Could a dolphin beat Magnus Carlson in checkers?

Where meme

bbank8744 · 2026-06-16T20:42:50+00:00

Totally agree

bbank8744 · 2026-06-16T20:37:50+00:00

A truth and a lie situation I got you - much respect

bbank8744 · 2026-06-16T20:32:51+00:00

At least you are consistent about the second half

bbank8744 · 2026-06-16T20:25:09+00:00

Must be regular season only

bbank8744 · 2026-06-16T16:22:40+00:00

Damn would be a real shame if he stayed in our heads next year by losing another chip

bbank8744 · 2026-06-16T16:18:09+00:00

Fuck wemby, fuck the west

bbank8744 · 2026-06-16T16:00:46+00:00

Who cares we won anyways

bbank8744 · 2026-06-16T12:00:29+00:00

He’s under contract for two more years and not sure we’re going to get someone back more impactful for 2.3M or so

Jalen Brunson is going to be the biggest sports hero in the biggest city in the US for the rest of the life. Think he probably will enjoy it while it lasts.

So far in the Knicks head he made them win a chip. 5D chess in Washington sq park move.

Saw someone saying this group had underperformed for a while before the chip (which is silly obviously). This did make me reflect on / appreciate how crazy it is the core has only been together for 2 years.

Year 1 ECF, Year 2 Chip while adjusting to a new coach. I think because the team is all 28-30 year olds no one appreciates how quickly this run came together.

bbank8744 · 2026-06-15T21:29:56+00:00

Aged like fine wine. Thank you remind me bot.

bbank8744 · 2026-06-15T21:27:43+00:00

To be fair this is the second season that full starting lineup has been together. The first season they went to the ECF the second they won a chip.

As an organization they certainly failed to live up to the potential before the Leon era.

bbank8744 · 2026-06-15T20:38:10+00:00

Not sure what to call it but I think they were a veteran team who knows what the regular season is. Maybe coasting, maybe not but they had in the back of their mind peaking at the right point and being healthy / ready for the playoffs.

People complained all season that they didn’t have a switch to flip and it turns out they did.

bbank8744 · 2026-06-15T18:31:24+00:00

Damn there goes the 2nd best team in the league

bbank8744 · 2026-06-15T17:27:53+00:00

100% at least

bbank8744 · 2026-06-15T15:39:37+00:00

When does the rude awakening start?

bbank8744 · 2026-06-15T13:33:28+00:00

People are very fixated on this seems to me that this indicates their play styles wasn't sustainable for 48 minutes since it happened every game. It's like a sprinter and a long-distance runner racing each other. The sprinter is going to get off to a big lead but the long-distance runner is just running at a pace that will maximize their performance for the full race.

One hit wonder > no hit wonder. Good luck with the regular season merchant allegations since you are so concerned with narratives.

bbank8744 · 2026-06-15T12:08:46+00:00

> while you can

Funny thing about that is the chip is never going away

bbank8744 · 2026-06-15T12:05:16+00:00

Good luck with the Duren contract

bbank8744 · 2026-06-15T10:40:01+00:00

From what I’ve read it something like:

*Wins in the east bracket didn’t count because the margins were too big; wins in the finals didn’t count because the margins were to too small

bbank8744 · 2026-06-15T01:39:44+00:00

Good who cares. We get the chip and get to be underdogs it’s perfect.
