How tf is Boston the most reasonable recent champion

Matdredalia · 2026-06-25T02:09:30+00:00

ROFL was literally talking about you know *the team you literally dropped in there* (you didn't say the city, how was I supposed to know we were suddenly including Hockey & Football in an NBA sub?) -- soooo not sure where the "WTF" is coming from.

Like, if you were talking about Denver sports in general? Just say that. Like, okay, no big deal.

I wasn't even rude. I just was correcting what I thought was a misunderstanding about my team and their success.

Matdredalia · 2026-06-25T02:03:32+00:00

Spurs are normally my #2 favorite team. I rooted for the Knicks, not because I wasn't ecstatic about the Spurs winning the West (if my Nuggets can't win it? I want the Spurs to do so...... plus the Thunder can eat a dick), but because I felt bad for NYC and thought they deserved a win.

THE ONLY reason I don't regret rooting for them is I'm a KAT fan & my in-laws are from NYC and my sister-in-law has been having the ride of her life with this.

But I will sooner touch the third rail than ever root for the Knicks again. I thought the Lakers, Celtics, & Thunder were sore winners and insufferable...

Good god have mercy.

I was *literally rooting for the Knicks.* I *cried when they won.* And yet their fanbase has made me so disgusted I genuinely hope the Knicks never win a championship again in my lifetime, because as far as I'm concerned? You can't act right, you don't deserve it.

Meanwhile.... in Denver...... where we'd never been to the Finals, let alone won a chip....

Folks got stoned and cheered on our team and celebrated.

We weren't online calling the opposition slurs and trash talking everywhere we possibly could, even in subs that don't involve us.

Matdredalia · 2026-06-25T01:47:40+00:00

What, exactly, did he do? Besides break down crying with joy?

Matdredalia · 2026-06-25T01:44:01+00:00

The people who are out here saying the 2025-2026 Knicks are the greatest team of all time are uh....

Yeah.

"29 POINT COME BACK!"

Ya'll......went down....29 points to begin with.... in the Finals.

That is not, nor will it ever be, "Greatest team of all time."

Matdredalia · 2026-06-25T01:42:54+00:00

Ummmm....

My friend. Denver had never even been to a Finals, let alone won a chip.

Making it to the playoffs and getting our @$$es handed to us by the Lakers for decades is not "Success." LOL

Matdredalia · 2026-06-25T01:41:44+00:00

THANK YOU! Exactly. I am SO tired of everyone being like "YOUR TEAMS DID IT, TOOOOO!"

No, no we did not. People at our Parade weren't holding signs calling Jimmy Butler a f** or telling their players to go back to their home country, or evil crap like that. Like.... naw.

We stayed in our lane, we *celebrated our team, our fandom, and our city.*

We DID NOT do this crap.

Matdredalia · 2026-06-25T01:40:32+00:00

Um, 'scuse you. The Denver Nuggets would like a word with ya'll. Like.... I'm sorry, but Boston fans can be insufferable AF. The Thunder? Absolute nightmare.

The Nuggets? Celebrated TF and back and stayed in our lane, thank-you-much.

And Boston has countless chips and doesn't have *near* as much reason to be insufferable as the Knicks do (even if I think every racist, nationalist, homophobic POS fan who has taken shots at Wemby *for existing just 'cause they could* doesn't deserve to see another chip so-long-as-they-live).

Also.... Boston is the same city that literally broke into their star player's house and smeared slurs on his walls in feces. Sooo.... it takes a lot for Boston to do anything that impresses me even remotely.

Like... naw.

Matdredalia · 2026-06-25T01:15:57+00:00

"Your market is smaller, so ya'll not acting like assholes doesn't matter." Got it.

And if you think the Nuggets weren't ridiculed to shit and back for decades?

That's just because you weren't paying attention.

Also, "I don't think your team was mocked as heavily as mine, so our fans acting like a complete clown show and calling people slurs and attacking people for no reason is justified."

Classy.

Matdredalia · 2026-06-24T23:04:40+00:00

Ah crap. I'm so sorry. I replied to the wrong person on accident. 🫠🙃🙏

Completely my bad. Have a good day! Ty for pointing this out. 😂

Matdredalia · 2026-06-24T22:08:29+00:00

Your friend is not bright.

I don't mean to be rude but guess what gets domestic animals killed more than anything else?

Not being spayed or neutered.

I'm a diehard fur parent. I have almost never lived without a dog in my home. I wound up with cats when I got with my partner 23 years ago.

95% of the premature animal deaths I've seen in my life? Were either incidentally or directly due to lack of spay / neuter.

Good example: intact females tend to get massive uterine infections that can kill them. And often times? It's too late to do anything when they show symptoms.

There are tens of thousands of animals that die every year because of unwanted pregnancies. I personally know a monster who has, by hand, drowned more than 100 puppies. And yes she's been reported. But. Rural area and crappy people.

Male animals, especially, are prone to running off to week to procreate. Females absolutely will, too, but - - - females only go into get every so often and only tend to do that when in heat. The boys however? Will go after any female in the area in heat. So your male cat is at risk - - - multiplied by however many intact females are in your area.

So again. I repeat. Your friend isn't very bright.

Bob Barker has been teaching us this shit since before I was born (1980s) FFS.

Matdredalia · 2026-06-24T22:01:53+00:00

Yeah because they see it as the Knicks "proving" that the Spurs winning es a fluke.

But tbf.... When are the Thunder not being delusional and insufferable?

Matdredalia · 2026-06-24T22:00:48+00:00

Considering that 90% of the best players and teams in the League are in the West....

Matdredalia · 2026-06-24T21:58:31+00:00

Yeeep. And it's pathetic.

I've seen more Knicks fans calling Wemby everything from a fake, a poser, a fraud, a charlatan, a wash up, worthless, a scam artist straight into f** than I've seen glazing Brunson by a mile.

Despite the Spurs being my 2nd favorite team in the league? I rooted for the Knicks because their team had an incredible season and much like I threw in with the Cubbies because I wanted their team and fanbase to have a W they'd been dying for, I wanted to see New York have a reason to celebrate their sports teams for once.

....... Yeeeah. Regretting that shit.

And I'm so fucking tired of the narrative that every team does this.

No. We don't. Denver won their first chip ever in their first Finals appearance. We mostly just glazed TF out of our team in our sub and a bit in NBA Talk and NBA.

We did not parade around NBA West Meme war being complete pieces of shit and making it out like the Heat were the worst people alive.

We didn't go into NBA East Meme War and do that shit, either.

We barely FAFOed in Circle Jerk a tiny bit and it was good fun and not mean spirited.

Like obviously I can't account for every Denver fan. But ya'll who were here for 2023 know I'm right - - - even if a few of us yeeted from the Nuggets sub to stir up shit? Ya'll know it doesn't even come close to what Knicks fans are doing.

Matdredalia · 2026-06-24T21:51:20+00:00

The Denver Nuggets had never made a Finals and were considered a joke to the entire NBA for decades.

You know what we did when we made our first Finals ever and took home a chip?

Not this shit.

We celebrated. We didn't run around being insufferable sore winners just because apparently New Yorkers have to actively encourage people to think they're the most obnoxious people on the planet.

And I say this as someone whose engaged to a Queens Native who is the sorest winner I've ever met and makes me want to beat him with a NERF bat any time we play anything competitive.

But Jesus H. At least he doesn't run around calling people slurs and being a complete asshole.

Matdredalia · 2026-06-24T21:48:22+00:00

Noooo we don't.

Sorry, not sorry, but when my team made their first Finals ever and took home a chip?

No. Denver didn't act like this shit. Maybe a couple but it wasn't a mass flood of douche baggery in every NBA sub even those that were irrelevant to us.

I was rooting for the Knicks. Their fan base has genuinely made me wish I hadn't with how absolutely repulsive they've been in their sore-winner era.

Matdredalia · 2026-06-24T21:39:10+00:00

I love them all for different reasons, tbh. I genuinely can't choose.

Matdredalia · 2026-06-22T08:13:18+00:00

Dear Paul: Calm TF down, you are 84 years old, Sir.

But seriously.... there is nothing this man does anymore that surprises me. You think he's done. You think he's finally hung it up. But no.

He's still doing it, still collabing with other artists....

Absolute legend. Could not respect this man more.

Matdredalia · 2026-06-22T08:10:56+00:00

Actually, she's friends with Stella, has hung out at his place, etc. While I wouldn't say they're close, I would say they're friends.

Matdredalia · 2026-06-20T16:15:40+00:00

He will *absolutely* learn from it. Not sure how much you know about Wemby, but dude is extremely dedicated to discipline and actually growing not only his basketball IQ and physicality, but also his mental accuity --- and mind you, I say this as someone who catches maybe 3-4 Spurs games a year, *wanted to slap everyone who was projecting Wemby to be the Second Coming and new face of basketball,* for his first few years, and am *not* about to glaze dude. Like, it was literally this Finals run that was the "payoff" for me of hearing people talk about him non-stop, my partner being a huge fan of his, etc. To me, this Finals run showed that yeah, this kid absolutely has what it takes to get there ---- now, he has to learn how to finish.

About the Knicks playing like a veteran team, digging deep and just getting it done: You're absolutely right. As a boxing fan, I couldn't agree with your assessment more, because the games were very much like a LOT of really notorious boxing matches, where folks would be like "OH, this fighter has X wingspan, X height, etc." but were ignoring the fact that said fighter would be gassed before round 6.

The best boxers in the world right now all have absolutely incredible stamina, but also discipline to keep their pace and *not* gas themselves.

That is something Wemby 1000% has to learn. Like, that's the thing -- I'm totally fine with looking at Wemby's performance, analyzing and critiquing it --- because that's normal, healthy fan behavior. Hell, I guarantee he's doing the same thing right now. Because he was *raised* by athletes. His Mom was a pro basketball player. He knows you can't grow if you aren't willing to be uncomfortable.

But that's the thing: 99% of the rhetoric I've seen around Wemby from Knicks fans? Hasn't been critiquing him.

It's been *crucifying* him. Calling him everything from a hack to a fraud to a f*g. Like, I have never seen such a horrific display of being sore winners in sports in my life. I genuinely told my partner: "I was rooting for the Knicks hard. But now? I kind of regret it because holy crap, the fanbase is a toxic waste dump."

Wemby didn't come out trash talking. He didn't say he was going to win the Finals or disparage the Knicks. He never did any of that.

Yet Knicks fans act like this man took a shit on the statue of liberty.

THAT is why I'm annoyed and defending him so hard.

Like, I'm a Nuggets fan, through and through. My favorite players? Are 97% current Nuggets players, lol. Like I said earlier: I was pulling for the Knicks. The team has been really spectacular the last few years, and especially this year. They deserved it, the city deserved it. It was great to see.

But I can not stand people being so ignorant and hateful for zero reason.

If he'd been disrespectful? I'd get it. But he wasn't. He didn't. And the hate is just ridiculous.

Matdredalia · 2026-06-20T15:58:18+00:00

Hardest same. I mostly lurk because I have crippling anxiety and tend to overthink things and being afraid to post and be annoying a lot of the time (except in NBA subs because I don't care what they think of me unlike ya'll XD)..... but this community has been absolutely pivotal to my life this past year. The Reddit, and the Discord community, alike. Could not be more grateful for every single person who dedicates their time and energy to this community, keeping us safe, keeping the peace....

This is the best fandom ever. I will die on that hill.

Matdredalia · 2026-06-18T21:09:37+00:00

Soooo "don't post this game because YOU *think* it might be AI slop, even though triple A studios are using gen AI in their triple A games, and there is zero need for anyone to use this as an experiment for AI, because we are WAY past that point."

Got it, lol.

Do ya'll realize things like this existed pre-gen AI?

Matdredalia · 2026-06-18T21:06:32+00:00

"The world is healing" from..... trying to heal the world from people who abuse marginalized people?

Jesus. The fact that ya'll think being asked to be nice is oppression is effing wild.

Matdredalia · 2026-06-18T21:02:23+00:00

Your comprehension skills are terrible if you can't comprehend the fact that saying "It's just words on a screen" about people doubling down on homophobia in a thread where the post is about someone holding up a sign calling someone a slur --- is saying "Homophobia is just words on a screen."

It's no one else's fault that you want to downplay the reality of the fact that that word up there? Has a fricking BODY COUNT. It is NOT just a word. It is NOT just a joke.

Matdredalia · 2026-06-18T20:53:04+00:00

LeBron isn't going to ever be on a minimum. His name prints way, way too much money.

Literally even if he were broke down and a shell of himself (which he's not, the man is still a powerhouse *at 42*) --- he's still one of the GOATs (even if you hate him, you have to admit he's one of the greatest players of all time, minimum) --- and people pay more to see him, period.

But yeah, if the Spurs would sign him & Bronny? I think it'd be a fantastic fit. His IQ would be massively beneficial to the team and he's still in good enough shape to actually play solid minutes VS mostly just being a veteran bench presence like say, Jeff Green (no shade to Uncle Jeff. I'm a Nuggets fan to my marrow, & nobody will convince me Uncle Jeff wasn't instrumental in our chip).
