I called the Celtics an overrated try hard team before the playoffs and I think that one might have set the land speed record for fastest time one of my takes went from contrarian to consensus. And here I am a week later worried about the shitty team that beat them?

I admit it: I have Maxey PTSD from game 5 in 2024. And I’m a little worried that Paul George got his money’s worth on that suspension and went full BALCO.

But fuck that. Knicks in 5.

Let’s get retarded, Director.

The 76ers are coming off a tough game 7 win on the road and the Knicks are rested and have been preparing for this matchup.

Pags at 4:42 p.m.: “I’m not a fucking idiot. I am an intelligent and thoughtful person. You can tell because I don’t call people childish names when I don’t like what they have to say, nor do I pout about a conversation being ‘ruined’ when that happens. You do those things.”

Backtrack to Pags at 3:18 p.m.: “Oh look, JK47 is gonna do crybaby whiner shit every time someone thinks the team might not win.”

I appreciate the stenography, Doogie, but that was a retort to JK47 where I borrowed his own phrasing. It also characterizes his conduct, not his character — not calling him names.

made me smile to see mike conley and ayo dosunmu on the court at the same time…that’s some serious next level gm’ing work done there…

like if we had picked up jose and somehow still kept yabujelly…no thanks though…

cross my fingers and hope for knicks in six…

gonna start noting the fools picking against us…

also expect nurse to ride the starters hard…hopefully our deeper roster and full court defense wears them down…

fresher players in the 4th quarters, i like our odds in the series…

I’ve been married to a catastrophizer for almost 30 years.

on behalf of your beloved, just like to say: to heck with you dear donnie…

there is absolutely zero wrong with fully expecting the worse to happen, in any and all circumstances…and, you know it’s also critically important to simply be aware of alllllll that can go wrong, so many things, so so many things…

also awareness leads to acceptance…your wife is simply being brave to worry for you…you should thank her…

just yesterday had binged a bunch of weird shit caught on video (tennessean snow is no joke, yuch yuch yuch) in 2026…so, later in the day driving along on the I10 looking up at some serious ominous looking clouds – fully – expected to see some lights and spaceships, cuz you know, it seems shit like that happens…

and you what, haaaad something occurred, i’d have been pretty okay with the situation…

future proofing isn’t for everyone, only those brave enough to bear the burden…hero your partner is i say…
