GDT: Charlotte Hornets and other NBA talk part 2

[AhosDatsyukian]

Let’s go Knicks! 1 more to go to knock off defending champs and make America happy. And Tatum probably done for with achilles

 

[Finlandia WOAT]

This is so obvious lol

 

[HisIceness]

Looking like a Knicks vs Pacers ECF

frakin SURREAL.

Do feel bad for Tatum, though. Sports are cruel, man.

 

[Bunch of Jurcos]

Rooting for the Knicks to win it all because some men just want to watch the world burn. It’s me. I’m some men.

 

[MrazeksVengeance]

I am fairly fine with anyone winning NBA at this point.

Indy, OKC and TWolves never won. Knicks suffered for ages. And I generally cheer for Nuggets.

Going into playoffs all I cared was that Boston got eliminated. Sucks that their best player had a serious injury as a part of it but I kinda think the Knicks would’ve won anyways. I’m completely cool with any team winning it as well but do have a soft spot for the Knicks and Wolves. Knicks just because they play good team basketball, are a fun organization historically and a hilarious fan base (I know some overlap with rags fans but overall the fanbases’ behavior is very different. Wolves, all my family is from Minnesota so I have a soft spot for all their teams but especially the Wolves. Would love that finals matchup. Mainly just want to see great games and close series’ from here on out.

I have Minnesota and Thunder below the other 3.

I want Nuggets to win and I don’t love Ant.

 

[HisIceness]

Depending on what happens in the Nuggets vs Thunder game 7, I could very easily see the Timberwolves winning against both.

 

[3CanesInTheBox]

Hoping my Pops' builds a bunker in Manhattan, because that city will burn to the ground if they make it to the Finals.

In my experience Knicks fans are kinda like Mets fans. They know their team is crap more often than not so they actually appreciate when the team IS of that caliber even knowing that usually they're on the wrong end of the equation in the end because that's just what happens to those teams. Rangers fans have more in common with the Yankees fans, without the historical relevance to back it up.

I mean Nuggets would be going in playing 4 more games than them.

I just want Russ to win a title…

 

[HisIceness]

Well OKC is completely dominating today. A friendly reminder that the Hornets drafted likely MVP SGA but he never played a game in purple and teal.

 

[skipnjump]

Being from Indianapolis, I'm cheering for Indy.

 

[3CanesInTheBox]

Now THAT’s a bad way to lose a game 1 at home in the semis.

This damn team.

 

[HisIceness]

I wonder if Haliburton could perhaps be a good Hockey player he's definitely clutch

With our luck he'd probably sign with Florida too.

ETA:

The fam all chipped in to get my dad tix tonight for I'll just say a "momentous" birthday and not call him old LOL. He and my sis had fun, but one of the first things he just said to me on the phone coming out was "Well, God is still up there, so..." Knicks got my Pops counting his blessings, I can't.

The life of a tortured Knicks fan LOLOLOL>

 

[HisIceness]

Yeah it kinda looks like the Pacers have the EC wrapped up.

 

[3CanesInTheBox]

Gonna choose Life today and not watch the Knicks. @skipnjump may the best team win.

 

[3CanesInTheBox]

The Knicks are a terrorist organization.

 

[HisIceness]

Looks like it's going to be Pacers vs Thunder

 

[3CanesInTheBox]

The small grace is that I actually just burst out laughing when Toppin (an ex-Knick) hit the dagger. The chains are broken. But, and I am not joking--if I ever have kids, I refuse to raise them as Knicks fans.

 

[AhosDatsyukian]

Prefer NY-MIN but yeah this looks likely. I’m glad the league has had parity lately and we have 2 new finalists either way but this is the matchup that least interests me. I think OKC will dominate this matchup.

 

[HisIceness]

OKC is the youngest team in the league, won 68 games, won the WC, and has like 20 1st round picks from now until 2030.
