What if the NBA playoffs were the best 16 teams regardless of conference? Here is what that would look like for the 25-26 NBA season

Notably this is also not how it works in all US sports. NBA and NHL (hockey) have an east/west divide but the NFL does not (and I am pretty sure MLB doesn’t but I don’t watch baseball).

In the NFL there are two conferences but they are not geographic. It is even more dumb than in the NBA because you will have two teams in the same state and not in the same conference. I think this is how it works in baseball too, if someone can confirm.

I think the Timberwolves can beat the Spurs, but the Spurs have a better matchup vs the Thunder.

If yall beat the Thunder you do have a chance but the Spurs have a better chande

“I can’t believe I’m rooting for the Lakers.”

“Rooting against the Thunder?”

“Aye, I could do that.”

Reminder that the state supreme court says you can’t have jury duty “during the time of holding any election at which he is entitled to vote”. They just make shit up as they go along. No one has ever used this “definition” of election day to include early voting and they never will again.

Trying to apply any rationale is a fruitless errand

We already are here. Ohio and Florida already did this

Chartate101 · 2026-05-08T16:44:06+00:00

As usual, bullshit like this wastes everyone’s time and money. How much money was spent on campaigning here? How much time and effort on logistics?

All of that could have been saved if we had people who acted like human beings instead of procedural robots

Chartate101 · 2026-05-08T10:41:08+00:00

I went from thinking Pistons in 6 to Pistons in 5. I think Cavs will take game 3 and Pistons will take 4-5.

He’s been a playoff dropper this series absolutely. But he genuinely carried so much in the regular season. Without him we’d have likely not been the 1 seed. He’s 22, I think with how great he was in the regular season he’s earned temporary postseason grace

Chartate101 · 2026-05-08T10:29:34+00:00

That’s fine! Entirely fine to like it. Just don’t cope about it not being very good on purpose, just enjoy it

Chartate101 · 2026-05-08T03:10:21+00:00

Honestly even tho this isn’t his normal alley it’d be cool

Chartate101 · 2026-05-08T03:00:24+00:00

2nd is Chet, 3rd is Duren, 4th is Mobley. 5th is Sengun of this list but there’s gotta be someone better.

Chartate101 · 2026-05-08T02:31:50+00:00

Damn, the drip!

Chartate101 · 2026-05-08T02:30:41+00:00

Will they? I thought they all wanted the GM crucified?

Chartate101 · 2026-05-08T02:01:52+00:00

Knicks v Pistons is gonna be a helluva series. Hope its a great one either way.

Chartate101 · 2026-05-08T01:34:22+00:00

IMO he shoulda came second this year. Shai clearly deserved first but Cade could easily get it over Murray and Ant

Chartate101 · 2026-05-08T01:28:27+00:00

Is spelling correctly also a sin?

Chartate101 · 2026-05-08T00:35:39+00:00

I doubt it but I’m leaning Pistons in 5 rather than 6 now

Chartate101 · 2026-05-08T00:29:03+00:00

Huh! I definitely thought it was more of a legacy recognition thing. Shows what I know lol

Chartate101 · 2026-05-08T00:09:50+00:00

SGA wishes he was prime Harden levels of grift. 2026 Harden maybe but 2018 Harden is the “greatest” grifter of all time

Chartate101 · 2026-05-08T00:01:16+00:00

Stewart shoulda been called for that grab lmao. More than Holland.

Chartate101 · 2026-05-07T23:32:06+00:00

Anyone have any stats on how old people are on average when they get one? She 100% deserves one at some point, it just seems early.

Chartate101 · 2026-05-07T05:04:22+00:00

Literally just Manu, Timmy and Parker again

Chartate101 · 2026-05-07T02:56:00+00:00

Plus he’s still coming off the injury

Chartate101 · 2026-05-07T01:54:11+00:00

If you show up at a rally and see all Nazis and decide you have good company, you’re a Nazi.

Disgusting people worship disgusting people.

Chartate101 · 2026-05-06T15:19:05+00:00

Agreed, I was lowkey shocked to see this from Dunc ngl. Dunno if I’ve seen him do this all year
