[sullen steppe]

Bro is 0-3 in g7s not even slandering man was joking around afterwards

[undone lion]

i dont really mind that

the joking around ofc

[weak gull]

STOP PLEASE

[robust grotto]

TRUST fam, I’d like to see them win

I’m not even a Vegas hater

[sullen steppe]

I just know doc is DEFINITELY getting fired lol

[robust grotto]

I just wanna see Mc Leon do the thing

[weak gull]

I FEEL THE OIL

THE OIL IS RISING

[hollow wind]

Doc can’t even transition to media because no one wants to hear his voice

Actually

[undone lion]

lmaoooo

[hollow wind]

If he replaced Jeff Van Gundy I wouldn’t mind

PLEASE take that man off the air

[weak gull]

What he be screaming for anyways, he not coachin

[sullen steppe]

How can one coach choke this many series man💀

[hollow wind]

I hear Mark Jackson interviewed with Milwaukee tho

That’d be interesting ig

[undone lion]

mark jackson doesnt need another coaching job

[proud coyote]

I don't like stan van gundy's voice

it grates me

[weak gull]

Mark Jackson isn’t a bad coach tho

[hollow wind]

I don’t like either of them ngl

And he’d be going to one of the best rosters in the league. Would be interesting to see what he does with them

[proud coyote]

the players still seem to like Mark Jackson even after having Kerr so

I can't say he's strictly bad or anything like that

[hollow wind]

Oh yeah, he’s definitely a likable coach

[rustic mountain]

@celest zephyr

[robust grotto]

KAWWW

or I guess it’s more of a chirp

[hollow wind]

I know Phoenix are looking at Nurse and Bud tho

[weak gull]

If the pistons don’t hire jaron collins over the other two bozos we are considering so help me God

[hollow wind]

Who are you considering again?

[weak gull]

There is collins of course…

Then Milwaukee assistant Charles lee

AND FUCKING KEVIN OLLIE😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

[celest zephyr]

Bettman malding when Seattle-Vegas and Florida-Carolina are the cf matchups

[short flame]

You have the heat

[hollow wind]

Idek who Kevin Ollie is

[celest zephyr]

I have nothing left except… nothing

Hhahahahah don’t have any teams i actually care about left playing

[simple seal]

Time to dust off the classic

https://imgur.com/HrfiVrr

[weak gull]

Really? He almost got the lakers job years ago in 2014 I think

[rustic mountain]

Id rather cheer for literally anyone else

[celest zephyr]

Heat? Nah I’ll pass

[weak gull]

Anyways, he used to coach at UConn. But he really just lived off calhouns success. Believe he’s with Overtime elite now.

Pistons clearly want a developmental guy, which is fine with me. But collins should be the easy pick

[celest zephyr]

I really don’t care about any of the nba or nhl tams left

[hollow wind]

Oh when Byron Scott got it? I wasn’t really keeping up with the coach situation then.

[weak gull]

Believe that’s the timing. He still had Calhoun guys to leach off of at UConn tho so he stayed when they bumped his pay a bit

[rustic mountain]

The entire state of Florida sports joins the entire states of New York as "by default, I hope they lose"

There are small exceptions

But yeh

[simple seal]

Go Jokic

[rustic mountain]

Also everyone in Cali besides the Sharks

[robust grotto]

Bettman winning again

[hollow wind]

Was/Is Columbus in the playoffs btw lol?

[robust grotto]

https://tenor.com/view/2020-meme-wario-not_funny-confused-gif-18311561

[rustic mountain]

Bettman wants that wdym

Dude obviously doesn't want the cup in Canada

[short flame]

Why don’t you like the heats?

[rustic mountain]

How can you grow the game in America if Canada ever wins? We will use every Canadian and European talent we have to make absolutely sure that Raleigh, South Carolina gets a cup

[robust grotto]

Sunrise Florida ?? You’re up bud

[haughty moss]

hell nah

[rustic mountain]

Florida. They play in Miami.

[dim kettle]

IDK why Bettman would have something against a team with 24 cups or a team that had the best hockey player in the world at one point. lol

[hollow wind]

😢

I might start hockey next season. Might need some help from y’all

[dim kettle]

They play in Sunrise, my man. Not even considered part of the Miami area.

But they are South Florida's team

[rustic mountain]

Ah you'll have to excuse me

[dim kettle]

The heat play in Miami. But the Panthers not in 20+ years

[rustic mountain]

I mean

Whole state is tainted for having the Panthers there

So

[robust grotto]

Sunrise FL, Raleigh NC, Seattle WA, Paradise, NV, Dallas, TX

[weak gull]

That’s fine but tough time to be a blue jackets fan lol

[robust grotto]

and I think they all have the no state tax thing in common

[rustic mountain]

Wdym Vinny they got Johnny Hockey

[haughty moss]

one day bro one day

[robust grotto]

I know FL, NV, TX, WA 100%

Not certain w Carolina

[hollow wind]

I’ll be a Kings fan if that’s better. I don’t care for Columbus, I just live here

[dim kettle]

FL yeah. It's how people like Kuch could get paid less then he really should be getting.

[rustic mountain]

WA is income tax free yeh

It's a very nice feeling

[robust grotto]

Yeah exactly your money goes further

[rustic mountain]

Ehhhhhh

I mean not with cost of living prices in King County

[weak gull]

They have income tax

[robust grotto]

[robust grotto]

Good point, that’s fair. Is the practice arena also in county?

[hollow wind]

In reference to this

[dim kettle]

Imagine living in a nice house on the west coast.

[rustic mountain]

Idk if the Kraken actually practice in Climate Pledge or not

Climate Pledge is like right next to the Space Needle in Seattle

Id imagine some facility of some sort nearby but I dont go into the city for shit anymore

[weak gull]

Should’ve known they didn’t get along well when they had to lock deandre Jordan in his own room and force him to stay in LA after he was bout to go to dallas

[hollow wind]

Doc Rivers is a walking locker room issue

[dim kettle]

A shame Lob City never went anywhere.

[rustic mountain]

@robust grotto I guess they practice at the Kraken Community Iceplex

In Seattle too

Public skate and stuff happens there too

[weak gull]

They would’ve if doc actually realized what he had in griffin. It’s a damn shame that griffins best development as a player and over a full season came under fucking Stan van gundy

Lol

I guess he’s defending his old coach but still

[weak gull]

I mean…they was ass and they deserve blame for sure. They did quit

But doc let that awful defensive performance happen as well, as that was truly terrible what happened in the 3rd

[hollow wind]

I blame the whole organization lol

It’s not a one blame thing

[dim kettle]

if this was the first time, I can say that's a fair take. But it's simply not a coincidence that this shit keeps happening where ever he goes. The dude won a championship with a squad that should've had more and multiple failures with the Clippers. Like, how can you not say he's at least part of the problem?

[weak gull]

Exactly. Everyone deserves a pretty equal slice of the blame lol. Time to start removing constants

[dim kettle]

And yes, blame the organization. They knew he was a clown and signed him anyway expecting shit to change.

[hollow wind]

Yeah, he’s been a coach for a long ass time now and this has happened far too frequently.

[dim kettle]

Their peak was Kawhi breaking their hopes and dreams

Same ass clown that was a big reason Tim Duncan didn't come to Orlando in the early 2000s.

[weak gull]

I’d say it was the year they lost to the hawks tbh. That was the best chance to get out the 2nd

[hollow wind]

TRUST THE PROCESS

[weak gull]

That team had a lot of playoff experienced vets too in 20-21. Idk how they lost to that hawks team

[hollow wind]

Jesus Christ it’s been 10 years since Hinkie was hired there and the whole process thing started lol

And still no conference finals appearances

[dim kettle]

And then there's the Sixer fans that got so high and mighty about Ben Simmons coming to them and just assuming the process was a success already without winning a title. I'll always remind all those who harassed me for a week when I told them to calm down about the process being a success.

[weak gull]

Lol…none of this happens if they keep butler

[dim kettle]

Of course that's hyperbole. But Sixer fans just assume a lot lol

[weak gull]

Brett brown ain’t that bad in hindsight either, cause they in the same shit situation really. And brown got them just as far as they’ve ever been

[hollow wind]

I was bigger on Ingram anyway during that draft so “glad” we got him lol. I semi predicted Simmons not living up to the hype

[dim kettle]

I wonder how many Sam Hinkie defenders are still out there.

[hollow wind]

I guess coz he drafted Embiid and he’s “worked out” for them in the end

But they shouldn’t really be celebrating the circus that’s come and go for the last decade

[weak gull]

Ima be honest…hinkie put them in the right spot lol. What’s come after isn’t his doing.

Keep butler over Simmons and none of this is talked about, and he was gone then.

[dim kettle]

All Hinkie did was stack draft picks. He had no real gameplan of what he wanted his team to look like. He just wanted draft picks and fucking centers.

[weak gull]

Never said that’s not what he did…but that still put them in the right spot

[hollow wind]

I think the Hinkie thing is about the culture and expectations that spurred from all of that. There are positives and negatives. He drafted Michael Carter Williams and Nerlens Noel and Okafor

[rustic mountain]

I mean the draft is a bit of a shit show. If I was a gm early on, Id be stacking draft picks

[dim kettle]

I don't think Hinkie deserves any credit. Any GM could've collected draft picks.

[rustic mountain]

Just not taking multiple Centres

I am not saying he deserves credit

[weak gull]

We see today that many GMs are not willing to collect picks when they should lol

[rustic mountain]

Just that he doesn't deserve criticism on that part

[hollow wind]

3 centers in 3 years

I take it back

[weak gull]

IVE SEEN IT FOR A DECADE TIL WEAVER

[hollow wind]

Hinkie is the greatest GM of all time

[undone lion]

not enough imo

[dim kettle]

But man, for the longest time only Philly fans would talk trash about a tanking process.

It was quite a funny and sad experience.

[hollow wind]

can we stop talking about stacking picks LMAO. All that is coming to mind is Minnesota trading away 6 years of their future for a single player who I don’t think even qualifies as a “star”

[weak gull]

Hinkie easily could’ve took Aaron Gordon 🤣 but he believed in embiid

[hollow wind]

Ay ay at

Who’s still in the playoffs and who isn’t

I rest my case

[weak gull]

DONT EVEN TRY THAT😂😂

[hollow wind]

Lmfaoo

[dim kettle]

I see OKC stacking picks. And that's good and all, but they actually have to connect with some of those picks to matter.

Never easy being a GM.

[undone lion]

Thunder are gonna be pretty good if chet works out

[weak gull]

All in all, Hinkie isn’t the one who made the worst decisions here. He did what a lot of GMs won’t do and said “fuck it” when he needed to and got the picks he needed

What happened beyond his tenure shouldn’t fall on him

[dim kettle]

It shouldn't.

[hollow wind]

Unless you’re Pelinka. The worst moves possible for the start of year only to make the best moves in the league at the deadline

I kneel

[dim kettle]

But man, someone is gonna try and mention Hinkie and just no.

[undone lion]

why couldnt the lakers just have stayed bad

[weak gull]

I’m indifferent to Hinkie. The trading of butler over Simmons is where the Sixers fucked up the most

[formal breach]

Wasn’t it butler over harris, I may be wrong though

[torn gale]

If the lakers stayed bad we would have to depend on someone else to beat the nuggets

[undone lion]

lakers and nuggets are two evils

celtics make three

jimmy is all i have

[formal breach]

Speaking of harris, I remembered what embiid said post game and I thought, how does he feel about tobias at this point lol

[weak gull]

Technically yes, contract wise.

But the real stopper in Brett’s system was having both Simmons and butler

[formal breach]

He put up decent numbers this game but I didn’t realize he only dropped 2 pts in game 6 going 1-7

[weak gull]

Absolutely should’ve let Harris walk too, i forget about 😂😂😂

[hollow wind]

Hinkie wasted 3 of those first round picks on busts. Obviously it’s really hard to always get picks right especially in the NBA, but he went 1/4. And then Butler trade so

He uh

Ups and downs

[weak gull]

Brett brown was scapegoated

Butler traded to offer Harris and keep building a system between Simmons and embiid? Asinine

[dim kettle]

If Hinkie doesn't get kicked out. Butler probably never plays for the Sixers and that trade doesn't happen. And who knows what the Sixers team would look like because once again, Hinkie had no real idea of what he wanted his team to look like.

Sixers after Hinkie basically were left building a team around Embiid.

Which that's another can of worms of the FO drama that team had after.

[weak gull]

We can not say that. Butler wanted a trade in general. We can’t read Jimmy’s mind

Plus, they dont have who they end up trading for butler without hinkie

I’m just trying to say, end of the day. It’s a two way street. He had ups and downs like Evan said.

[dim kettle]

Here's the problem, Hinkie wasn't here when the Butler trade happened.

He was already told to fuck off a year or 2 prior.

[weak gull]

But you can’t say he doesn’t go there if he is. Yet again, his left over doings made that trade happen

Yet again, something his tenure left behind creating an opportunity.

Sixers even said in the statement once Hinkie resigned

“There is no question that Sam's work has put us in a very strong position to take advantage of numerous opportunities for an exciting future.”

[short flame]

Do you hate the bolts?

[rustic mountain]

Mm. Mostly just certain players and their coach

Pat Maroon can get bent

[dim kettle]

Goons are always unlikable.

[rustic mountain]

Yeh but that doesn't help Cooper's case

[dim kettle]

Cooper is only frustrating when his team is losing and the dude doesn't show any emotion.

Pretty looks like Todd Bowles when it happens.

[rustic mountain]

Cooper just annoyed me during the first round

Almost as much as Keefe does in general

[dim kettle]

I think it's normal to hate an opposing coach in the playoffs. I hate John Tortorella whenever my team faced him and he was the goddamn coach of the 04 Bolts team.

[rustic mountain]

Yeh. I think the Lightning don't bother me as much but there are just players and such

They didn't act like the Panthers

I'll hate the Panthers forever

And I admit we got out played and deserved to lose

But just how Tkachuk acted and Bennett's bullshit and I think it was Ekblad who elbowed Marner in the face

[dim kettle]

Kuch just embraced that bad guy persona after thousands of salty fans kept spamming that they cheated.

[rustic mountain]

It was ridiculous

[dim kettle]

I know them too well, Former Flames guys.

Mr Tkachuk and Sam Bennett

[weak gull]

PUT THE HOCKEY ON DAMN IT

[rustic mountain]

Why tf did they not move the time up

Jesus

[weak gull]

Would’ve played Campbell

AS SOON AS I SAY THAT LOL

[rustic mountain]

Holy fuck

It's already 2-1

Wtf

[weak gull]

Damn Bryce

[celest zephyr]

Sixers made two mistakes: butler over Simmons and using their other max spot on Tobias

Like regardless imo they should have let Harris walk

Dude clearly wasn’t worth close to a max

So many cool paint schemes in this Darlington race

The Lucas oil scheme for Busch and Castrol for keslowski are so cool

[silk notch]

didn't Pogba get injured

[rustic mountain]

...that was the first period in this series without a penalty. What in gods name

[celest zephyr]

Richard petty the goat speaking

[nimble onyx]

Yes...

[sweet tree]

yeah

he tweeted that right before the injury too

[hollow wind]

Magic Johnson should get Washington to rename to The Washington Johnsons

[weak gull]

That boy McDavid locked in 😭

[rustic mountain]

Just rename them in general please

Lmao I know that shit was funny

10 minute long question:

Washington magics

[weak gull]

Fr, he wasn’t listening to not a damn word😂

[rustic mountain]

Stuart Skinner gonna be the death of Edmonton

[celest zephyr]

Their inability to have any balance is making them worse

[rustic mountain]

Are there any free agent goalies coming out?

[short flame]

Ukko pekka

[rustic mountain]

I see literally just Johnathan Quick

[short flame]

We’re looking for a backup if he wants a job. Reuniting the family

[short flame]

I am still heartbroken over him

[rustic mountain]

Looks like Craig Anderson will be one

[short flame]

Craig retired

[rustic mountain]

Did he? This site doesnt track that so hownit be

[short flame]

Yeah we made a whole event for it

His kids were there with him that day in the room

[rustic mountain]

Well good for him then

Not so good for Edmonton needing a goalie tho lmao

Yep

Stuart Skinner again

[rustic ore]

@hidden rampart Sorry to hear about Philly man 🫂

[rustic mountain]

3-2 vegas

[celest zephyr]

Free agents? Nah its pretty barren

[weak gull]

Campbell shoulda played. It’s not all on skinner obviously, but I just would’ve preferred him out there

[celest zephyr]

They might snipe Samsonov off of the leafs

It’s not impossible

[rustic mountain]

This keeps up, I know I'll be cheering even harder for Seattle

[weak gull]

Same

[dim kettle]

Nothing like seeing a Vegas Seattle WCF to piss off older northern hockey fans.

[celest zephyr]

https://www.spotrac.com/nhl/free-agents/goaltender/

There are a ton lol

[rustic mountain]

If Seattle is in, I don't even care. If Seattle makes the wcf, I'll buy a Matty B jersey

[hidden rampart]

I’m a bucks fan now 😎

But honestly, it’s really disappointing. I like the sixers honestly and seeing them implode in game 7 was just disheartening

[celest zephyr]

Good ufas are pretty barren

Quick, varlamov, Anderson and Talbot might be the only ones

[weak gull]

I’m not on that list for some reason

[celest zephyr]

You want to play goalie for the oilers???

[short flame]

Thanks to @rustic cypress for the picture

[celest zephyr]

2nd period man

Have a smidge of faith

Skinner does too

Skinner is bad and I expect more goals on him

But I am haviny a little faith

[short flame]

Shame to the skinner family

If that guy wins rookie of the year over power

[dim kettle]

Just remember Canadian teams. Just because a lot of your teams are run incompetently that stubbornly hold onto outdated ideals, isn't ground for jealously of Vegas and Seattle's success in a short time.

Not great

[short flame]

But yeah not great either way

Throw that loser out

There’s enough cameras to pinpoint the guy and deny him access to arenas

[weak gull]

Oh come on now, Vegas cheap with the changes rn

[rustic mountain]

This just is sad man. Edmonton, has two of the best players in hockey and arguably some really great pieces around them like Nugent Hopkins and Hyman

But alas we are stuck with no class Vegas

No class Vegas and dirty af Florida in the conference finals

[weak gull]

Canes kraken would be my preferred final atp if Edmonton truly loses which I think they will

[rustic mountain]

I am praying

Praying

For the Kraken bro

Because if the Kraken are out, Imma just check out of the playoffs

[weak gull]

I can root for the canes tbh. Im pretty pissed at Edmonton but I blame them

For

1. Playing skinner
2. Not capitalizing on their opportunities on PP

But Vegas has been some cheap bastards all series

[rustic mountain]

I agree. Edmonton is to blame for their own demise

But Vegas was gross

[short flame]

All their existence

[dim kettle]

Cheap, but they're winning. You play to win the game.

[weak gull]

COOK

[short flame]

Worst team in the nhl

[weak gull]

Anyways….

[rustic mountain]

I mean yeah they are winning but I definitely don't respect them

And wouldn't be holding them or Florida in any high regard if they win the cup

[celest zephyr]

Sayonara Edmonton

Canada’s streak is about to go to 30

[weak gull]

BUT I DONT SPEAK ITALIAN!!!

[short flame]

Do what you can to win but there’s limits to sportsmanship

[celest zephyr]

As long as they don’t cheat I’ll accept it

[weak gull]

Exactly. Fine, win. Whatever, doesn’t change our opinions of them

[rustic mountain]

There's no sportsmanship in Vegas or Sunrise

[dim kettle]

I don't respect many teams. Vegas being one of them. But sports doesn't care about that. Can't be helped.

[celest zephyr]

Astros can burn to hell

[rustic ore]

https://tenor.com/view/peter-griffin-brian-gif-13873621

[short flame]

That’s harsh on Florida. Yeah they’re rats, but Vegas are the devil

[rustic mountain]

Sure it can't be helped

[celest zephyr]

No Eichel is

[rustic mountain]

But doesn't mean I don't have to respect them for it

Or see them as legit

[celest zephyr]

Vegas is just a gambling state

[rustic mountain]

Everyone else can if they want

[celest zephyr]

Legit? I mean idk man if you win a cup you are legit

[rustic mountain]

But it's just not cool

[dim kettle]

I sure didn't like the Caps winning the cup with a lot of their own unlikable guys and coach. Yet they won the cup.

[short flame]

So can Eichel

[celest zephyr]

Like the odds of fluking your way to four straight series victories is absurdly low

[rustic mountain]

It's not even all about liking or disliking. The shit Florida and Vegas pulled just was cheap

I am not calling them flukes

[dim kettle]

The 90s Devils literally built their game on hard hitting and cheap shots. And got 3 cups out of it.

[celest zephyr]

No respect

But idk I’ll accept it as legit

Yeah that shit is dirty no doubt

[weak gull]

Can do what ya want. Is what it is..

But the opinion doesn’t change. It’s cheap as hell and highly irritating to watch

[celest zephyr]

It ain’t the prettiest way to win but hey winning is winning

[rustic mountain]

All I'll say is sure you got your cup, but as a fan I don't personally view them in the same light as other champions

Agreed with Vinny

[weak gull]

But good on them for winning I guess

[dim kettle]

That's the great thing about sports. There's good guys and bad guys.

[celest zephyr]

Yeah for sure

[short flame]

Didn’t Vegas sabotage their rival’s training grounds for the jets matchup

Surely that’s not permitted in the rules

[dim kettle]

Literally spent the last 3 years being a fan of the villain that won 2 straight cups and 3 Finals appearances, I get it.

[short flame]

Do they also put rotten fish in the ventilation

[weak gull]

The bolts winning didn’t phase me at all

[short flame]

It’s just frustrating when you try to be the good guys and you just rot and are made fun of

[weak gull]

Only worse outcome this year at this point would’ve been the bruins

[rustic mountain]

The Bolts winning was before my real Fandom, it was just kinda

It was like the Warriors

It was boring

[short flame]

I have nothing but respect for the bolts that won their cup. You did it the right way

[rustic ore]

Was about to make that same comp

[rustic mountain]

The thing with the Bolts though is I didn't groan in agony seeing they were in the final

[short flame]

I’d have rather have the bruins over Vegas

[weak gull]

I was gone say. There wasn’t much to hate on, folks just didn’t like all the winning. But I could accept it

[rustic mountain]

The Warriors I was done with so fast

[dim kettle]

I know plenty of hockey fans that wouldn't stop shitting on us. To the point that the Bolts reddit page had to make GDTs of their own just watch and chat on the games in peace.

[weak gull]

Trippin

[rustic ore]

If there is one thing above all else that I'm thankful for from that 3 year stretch for my guys

Is that an announcer finally got to say the phrase "Lightning strikes twice!"

[short flame]

I’d take Arizona over those scumbags

[dim kettle]

Keep forgetting also because r/hockey won't stop reminding us. "You were 17 million of the cap in 2021 playoffs"

[rustic mountain]

I've noticed something

[short flame]

How is that allowed

[rustic mountain]

Hockey fans are a lot worse to deal with than football fans ever have been for me in my life

[rustic mountain]

Seeing the online community

Nah

[dim kettle]

r/hockey is cancer.

I can confirm

You're not bad at all

You have very strange opinions

But that doesn't make you bad

Thanks for the compliment

[weak gull]

But I hate the blackhawks more than any team in hockey

[rustic ore]

As we all should

[rustic mountain]

Leafs fan unironically have pissed me off more

Than a lot of others

I left the Leafs subreddit because it is a nightmare

[short flame]

My only experience of leafs fans other than the people here is that guy from YouTube

The guy who’s constantly having a breakdown

[rustic mountain]

Dangle

[short flame]

Yeah him

Not a fan tbh

[rustic ore]

Oddly enough I can see that

[rustic mountain]

I like Dangle. He is just loud lol

[short flame]

Buffalo sportscenter>>>

[rustic mountain]

Football fans are bastards don't get me wrong

[dim kettle]

I've been a fan of hockey for 20 years now. And I can just see patterns in how things work for teams success and failure. You can't talk logic with Leaf, Pen, or Bruins fans in r/hockey. They'll A: Get defensive or B: Completely shit on you without arguing the point.

[weak gull]

My top 5 most hated

1. Blackhawks
2. Bruins
3. Penguins
4. Golden Knights
5. Sharks

Hm- kings and leafs (a lil bit)

[rustic mountain]

But hockey fans make you want to punch them

[rustic ore]

Hardcore hockey fans are really over the top

[rustic mountain]

Maybe I should stay in my little Jays universe

[rustic ore]

Mind you I say that as a fan of a sport that has produced more than a few incidents of spectators getting straight up killed

[rustic mountain]

Which was?

[short flame]

My top 5 most hated

1. Blackhawks
2. Golden Knights
3. Kraken
4. Arizona
5. Mcsauce

[rustic ore]

NFL

[rustic mountain]

Not including the stadiums?

[rustic ore]

Mind you I'm pretty sure most of those incidents have been because of the Raiders

[short flame]

I still remember the days Montreal fans started destroying police cars. Lost respect that day

[rustic mountain]

I legit thought you were gonna say wwe

And I wasnt gonna bat an eye

[weak gull]

I’m counting down the days

[rustic mountain]

Because in my mind that makes sense

"Undertaker fans would murder a dude I am sure of it"

[short flame]

We have that in football as well. So many lives lost because of of the barras. I know people who were injured because of rivalries

[rustic ore]

Dude international footy fans are lowkey insane sometimes

[rustic mountain]

Lowkey????

Do we not remember the world cup? Lma9

Lmao

[rustic ore]

Like I don't know if there is any sports worldwide that causes anywhere near as much chaos if not straight up riots than footy

[rustic mountain]

I got told to fuck myself purely for saying I liked the word soccer lmao

[short flame]

That’s nothing

[short flame]

I’m controlling myself

[dim kettle]

I want to see the Leafs succeed because of Dangle. I want to finally see him happy. But you only go back to reality that a lot these fans and Leafsnet will have no problem being arrogant despite not even making a Finals appearance since literally SB 1. Will make 10 million excuses for their failures and claim to be cursed when the only curse on them is stupidly and choking, and will talk down to other fanbases which adds to that arrogant part before. That's what I experienced from the worst of the Leaf fans

[rustic ore]

I like Matthews and Marner

When they're on they're fun to watch

[rustic mountain]

Leafs fans can fucking suck man. Worse than just me being bitter

True assholes

[rustic ore]

That's cause you're an adult with a healthy control over your emotions you silly goose

[short flame]

I’d rather have a couple of assholes, at least they’re fun to watch

[rustic mountain]

healthy

Idk man

Sometimes I feel I go way too far for myself

[short flame]

Buffalo fans are too wholesome, I need some spark

[rustic ore]

Healthy by comparison then?

[short flame]

They were celebrating at the end of the season

[rustic mountain]

There we go

[dim kettle]

They seriously remind me of Red Sox fans before 04. Instead of claiming you're cursed. Actually realize every team chokes. Some more than others.

[rustic ore]

Boy I misread that badly and was about to send a spanking gif

[short flame]

No nsfw

[weak gull]

By chance…are there any packers fans here?

[rustic mountain]

Buc do you remember when there was a bot here that you could use that had nsfw unlocked lmao

[rustic ore]

[rustic mountain]

I can't remember which bot it was. I dont think it was Koya

[rustic ore]

Ah yes, the porn channel

What a time

[rustic mountain]

But you could do nsfw commands and get some nasty shit

[dim kettle]

There was a Packer fan here at one point. IDK if he left though.

[rustic ore]

Would automatically grab random OP porn from across the internet

[rustic mountain]

[weak gull]

Damn shame

[short flame]

[rustic ore]

I may or may not have partook on occasion while we had it

[dim kettle]

I had a hell of a time referencing Scotty Miller to him though. Fun times.

[rustic mountain]

I wish we had falcons fans here

[rustic ore]

But I was also extremely horny and cringe worthy when I first joined

[rustic mountain]

I'd be the fuckin worst

[dim kettle]

I'd be the fucking worst.

[rustic mountain]

We all change man

[rustic ore]

There was a couple weeks/months ago but they got banned

[rustic mountain]

Dude

Do you remember that one philly fan

Who was hot and cold

[dim kettle]

He got banned.

[weak gull]

Ban all the eagles fans

[rustic ore]

Think it was for using an alt? No sure, sure it was worse than that

[weak gull]

HOW THE HELL DID HILL

[rustic mountain]

Literally one minute going "BRO WE THE FUCKIN WORST EVER FIRE THE TEAM" the next fucking talking mad shit on everyone and how good the eagles/phillies were

[dim kettle]

I know a lot of Philly fans like that. lol

[rustic ore]

Yeah that dude needs some consoling

[rustic mountain]

Hella

[dim kettle]

I thought he was being a character. But he got banned. So...

[rustic mountain]

https://tenor.com/view/el-risitas-juan-joya-borja-ratones-coloraos-laugh-meme-laughing-man-gif-24899295

[rustic ore]

Also holy crap Tatum had 51 in that G7 win?

[rustic mountain]

Yep

[rustic ore]

Tathim

[rustic mountain]

He took all the insults personally

[weak gull]

If the Lions win the division and a playoff game I will be insufferable

Just like if the pistons win the lottery

[dim kettle]

You deserve to be insufferable.

Fucking Lions.

08 is still the worst defense I've ever seen

[rustic ore]

Hell I'd openly be rooting for the Lions to finally get a playoff win

Just to finally get 1 after so damn long

[dim kettle]

I didn't see my first playoff win till I was 22 in the 2020 playoffs. Can't imagine how Lion fans feel.

[weak gull]

Legit had the one good player lol…one

[rustic mountain]

Even though you hate my team, I cant hate the Lions man

I want them to win the north

[weak gull]

We should’ve saw one but got absolutely CHEATED in Dallas in 2014

[dim kettle]

All this hype just to end up 7-10. In other words, like most seasons in Detroit.

[weak gull]

I will not let that go until they do win a playoff game. That defense was so damn good…but we had FUCKING LOMBARDI CALLING PLAYS😭😭

[rustic ore]

As of right now their only competition in the North is Minny imo, that's until/unless Jordan Love shocks everyone and shows he can actually be a decent starting QB

[weak gull]

Idk. Our win projection is still at 2nd place in the north

So the hype seems to have died a bit tbh

[rustic ore]

Or the Bears pull off legit black magic and somehow punch way above their weight class

[dim kettle]

It's always about, What about the Vikings? every year and I'm like, What about the Vikings?

[weak gull]

The bears should have a solid offense but that defense needs a year or two

[rustic ore]

Minny legit nuts not to take a developmental QB behind Cousins in recent years

[dim kettle]

They should if Fields can actually throw the ball or is even allowed to throw the ball

Luke Getsy is such a chicken shit playcaller

[weak gull]

They took Jarren Hall but yeah, not taking a guy higher up is odd

[rustic ore]

Oh right

Mormon Russell Wilson

Hope they enjoy a 25 year old rookie

[dim kettle]

Vikings are always gonna be the walking definition of a second rate organization. Never makes enough bad decisions to be a shit show but also doesn't make enough good decisions to be considered a great one.

[weak gull]

Best shot was when they had to beat that nick foles eagles team…but they got fucking mauled

Terrible nfc championship game

[rustic mountain]

Man. I hate Nick Foles lmao

[weak gull]

Case Keenum has done more than Kirk…let that sit

[dim kettle]

Like we always talk about the many missed chances they've had over the years. But what was the last time you could say the Vikings were the team to beat in the NFL year and year out? The 70s?

They always have like one great season every decade and just go back to being mediocre.

[rustic mountain]

Ekholm

Literally bleeding from the face

Bro. Wtf.

[rustic ore]

I think they actually have the same number of playoff wins

[weak gull]

I’d say 2009 they were pretty damn close to being that. But outside of that the 70s yeah

They were a damn good team in 09 tho

[dim kettle]

09 is the best example of this. One great season and then back to 6 win team the next.

[rustic ore]

Brett throwing that INT when they were in FG range was just peak Vikings

Close but not close enough

[weak gull]

Seriously.. they were better than those saints. I think they had the best team

But they pulled a Vikings

[dim kettle]

When a 40 year old Brett Favre is the best QB the Viks have had since Tarkenton. It says a lot about the problems with the Viks when often don't talk about because they're "cursed"

[rustic ore]

Can I give a hot take?

[rustic mountain]

Edmonton firing every last thing they can

Of course

[rustic ore]

I'm not the biggest fan of Edmonton's home kit

[dim ledge]

Fucking oilers man

Every time

How

[rustic ore]

Maybe my TV is just shit

[rustic mountain]

Eh it's not that hot of a take

[rustic ore]

But the colors really don't pop for me

[rustic mountain]

I like it but it isnt the be all

[weak gull]

Genuinely though…Favre was slinging that thang

[dim ledge]

Unpopular opinion but....

[rustic ore]

Like to me it looks like dark orange on dark blue, like can someone at least make one of those lighter?

[dim ledge]

I liked the oiler cog kits

[dim kettle]

Favre made one of the best throws I saw that season against the Niners. no doubt.

[weak gull]

But yeah, sad that’s the best they had

[rustic mountain]

Oh the 90s ones?

[dim ledge]

Ye

[rustic mountain]

I like em too

[dim ledge]

Gorgeous

[dim kettle]

It's royal blue the Oilers have now.

[rustic mountain]

I prefer the ones with orange

[rustic ore]

Yeah I can rock with that

[weak gull]

Need that beanie

[rustic ore]

Ohhh I like this

[rustic mountain]

Yes those

[weak gull]

He needs that beanie

[rustic mountain]

I love those

[rustic ore]

That should be their main gear imo

Has character to it

[dim kettle]

i'm glad they went back to the royal blue this year. Because it's like the Isles. For some reason in the 90s it was like teams were ashamed that they had brighter colors and wanted to become more edgy.

[rustic ore]

Oh McDavid

Ouch

[weak gull]

If only Edmonton had goaltending lol

[rustic ore]

On a side note that's an awfully unfortunate last name for that one Edmonton player: Hyman 😬

[dim kettle]

They tried fixing it. The problem is the Campbell Soup was past it's expiration date.

[rustic mountain]

Well that's it boys

[weak gull]

But their fault putting skinner back out there after the atrocious showing

[rustic mountain]

Canada once again denied a cup

[weak gull]

It is, but he most def shoulda been out there tonight

[dim ledge]

Yeah delicious kit

[rustic mountain]

Vegas moves on. Absolutely gross. Oh well go Kraken

[rustic ore]

Sad sight with how quiet it got and all those people getting up to leave

[rustic mountain]

https://tenor.com/view/jamie-oleksiak-seattle-kraken-goal-happy-kraken-goal-gif-23603378

[rustic ore]

But it is what it is

[weak gull]

Hold up guys I’m getting a call from Edmonton for some reason

[rustic ore]

On a side note are there any GKs about to hit the market that would be an upgrade for Edmonton or are they cap strapped?

[rustic mountain]

I am going all in boiz

Come on Seattle

[weak gull]

You may be the bad luck charm bro no cap😂😂

[dim kettle]

This Oilers team isn't built to win 16 games. McDavid and Leon can only win you so many games. The Oilers being here even is probably the product of the Pacific being a joke the past few years. I wish I could say they can build on this and then you remember Holland is there and is probably gonna try add more pieces to blow up in their face by February.

[rustic mountain]

I might need to take this seriously, Detroit knows a lot about bad luck

[weak gull]

DAMN RIGHT WE DO

across all 4 major sports I might add

[dim kettle]

Just don't talk about the multiple cups in hockey town.

[rustic mountain]

I am also half doing this to annoy Sanjuan inevitably

[weak gull]

For them it’s never moving up in the lottery

My only gripe there

[dim kettle]

Yzerman has never gotten the 1st pick.

[weak gull]

Yeah. Wings haven’t moved up one slot in 7 consecutive years man. Blows

[short flame]

Is Dallas out?

[weak gull]

We always stay pat

[rustic ore]

I mean outside of the Lions and Tigers Detroit has won 3 league championships across 2 sports this century, that's better than most can say

[dim kettle]

I think the Wings were one lost against NJ away from getting the 1st pick a few years ago. lol

[dim ledge]

Does it matter?

Edmonton have continuously ignored that position

When any fan of the NHL could tell you that's what they lack

[weak gull]

90% sure of that as well. Like I said man, we know about bad luck

Some good stuff here, but it’s mostly poop luck

[weak gull]

The pistons title is still my favorite sports moment atp

And I was 5

Actually, second favorite

First being Michigan over OSU in 21

[short flame]

I know Americans don’t care but the sounders have been pretty successful

[dim kettle]

They tried with Campbell and it failed. You can't even trust them developing goaltenders within.

[rustic ore]

I got a bad case of Mandela effect rn, I could have sworn the Tigers won a World Series between 2003-2007

[weak gull]

We don’t win those you silly goose

[dim kettle]

They didn't lol

[rustic ore]

Isn't that Seattle though?

[weak gull]

We can go to em, but we will be soundly beaten

[dim kettle]

06 was seriously one of the worst WS I've ever seen

[rustic ore]

Was talking about Detroit

[weak gull]

Tbf, we expected that loss

The giants beat down , WE DID NOT SEE COMING

[rustic mountain]

The most recent success the city of Seattle had had, outside soccer, is the Seahawks

Bout it

[dim kettle]

Not even talking about the loss. Damn that series was just boring af

[dim ledge]

It really sucks man. I want Edmonton to do well so badly but they just can't fucking put together a team that operates outside of their top line

Meme defense

[weak gull]

It was. Just saying, we knew we overachieved

The giants one hurt us though, cause we got bitch slapped and didn’t see it coming

[dim ledge]

Darnell Nurse was the only capable dman on that team for 5 years

[short flame]

Oh my bad I thought lions were in Seattle

[rustic mountain]

Nope

[dim kettle]

I always get salty too remembering 06. Because all I can see is Beltrán staring down a pitch to lose to the Cards in the NLCS. That Mets team really was a tragedy.

[rustic mountain]

That's the Seahawks

[rustic ore]

Seattle keeps putting Sea in front of their sports team names, why not Seattle Sealions yet???

[short flame]

Sea krakens

[rustic mountain]

Only so many teams man

[rustic ore]

Look how majestic it is

[rustic mountain]

Plus I don't think Sea lions are that big of a deal here

[short flame]

Is Seattle near the sea?

[weak gull]

Welp, time for me to prepare for my favorite part of the NBA season as a pistons fan

The lottery

[rustic mountain]

Yes but sea lions are like

In south America I think

[dim kettle]

Can't wait for the Magic to BS their way to another lottery win

[rustic ore]

It's like right in there

[rustic mountain]

Well some are

[weak gull]

I’ve got a weird feeling Houston’s getting it. Idk why

[dim kettle]

So they can get more players that just shoot for highlights on Tiktok?

[rustic ore]

https://tenor.com/view/good-morning-do-it-gif-24435329

[rustic mountain]

But yeah sea lions are in southern Canada it says on google

Not really a Seattle thing

[weak gull]

Seriously, then not play defense in any of their 82 games

First lottery sim and this is what I got lol

[dim kettle]

Looking at their players stats just drive me nuts. Its like half of their young rosters are a bunch of Rudy Gays out there this past season

[rustic ore]

Just for the meme I would love if Orlando pulls off the 9% gacha-esque miracle of stealing the 1st pick and Wemby

[dim kettle]

A bunch of points and highlights but don't do anything else.

If the Bulls don't get a top 4 pick that pick belongs to the Magic.

[weak gull]

Should re sim this…bulls moved up. That’s just unrealistic

[weak gull]

It will go to the magic. Highly doubt bulls move up based off positioning and just history in general tbh.. have awful lotto luck

[dim kettle]

Can't wait to get the 1st and 5th picks.

[rustic ore]

Look they got Jordan and got 2 different dynasties out of it they used up all of their luck

[weak gull]

Resimmed…lot more realistic

[dim kettle]

The day Reinsdorf is gone is the day Bulls and White Sox fans celebrate.

You know, before the next terrible owner comes.

Ok good they’re near the water

Now that's just in poor taste

[rustic mountain]

You could say the same shit about like Buffalo

[weak gull]

Fr leave them be they suffered enough😂

[dim kettle]

I think they're just using them as an example. They easily could've used the Sabres or Yotes. Vegas in their short time simply know how to get it done more times than not.

[chilly flare]

Sorry for your pain and suffering, Sab

[rustic mountain]

Coulda just said

[chilly flare]

Why is Vegas so hated?

[weak gull]

He will be okay, he’s used to it I’m sure

[dim kettle]

Also, you know those clicks

[celest zephyr]

Being used to it doesn’t make it any less painful

[rustic mountain]

"Vegas joined in 2017. They have been to conference finals 3 times since their inception"

[rustic ore]

I'm a sheep so I just jump on the hate train for the memes

[weak gull]

You get numb after a while trust me

[celest zephyr]

Though I’m sure à détroit sports fan knows full well

[proud coyote]

can we not...

[proud coyote]

can we also not...

[celest zephyr]

Yeah it feels like a constant ache lmao

[weak gull]

Sorry Juba😭😭

[celest zephyr]

Numb but still ain’t fun

[dim kettle]

But damn, Leafs really haven't made a ECF since the Canes broke their hearts in OT in 02.

[chilly flare]

Buc is always an honest man lmao.. respect

[celest zephyr]

Yeah yeah i know lmao

Leafs suck woooo

I’m becoming more numb by the year

[rustic ore]

I think a part of it is Vegas having an insane about of success since their inception 6 years about

[celest zephyr]

Yeah like omg wow they have more success than all but a handful of teams since their inception

[rustic ore]

Think them having Eichel adds onto it given how his time in Buffalo went and how he handled that

[celest zephyr]

Shitting on the leafs is just everyone’s favourite pass time

[weak gull]

Yeah, but at least it’s just like a little shot after a while and not a heart attack

Slowly but surely, you are being mentally trained to withstand the pain. Learning to cope with the outcome that you know is inevitable

[rustic ore]

So they become just an easy team to hate on it seems

[celest zephyr]

Yeah its becoming more and more of being poked by a needle

Like it stings but its so obvious now

At least they didn’t lose the same way as before so shrugs

They found something new

[weak gull]

Exactly, and soon, it’ll be nothing to you

Until something happens to spark hope, only for the pain to be inflicted at a higher dosage

[rustic ore]

Sports is misery

[weak gull]

I’m in this stage rn with my lions just FYI

[dim kettle]

Newer teams in this league have higher chances of winning early on because they get people who are ahead of time in terms of building a team. And not held back by outdated ideals and arrogance.

[weak gull]

My guard is down and the nfl knows it

[rustic mountain]

Vinny is prepping for true pain

Getting to the nfc title game

[celest zephyr]

That was this season

[rustic mountain]

And then getting cucked by the refs

[dim kettle]

As for the Knights winning the cup. Umm. we'll see.

[celest zephyr]

In 2022 i just accepted the inevitable

[weak gull]

Tbh…I’d cry just to see them there

Legit tears

[celest zephyr]

They got the first year deboer special

Enjoy sucking until they get rid of him

[dim kettle]

The Stars do

Knights already escaped that hell

Still feel like the Leafs will win the cup one day. Most of their drought came down to Ballard just being a terrible owner and every failure always goes back to the top.

[dim kettle]

Hello Joel Embiid. My name is Aaron Rodgers.

[hollow wind]

It's called Karma

[hollow wind]

As in the same year they won MVP? Wow, I didn't actually know that

[weak gull]

Nah. He’s the only mvp to have never made a conference finals now. I had to reread that

[hollow wind]

oh right was about to say

[weak gull]

It’s nitpicky Cause Westbrook was a first round exit his mvp year

[hollow wind]

I'm pretty sure Westbrook didn't make it his

yeah lol

[rustic ore]

I think it's saying all time, which is a bit unfair to criticize imo but Embiid makes himself into an easy target and it's always fun to dunk on all things Philly so

[dim kettle]

The shit aged like milk in 2019. And now that milk is solid in 2023.

[hollow wind]

lmao

[hollow wind]

Still ngl, he's had a few opportunities to so I think criticism for that is valid

Embiid is a great player but again, I'm just not as hot on a lot of these players as others are

[weak gull]

It’s valid. Should’ve beat the hawks in 21

[hollow wind]

Jokic is the real deal to me tho

[rustic ore]

Yeah he's cool

[weak gull]

I can understand losing to kawhi

But not that hairy lollipop in Atalanta

[honest umbra]

The hairy lollipop is ice cold doe

[weak gull]

He is…but that was a bad loss for those Sixers

[hollow wind]

Man, if Jokic became even slightly better at rim protection and improved his lateral quickness (quickness in general) it'd be over

donezo

[rustic ore]

Sheesh I was curious and looked up whatever happen to DWade's son Zaire cause I remembered him and Bronny played together in HS, dude is playing pro ball over in Africa

😬

I mean good for him for going pro but man that's a let down, B or C league kinda deal

[proud coyote]

I mean he was like, a 3 star recruit

[rustic ore]

Fair

Still, he's always gonna be unfairly compared to his dad when DWade is one of the very best to have ever done it

[hollow wind]

Bronny ...

https://tenor.com/view/vegeta-gif-8018398

He betrayed me

[rustic ore]

Even though it's only gonna be for a year he's gonna bring a lot of eyes to USC's BBall program

[weak gull]

He also tore his knee up in g league play when he got the chance so shit just didn’t work out fully

[hollow wind]

AGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Also jeez, some early bird gossip apparently from various execs that it wouldn't be surprising if Ja were to be suspended for half the season if not more

[hollow wind]

LMAO

[rustic ore]

LBJ a sports hoe

And he's a Cowboys fan

Clown stuff

[proud coyote]

except he's also a browns fan

[hollow wind]

Idc, if Bronny came to OSU, I'd be applying to be some mopper for the basketball program asap

[rustic ore]

Like I said, sports hoe

Actually, now that I think about it LBJ might force Bronny to stay multiple years in college to grow/develop

[hollow wind]

Well, he does seem pretty adamant about wanting to play with him in the NBA

[rustic ore]

Know he's said he wants to play at least 1 year together in the pros but Bronny ain't ready yet, plus LBJ has always seemed to me like a great parent so he might want Bronny to focus on his education

[smoky fable]

He isn’t ready

[hasty basin]

Yeah Bronny isn't ready

And he might get the

Great player son curse

Aka if my father balling hard I aint

[calm mulch]

@hollow wind last game

[solid dagger]

I just saw Harden didn't score any points in the last quarter of GAMES 5-7

That's insane

[torn gale]

Philly special

Poverty franchise

[solid dagger]

I mean at least they won a title

It was way back then but they got it

[torn gale]

Maybe they should try simply winning

Tobias Harris over Jimmy Butler

[solid dagger]

"Tobias Harris over me???"

I think I saw a stat that said Embiid is the only mvp ever to never come out the second round of the playoffs lol

[torn gale]

Never come out the second round the same year they won mvp?

[proud coyote]

66% devils is wiiiiiiiiiild

[solid dagger]

Ever in their careers I think

It sounded impossible at first but when I thought about it I couldn't think of an mvp that never went to the conference finals

Either before or after winning it

[calm mulch]

don't worry guys, Doc Rivers will adapt to the Celtics gameplan next year

he is just slightly slow

but he'll get there

[robust grotto]

Ngl I was part of the 66%

The rock paper scissors game between NJ / NYR / CAR fans was funny. I didn’t want to see NJ. NJ fans didn’t wanna see CAR. CAR fans were rather nervous of NYR after last year.

[solid dagger]

Pogba is out for the rest of the season

I mean we only have like 4/5 games but still

[formal sinew]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YuqcnfDnJ3I&ab_channel=RDCworld1 nah cause 5-18 field goal on an mvp year is crazy 😭

[calm mulch]

just watched the press conference

Embiid had the audacity to say that

Honestly... At this point Embiid would be a great backup center in Denver

fraudulent MVP

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YfQl1DEr9vU

[versed forge]

Jokic robbed from mvp

[hasty basin]

I said what I said on Jokic being the MVP but I wont use this playoff run against Embiid cos it's a regular season award

[honest umbra]

Yea me either

this team would be pretty good right

[dim ledge]

Massive player

Should be. So so deserved

Leafs say Brendan Shanahan will not speak today but will speak to media in the coming days
Players, Dubas and Keefe will speak today.

[celest zephyr]

Not surprised

Dude also has to know he’s on the hot seat

Got to make sure he doesn’t screw up and get the axe

Keefe and dubas can just get shown the door

Huh Keefe has one more year left on his deal

A bit annoying but not much of an issue

[robust grotto]

Not a problem for the Leafs, they can move on if the feel the need

[short flame]

He took you further than you’ve been in over a decade

[hasty basin]

Nice

[calm mulch]

Jokic was also better on the regular season

[hasty basin]

Yeah I said that before

[calm mulch]

and that also doesn't matter cuz for some reason the NBA and the fans judge playoff performance for the regular season mvp award

They just didn't give the third one to jokic

voters fatigue

so Embiid got his MVPity

[rustic mountain]

Wasnt there a dude who left Jokic off like his all nba voting thing or something

[calm mulch]

Yeah, that dude "forgot" to vote for jokic

or pick him

[rustic mountain]

Shit's crazy to me that the NBA and some of its fans is just like downright cruel to Joker to the point of giving the mvp to the next closest guy is preferable

[calm mulch]

What is happening in the NBA right now is just pure poetry in motion

Embiid will lock his trophy in a closet because he has to cry everytime he looks at it now

[rustic mountain]

It would be like the NFL saying Patrick Mahomes has won the mvp too much, give it to Josh Allen

[calm mulch]

knowing it isn't his even with his name on it

[calm mulch]

If the voters were just LeBron would have like 4-5 more MVP trophies

but somehow he didn't get picked for most of his career

There is no system to give them tbh

[rustic mountain]

Just sad really

Is it just voter fatigue that makes people disrespect Jokic?

[calm mulch]

it's a mixture of these and a couple of more things

Jokic is european, white and not marketable, his game is not based around athleticism... There is so many factors that combine for Jokic being hated

if you watch him talk in or out of interviews you see he is a cool guy, legit and genuine good person too

on court too

He gets hated for absolutely nothing, people have their own versions of Jokic on their heads (the haters)

[rustic mountain]

Wow

Shit is whack

[hollow wind]

I think it’s largely just the lack marketability ye

White pudgy awkward looking white dude is the best player in the league

[rustic mountain]

That's all this world is man. Marketability

[hollow wind]

Sad reality

[torn gale]

Even sadder reality is that people will and already are gonna discredit Joel’s regular season award mvp because of this annual Philly collapse

[rustic mountain]

I don't discredit his seaspn

Season

Just that Jokic from what I saw had a better one

[torn gale]

Mvp is dogshit anyways I stopped caring when harden got robbed

[hollow wind]

He definitely was a deserving candidate for the award, I’m fine that he got it. If I had a vote, I’d vote Jokic but as long as people know and accept that it’s a regular season stat award, then alls good.

But yeah, the MVP award has lost all hype for me now

Especially since they don’t even make an event out of it anymore

Now they just call inside the NBA and talk for 30 seconds

And I still would prefer if it stayed true to its name of MOST VALUABLE player

Not who just had the flashiest stats

[calm mulch]

You know that is not how it works

it should be how it worked

but it is not

And EVEN THEN Jokic had a better regular season performance.

[hollow wind]

It should be more than stats is what I’m saying

Embiid had the most ppg and he still won it coz wow 34 points a game!

But Jokic beat him in practically every other major stat

Idk

And I’m pretty sure Jokic just stopped giving af after he clinched the first seed lol

But in terms of who is most valuable to their teams success, I take Jokic over Embiid any day of the week

[calm mulch]

Jokic never gave a fuck, his game naturally generates absurd stats. He is that effective

[hollow wind]

He has a much bigger impact on the turnout of the game

[calm mulch]

having vision does that

You watch him play and you realize how naturally he does it

he has the sneakiest triple doubles i have ever seen

And there is something else that a value even more than stats

If you go to Denver to watch a game of the Nuggets in the regular season, jokic will be AVAILABLE

he is going to be there playing

The others "stars" in the league will sit out for the smallest things

Not that I want the Heat to succeed

But it's shit like this that will make them probably win

I can already see the fucking storylines

Heat were given no chance to win, upset the basketball world

Dallas is the one team still alive for me. I wouldn’t mind any of the east teams but Dallas is my hope

[rustic mountain]

There's nothing really wrong with Dallas. They just are in Seattle's way and I want Seattle to take the cup now that the Leafsapointment and Oilspill happened
