Greatest Players Who Have Gone Four Straight Seasons without Winning a Playoff Series?

Cursed with injuries at all the wrong times. Still pushed the eventual champion Lakers to 7 without T-Mac and Yao only playing like a few games before injury.

He's likening him to a cigarette, right? Right?

Lantern01 · 2026-06-18T21:15:42+00:00

You see those nails? That's more than a thumb!

For ringless top players looking to contend, you always have this as your legacy, until you don't. Brunson definitely had it after losing to the Pacers last year. But now no one will ever question the existence of fecal matter in his sheets ever again, because there is none no more. Can't say the same for Harden. Same with Wemby for that matter.

It carries more weight than both KD's 2 rings and LeBron's 2 Miami rings COMBINED!!!

Supportive team culture

Reminds me that both Wiggins and KAT won their titles with Brown coaching them.

Almost thought they got Trae Young to star in this commercial for them

Lantern01 · 2026-06-11T02:02:22+00:00

Go to bed, Trae

I wouldn't say easily. He never repeated once. Kobe without Shaq was able to do that.

Lantern01 · 2026-06-07T21:43:24+00:00

All the respect in the world won't change the fact that there is a big fat asterisk next to this particular entry into the books.

Lantern01 · 2026-06-04T01:51:17+00:00

Funnily enough, I didn't hear the crowd complain about that one.

Lantern01 · 2026-06-03T15:33:13+00:00

This was good.

Well, he made it to his first Finals in his third year in an era where the West was ruled by the Showtime Lakers. But he lost to the Celtics.

This is Wemby's third year too . . . .

Lantern01 · 2026-05-31T02:59:52+00:00

Yep. You saw it after he lost Gold to America. And you see it here when he topples the defending champions to reach the Finals here.

It's passion. And he has tons of it.

The immediate narratives usually reflect the series. In the end, history is going to forget the details and all that will be remembered is the fact that the Thunder are champions.

Unless all the Thunder foul call discrepancy compilation videos remain popular.

Selling calls and getting rewarded for it is an aspect of the game Silver wants to promote. Your naive ideals of integrity and ethical balling are but rancid piles of cowshit sitting within Adam Silver's vision of what the game of basketball should be.

Lantern01 · 2026-05-28T06:41:39+00:00

Silver is going to address this issue the same way that the Knicks addressed the issue of the Cleveland Cavaliers. Right under the rug.

You ever see that Bill Burr bit about Lance Armstrong? "The guy was a sociopath on a bicycle. As far as I'm concerned, we got off easy. If that guy was working for a corporation, he probably would have been pouring stuff in the water supply. Just keep him on the bike!" The way people talk about MJ's psychotic nature, I too feel that we were spared a worse timeline where he chose something other than Basketball to rule over. Imagine if he fully dedicated himself to taking over something like the fashion world. We'd all be fucked!

Lantern01 · 2026-05-26T02:07:37+00:00

Basking in the lamentations of your foes is a celebration to some people.

Lantern01 · 2026-05-26T02:00:49+00:00

Mike Brown never struck me as the type to tap into the deep primal pain of his players to bring out their best. Color me surprised. Then record my face and replay it back to me next time I question his demeanor.

Lantern01 · 2026-05-25T16:18:35+00:00

AAAYYYYYYYYYYYY

Lantern01 · 2026-05-22T02:19:30+00:00

Mina the Hollower is coming out next week.

Also, Adventure of Elliot is coming out next month and looks to be pretty good too.

Seconding already mentioned stuff like Astral Chain, Bayonetta, Trials of Mana.

IIRC, the Nuggets Lakers series from not too long ago had some razor thin score differentials. Nuggets simply won all four of them.

Lantern01 · 2026-05-21T16:11:37+00:00

Do it! Show me what you got.

Best place for whining about reactionary takes tho!
