of course, but, well, we just have to either hope some other team upsets them first, or that the Knicks get lucky in the Conference Finals. That’s a fine place to be in the postseason.

this is waaay too good to get buried…well done Kaminari…
Letter home from the western front, 1917

Father, we are down 2-0 to Philadelphia and the shame I feel is unbearable. No matter how we struggle, they are simply the better team and they prey upon our many weaknesses like a jackal upon an unattended babe. Sergeant Hart is doing his best but he just can’t shoot and they know it. Captain Brunson is making mistake after mistake and we all know it yet what can we do, for it was his yeomanlike efforts that brought us here.

I fear that General Thibodeau has once again decided to send us out against them, and I must confess my knees are weak at the prospect. How are we to stop their Maxeyim machine guns, or their mighty Char emB1id* tanks?

We have lost this war, father, and we lost it before it began. There was never any hope, I see that now, and yet General Thibodeau expects us to march to our deaths all the same. I fear I shall not see the spring.

Sincerely,
Corporal Pagliacci

Yeah, TNT had a killer double header, all the drama in both games.

NBA should feel good about its product in the morning. Not as good as Knick fans and Nugget fans, of course. But very entertaining games, even for casual fans.

Wow. Darwin Ham now complaining about the refs. So everyone just complains about refs when you lose? Lakers losing a 20 point lead is their own doing.

I worry like Bruno that all this complaining is gonna influence the results in game 3.

In reply to oaktrees.

Celebrating this is delusional

I don’t see how that could possibly be supported. Would I prefer the Knicks handle the Sixers easier? Sure, but A. Come on, the Sixers clearly aren’t a bad team, just not as good as the Knicks, and B. When it comes to non-cakewalk opponents, wins are wins are wins. It’s not like this stuff carries over to the next round. Nothing in this series should suggest that the Bucks or Pacers will be able to match what the Sixers have done in this series. The Sixers have had the two best players on the court in both games, and they’re 0-2. That’s something to celebrate for sure.

Well, I don’t want a Pags share but I unjinxed Jokic and the Nuggets.

That was an amazng game. Was on a zoom during poker with someone who had a parley that was worth 14 going into the end of the Knicks game. Then they won. Then the Hurricanes won after being down with 2 minutes. And then he had the Nuggets to close it out. Won 1200. I don’t sports bet but that was a thrill ride.

Hell of a game too. Lebron is fucking amazing. I feel bad for him right now.
