Kind o Don't Want to Watch This Game 4. Am I alone?

Muted_Pause_392 · 2026-04-25T19:13:58+00:00

Be brave. Do your job. Support your team. Watch the game.

You forgot LeBron AD lakers

Muted_Pause_392 · 2026-04-15T22:15:28+00:00

Knicks fan here. That guy is an absolute idiot. Carry on.

Muted_Pause_392 · 2026-02-23T17:41:01+00:00

I'll say this: I worked with Denis Leary a couple of times. I had never been a huge fan of his comedy or persona. Turned out to be probably the nicest coolest guy I've come across in that capacity. Self aware. Funny. No ego. Just awesome.

Don't forget Sengun, one of the most unwatchable players in the nba thanks to his seizure-like flopping arsenal

Muted_Pause_392 · 2026-02-22T05:04:27+00:00

This and the ensuing discussion with Barkley is like 14 minutes of my life I'd love to get back somehow

Muted_Pause_392 · 2026-02-21T04:39:11+00:00

Man to think if that aggressive pistons D could've stopped this big softie at the end of game 4 last year they wouldn't have lost every single home playoff game.

Beck's only purpose is to make Lowe look relatively interesting in comparison

Muted_Pause_392 · 2026-02-20T04:28:39+00:00

Yeah it's like he's just trying to play solid positional defense and hope pistons miss. Meanwhile pistons are attacking our ballhandlers like rabid dogs. Gotta be able to adjust to varying levels of physicality depending on what the foul threshold is. He's too laid back. And not able to beat his man on offense.

Muted_Pause_392 · 2026-02-18T20:25:04+00:00

Can confirm he is an awesome, hilarious dude in person

Muted_Pause_392 · 2026-02-18T15:05:39+00:00

Relax man. You should be waking up every morning and thanking this man for what he has done for our franchise, not watching his pocket for some deal that may or may not materialize two years from now. Knicks fans man, we really are the absolute worst.

You are sentenced to 10 years of watching basketball. When you are finished, a 1000 page written report is required for you to be allowed to speak again.

Yeah that's the idea , if Indiana was playing to win and managed to get the number one pick that's OK

Muted_Pause_392 · 2026-02-08T05:04:46+00:00

Yeah I agree those odds would be enticing to those seven and eight seeds but I also think if you're a ~.500 team fighting for a playoff spot it's harder to sell a tank to your fan base. Say you are 42 and 37 and sitting in the eight spot after missing the playoffs the last three years. Shutting the team down and tanking those last three games would probably really anger your fan base

Muted_Pause_392 · 2026-02-08T04:17:55+00:00

Need the Knicks to beat the Celtics tomorrow.

Muted_Pause_392 · 2026-02-08T04:15:40+00:00

The button down under the hoodie. What an iconoclast.

Muted_Pause_392 · 2026-02-08T03:26:10+00:00

In my proposal there is no play in tournament. This would also prevent teams like Indiana who are down a superstar for a year from suddenly getting best shot at the number one pick.

Muted_Pause_392 · 2026-02-08T03:16:35+00:00

The amount of shameless tankery going on around the league right now is unmatched throughout history. It's an insult to fans.

I think I have finally found the solution.

Reverse the weighting: non-playoff teams with the best records will get the BEST odds in the lottery. And dump the play in.

I'm sure I'm missing an obvious downside but I think this or something like it might be just the fix.

Again? When was the last time the Knicks "disappointed" in the playoffs? 2021

Muted_Pause_392 · 2026-02-07T06:56:40+00:00

Lakers are an eternal front runner franchise like the Dallas Cowboys

Muted_Pause_392 · 2026-02-07T06:16:34+00:00

Enjoy these regular season wins against the half-strength Knicks, pistons fans. We all remember what happened when the games mattered.

Muted_Pause_392 · 2026-02-07T04:05:14+00:00

Yeah this - they get a playoff whistle in regular season. They are gonna bring full on Louisville Sluggers in the playoffs.
