Hot take: Loyalty as a fanbase is overrated. If I was a Cowboys fan, I would jump ship at this point. If the team does not care about winning, you have no reason to be loyal to that.

An ex Oakland A's fan
Why does YouTube look like this?
Never felt so sick for a team as a neutral fan. What a freaking run by Indiana and prayers up to Hali man
I'll take a look after the season
I saw a bunch of people shitting on Thibs for his terrible rotations. He made the gutsiest decision benching Brunson in the 4th tonight and that saved their season
The Knicks actually stepped up to him. There's so many times where OG was just standing back and letting him shoot which really confused me when he made that 3rd one. Man shot 43% from 3 this year so he's capable of making them
Few thoughts:
Not sure if its just hindsight, but I did not like fouling Nesmith up 3. I get the idea, but he would have to tiptoe the baseline and throw up a shot. That foul by OG bailed him out of a bad spot. I get Nesmith was going crazy, but it could have been prevented if...
(1/2)
Pacers gotta be the clutchest team ever bro. What a freaking game
I know Randle had a good game statistically and played great in the playoffs but OKC is gonna live with him shooting over the defense instead of overpowering them
With that said though, the story tonight is that Minnesota could not dribble against the Thunder defense and resorted to taking 51 threes instead. They need to bully OKC if they want any chance of winning this series
The Shai grifting is actually getting ridiculous. Usually don't focus on that but this is baaaad
Ppl are way too caught up with Caruso grabbing Jokic and don't realize that the Thunder basically had 3 defenders zoned up on Jokic the whole time. Even if he catches the ball, there's no chance he can do what he normally does. This is just taking advantage of Denver's clunky roster
lmao no way this shit's not rigged
The Pacers offense is so nice
Why has Jimmy Butler not touched the ball the last few mins?
Okc's offense looks scarily similar to Boston's offense those last 10 minutes of the game
Boston, Indiana, Minnesota and OKC
they should win whether he's out or not tbh. Whether they will is another story
This has gotta be one of the best playoffs ever
The craziest part about tonight wasn't even Hield's scoring but the fact that the Warriors trusted him to guard VanVleet in the 4th quarter
The Rockets 2 big zone is maybe the most unique defense I've ever seen. Been watching it for 2 hours and still don't have a great grasp of it
These last two games were Ant's best games of his career. The decision making and understanding of how to take on this shell has been immaculate
Rudy Gobert has played amazing isolation defense, but man his hands are so bad
Haven't watched the Knicks much. Will try and watch some this series
Jalen Green is singlehandedly selling this game
Predictions for the 1st round:
East:
Cavs in 5
Celtics in 5
Knicks in 7
Pacers in 6
West:
OKC in 4
Warriors in 7
Lakers in 5
Clippers in 6
Clips definitely got a chance of making serious noise if (big if) Kawhi can play more than a handful of games
What series are yall most looking forward to and why?
Appreciate it man! Think he's a good player that would have been a better fit in the early 2000s. It's still amazing that he's been this productive, but I wouldn't feel comfortable with him as the guy. He's a good scorer and a decent playmaker, but you gotta be really good at both to be the guy
That's really the biggest difference between someone like Luka and Booker. Luka had a much worse roster before Kyrie came and he made that Mavs offense go because he could consistently beat the blitz. If Booker could do that, the Suns would just need some defense to be relevant
