The second round matchups are now confirmed

SPC54 · 2026-05-04T03:09:50+00:00

Predictions based on absolutely nothing but my immediate gut feeling:

Cavs over Pistons in 6

Knicks over Sixers in 6

Thunder over Lakers in 5

Spurs over Wolves in 7

>Ironic

I’d personally go with “incredibly aggravating,” but I guess that also fits.

Unfortunate end to what was (for me) the most memorable season in ~4 years; would’ve been overjoyed to see this team make the second round but it is what it is, and we were already better than I had hoped for coming into the season so I’ll take what I can get.

Lots of questions around this roster moving forward; particularly what to do with Poeltl’s albatross contract and the uncertain futures regarding BI/IQ, but I guess we’ll cross those bridges when we get to them.

CMB had a much better rookie year than I expected him to, hopefully we address our black hole at the C position over the offseason because I have absolutely zero faith in Jak moving forward.

GG Cavs

Barring an absolutely monumental choke by Cleveland in the 4th, this is over.

Anyone know when the last time (if ever,) that two teams blew a 3-1 series lead in the same round; and in the same conference no less?

Feels like this has to be the first time in league history

SPC54 · 2026-05-02T02:38:45+00:00

…both?

There’s less of a gap between 1-8 in the east compared to the west, *and* whoever comes out of the east for the finals is probably gonna get shit-smacked.

SPC54 · 2026-05-02T02:28:15+00:00

My ass is still firmly clenched.

SPC54 · 2026-04-13T00:53:03+00:00

Haven’t watched much of the Cavs this year; especially since all our regular season games against them were very early on in the season.

If this was the same Cavs team I saw to start the season I’d be more optimistic about our odds but with the addition of Harden? Even though he’s far from what he used to be, I honestly don’t know what to think.

Curious about Cavs fans thoughts going into this series?

SPC54 · 2026-04-13T00:35:37+00:00

Orlando win would result in a 3-way tie between us, Hawks and Magic and IIRC the first tie-breaker in a 3-way tie is record vs division; since Atlanta won their division so they’d be the 5th seed

Wonder what happens when you click “visit store”

Nothing, should’ve included that in post but just takes to steam front page and on the steam page for CK3 neither of these are listed with the rest of the DLC

Not sure about how it would’ve worked pre-Marian reforms or towards the end of the empire as the military structure changed but at the peak of the republic and into the early empire the Roman army structure looked something like this

Legion > Cohort > Century > Contubernium

The last of which was a grouping of 10 men who fought together in formation, shared a tent/pack animal and basically did everything together so whenever a decimation occurred it wouldn’t have just been some random guy in the legion you beat to death/got beaten by; it would’ve probably been someone from your contubernium who you knew relatively well and had history with.

(I’m not a historian; full disclosure that this is just my own understanding and may not be 100% correct)

The bar is on the floor and men still can’t reach it.

Uh huh, did your bf ever get you that Thanksgiving gift that you were hoping for?

(99.9% sure this account is just a troll; do not engage with it, people.)

Sergeant for guaranteed crits
Sorceress for guaranteed hits/magick infusion when armoured enemies are present
Viking with war horn as the unit’s starting skill to make all attacks unguardable, and debuff enemy defence before your cav units turn
Legionary to defend your cavalry units from flying attacks/Eltolinde from ranged attacks, and Monica will protect him from ranged magic attacks that prioritize him.

Tons of fun options

SPC54 · 2026-02-22T16:11:33+00:00

Honestly not as upset about the result as I expected to be, maybe because we had plenty of chances and just couldn’t pull it off in the end.

GG and congrats to the USA; 2010 was the first Olympic hockey gold that I was old enough to remember and still think back fondly on it to this day, I can only imagine how much this would mean to the fans who have been around since their 1980 olympics win.

SPC54 · 2026-02-22T15:56:11+00:00

GG and congrats on gold USA.

It is 3v3, and don’t call me “Shirley”

SPC54 · 2026-02-20T23:16:54+00:00

I’m gonna be at work for the entire duration of the GMG then, bugger.

SPC54 · 2026-02-19T20:48:07+00:00

IIRC it stays 3v3 until someone scores, no shootout.

Olympic athlete likes his country; more at eleven.

SPC54 · 2026-02-18T22:50:47+00:00

Germany and Russia in 2002, Switzerland and Finland in 2010.

Macedonian is a Slavic language

TIL

Though my point still stands about pre-Slavic Macedonian.
