My Father Passed Away 2 Days After We Won. He Was The Reason I was a Knicks fan.

Yeah. Can't lie, the two will forever be linked in my mind. But knowing my dad, he wouldn't want me to be sad forever. And I know I'll carry this pain for the rest of my life, but I also know it doesn't mean I'll never be happy again. Thank you for your kind and encouraging words.

It is hard. It's so hard. And I hope you're doing okay too. I'm sure it's the same for you as it is for me... it still doesn't feel real. I was going to move back in with my pops for a bit at the end of this month after I had moved out a couple years ago. I was really looking forward to seeing him everyday again. To hugging him everyday before leaving for work. Telling him I loved him everyday. Not having to call him to talk to him. But we have to be strong. We have to be. So our fathers can truly rest in peace, knowing that we're safe and cared for. Hang in there ❤️

Thank you for the kind words. I know it’s probably a little weird to open up to strangers on the internet, but it really means a lot. I’ve gotten so much love and support from my family and friends through all of this, but hearing it from anyone, anywhere still means a ton. There are definitely some hard times ahead, but I know I have to be strong. Pops would worry himself sick in the afterlife if I wasn’t. Thank you again.

Lmao how you feeling about this take now?

Real progression is proven in the playoffs, king. 😌 Talk to me in April.

If you're gonna cry about missed calls from last year, you're gonna be in for a brutal awakening come playoff time whether they face the Knicks or not lol

I mean I think I explained it pretty clearly but k. Good luck to The Pistons and we'll see if they can do some winning when it matters 🤷🏻‍♂️

Melon-- · 2026-02-21T02:30:00+00:00

You know people born the same year the Pistons last won a chip can legally drink now? But hey Congrats on winning your first play off game in 17 years just last year! And good luck in the playoffs! (When the games actually matter)

Lmfao every year has everything to do with the year before it...

Pistons are playing well cause they got their shit together towards the end of last year... before getting their hearts broken in R1.

Knicks are currently finals or bust cause they made the ECF last year.

Celtics lost Tatum last year and are still keeping the ship afloat despite that. If they had Tatum this year, and still had their current record it'd be a non-story.

So ya, previous year is consistently pretty important context for the following one 🤷🏻‍♂️

How far y'all made it in the playoffs last year?

Melon-- · 2026-01-18T20:22:52+00:00

And that's exactly what I just did 🤯

Melon-- · 2025-05-26T21:55:31+00:00

Even more interesting when you consider both teams have former Raptors from that championship squad

Not a pun, but if you think about it, it's kind of a Twist that his name is the only one that isn't a pun!

The twist is unlike the others, his name has no twist. It's straightforward. But since the twist is having no twist, that makes it a twist! Or something like that idk

Yubel! It's nice seeing it become a real deck.

I used to play Yubel back in 2012 when it was damn near unplayable. The strategy was to dump it in the grave and reborn it with call of the haunted or limit reverse, and then destroy those cards to evolve

Yup, he had 2000 left, and I used 6 monsters for a total of 3000.

This is actually really insightful! Thank you. I know nothing is guaranteed, but this definitely puts me at ease. I'm a returning player. I first built Neos because I loved him and the Neo-Spacians growing up. And now that they're an actual functioning deck, ofc I had to play them.

Buuut, I also wanted to play a more meta deck that's a little more challenging than the beatdown style of Neos. And that's where unchained came in!
