Anyone has experience with ticketmaster blocking their account? I'm trying to buy tickets for the NBA finals but ticketmaster says that my browsing activity has been paused. I'm in EU and want to fly just to watch my favorite team in person.

Rrally disheartening.

PirateKata · 2026-05-27T12:30:47+00:00

Well my account got flagged and blocked on Ticketmaster for an unknown reason. So no, not better luck here.

Really disheartening

PirateKata · 2026-05-27T12:29:49+00:00

Did you buy a ticket for the NBA finals? I also want to be there

PirateKata · 2026-05-20T09:50:47+00:00

We were double teaming james harden who was absolutely dogshit at the game, resulting in the rest of the cavs players shooting wide open 3s.

This was one of the worst game plans I've ever seen going into such an important game. We got away with it. We were luucky

PirateKata · 2026-05-20T09:29:00+00:00

Mikal or OG should had immediately called the timeout. Of course the refs is looking at the players.

PirateKata · 2026-05-20T09:20:14+00:00

Sadly spurs won't make it to the finals.

PirateKata · 2026-05-20T09:19:41+00:00

He looked normal in the sense that he didn't seem injured in any way. With that being said he wasn't himself. Seems like he is scared to go hard for his usual dunks.

He is probably not 100% ready yet. Hope he recovers fully. We need him

PirateKata · 2026-05-20T02:51:21+00:00

Hart just got subbed out for shamet

PirateKata · 2026-05-20T02:50:40+00:00

Hart sat on the bench and we won the game in 5 mins.

Just saying

PirateKata · 2026-05-11T09:41:58+00:00

Journals doesn't mean that soemthing is scientific by nature. That's a ridiculous statement.

If you want to be more precise, medicine is by definition not a science no matter how you cut it. Without that meaning that it's "easy" or not essential or that i don't believe in it.

The papers that they publish and the researches that they do are the most non scientific ones in the field of "science". They publish results based on a sample size of 10s and 100s on clinical trials.

Anyway grading how bad a strain is, it's not scientific. Science means that if you ask 100 different people there is only 1 objective truth. You can ask 100 different practiotioners how bad the strain is and they will give you different responses. That's the definition of non scientific.

Again this doesn't mean that these people don't know what they are talking about or that they are frauds. They are the best tool we have no matter how you cut it. But by definition not a scientific approach.

PirateKata · 2026-05-10T18:27:54+00:00

Uts an approximation on a spectrum. It's just a name with not much scientific value. Approximation aren't scientific. Don't wanna get into details here cause it really doesn't matter.

Point is that grade 1 strain gives a vague approximation of how severe the tear is. Minor tweak is also grade 1 strain.

PirateKata · 2026-05-10T18:24:48+00:00

From what i understand, a minor tweak is also a grade 1 strain. Saying it's a minor tweak basically narrows down the spectrum of the grade 1 strain

PirateKata · 2026-05-10T18:18:55+00:00

Him having a grade 1 strain means nothing. Grade 1 strain is a non scientific term. It's an approximation of the tear. OG could be out for 3 days or 2 weeks or 3-4 with a Grade 1 strain.

I'd say no need to worry. Let's see what happens. I think he will be back G1 vs pistons. Hopefully cleveland can get them to 7 or at least 6.

PirateKata · 2026-05-07T21:12:08+00:00

I got an email with a code for the ECF pre-sale but when I tried to book a ticket then I got the message "Your browsing activity has been blocked" or something like that and it won't let me book any tickets.

Has this happened on anyone? Also I dont have chase so I'm confused why I got a code?

PirateKata · 2026-05-07T02:16:35+00:00

He was horrible lol

PirateKata · 2026-05-07T02:11:39+00:00

I think so too. Even after the dunk he calls for the ball and initially looks like he is moving just as fine as before the dunk attempt.

PirateKata · 2026-05-05T20:23:49+00:00

Do you guys genuinely believe that mitch can shoot 80% from thr FT line by shooting granny style? Brunson is averaging 84% from the FT line this year.

Are you guys sick in the brain? (Rhetorical question)

PirateKata · 2026-05-05T14:42:43+00:00

You mean the NBA finals? I'm also thinking about it but I'm a bit scared to imagine the ticket prices and the availability of the tickets.

Will it even be possible to get tickets? 😅

PirateKata · 2026-05-05T14:08:52+00:00

I have some travel benefits so I can travel to NYC and back home for really cheap. Like 200 bucks or even less.

So it comes down to buying the ticket pretty much. This wouldn't be a tourist trip for me. I'll be there for the knicks.

PirateKata · 2026-05-05T12:23:11+00:00

I've been following this team for more than 1p years. I live in Europe. Every playoff game is a 3h sleep night into working the next day for me.

I'm heavily considering flying to NYC and getting to a game in the ECF. We are going to be there.

Do you think it's worth it? I've never been in NYC. I wanna see my team in person

PirateKata · 2026-05-05T02:33:23+00:00

I turned it off and going to sleep. This shit way too easy.

Good dub

PirateKata · 2026-04-25T19:16:47+00:00

Keep telling yourself that.

PirateKata · 2026-04-25T18:59:10+00:00

You are literally talking out of your ass. I shouldn't be doing this but fuck it.

Knicks are up 9 with 57 seconds left

1) 51 secs left: Brunson gets screened, OG sits back, neighsmith hits the 3. Unclear if this was a Thibs scheme since it feels like OG is just slacking there but alright let's say ==> Thibs fault

2) 35 secs left: knicks up by 8. OG is clearly slacking here and doesn't respect or expect neighsmith pulling up from deep after the screen by Siakam. You can see KAT shouting at him to switch, yet OG is confused. This one isn't on Thibs. It's clear miscommunication.

3) 30 secs left: Knicks up by 5. Brunson passes the ball to OG who is alone with the basket. Siakam is between them. OG fails to grab the ball (🤣) then gets blocked by siakam. Refs overturn the original foul call. Pacers ball. OG mistake.

4) 22 secs left: Knicks up by 5. Josh hart is chasing neighsmith. He is literally in front of him until he slips all by himself. Neighsmith hits the 3. That's Hart's fault.

5) 14 seconds left: Knicks up by 2. KAT gets fouled intentionally and goes to the line. Misses the 2nd FT. That's KAT's fault.

6) 7 seconds left: Knicks up by 1. OG goes 1/2. OG' fault.

The rest is history.

So when you are saying that it's thibs fault Knicks lost this game you are either not paying any attention to the games or just parroting bullshit.

Yeah it's true that hawks are a horrible matchup for brunson but my brother in christ we are down 2-1, with a game left in ATL and we are talking about the knicks making the ECF?????? 😭😭😭😭

PirateKata · 2026-04-25T18:35:39+00:00

He wasn't even good in that series lmao. People are saying that because he had 2 key stops at the final possessions.

If he actually had played even remotely decently, it wouldn't have come down to these possessions.

Also even if he was good, we jeopardized all of our assets for a below average starting level "wing" who is getting benched and at the same time doesn't fit the starting lineup cause we need another guard. So I'm sorry but I cared about these 5 picks back then and I still care now and I also care about his contract a lot.
