Tottenham are not the Red Sox of the PL
They’re not the Bulls of the PL.
They’re the Mets. They just are.
The dude who posts like 90% of the highlight clips on /r/nba quotes himself in his bio
This shit is unwatchable
This era of OKC will be remembered as a poop stain to the game of basketball.
The Hartenstein might be the real MVP of the series piece. I’m watching this guy commit 10 fouls a quarter and they call like… one? Maybe? All-time whistle.
Trying to enjoy an awesome series between two great teams as a neutral through the annoying foul discourse
Can I be sincere for a sec?
The Bill and Zoe segment on today’s pod was worth listening to. Yes, a lot of the stuff Zoe was talking about was ridiculous, but they have such a great relationship.
I loved when Zoe was talking about all these young people who accomplished things and Bill goes “you’re doing great. I’m so proud.” Then they spoke about the 21st birthday and drinking together and growing up.
So much of culture now, especially podcasts about sports like fun at things and are mean spirited. But Bill doesn’t really do that, he has his daughter on and they laugh together.
Idk, I’ve been listening and reading to Bill on and off for years. The humor has always been there, and the sincerity is there too
I would use a Time Machine to kill Sam Presti, not Hitler
Hartenstein? Reminds me of that other German who committed several fouls.
Not sure I've ever seen anything like Shai going after Hartenstein in the postgame interview
he tried to play it off as a joke but it very obviously wasn't and the reporter said "appreciate the honesty"
Okay now make the referees give all the calls to the second smallest market team with the un-marketable star player
2014 ROTY Michael Carter-Williams is a speaker of truths, allegedly
Jalen Williams and Harper were pretty much nonexistent in the second half
As someone who has been slowly drifting away from the NBA
This series has me completely glued to the screen. Best basketball I have seen in years. I legit cant wait for game three and I have barely cared about the league the past 5 seasons. Elite stuff.
At what point is Hartenstein just in the game to hurt people?
6 points
5 rebounds
18 arm bars
1 hair pull
One of the best series of basketball in years but a lot of the narrative & highlights are focused on dirty fouls / flops
Just very interesting and disappointing to see. The entire page of /r/nba is full of replays of flops and fouls by OKC, and it's completely justified. The narrative is growing really strong, but at the same time everyone is feeling how incredible this series is. I've been watching basketball since the early 2000s and it's incredible the level of skill across the board the best teams have in the NBA now.
OKC is peak refinement culture. They do everything well even when it comes to playing unfair and bending the rules. I don't think we've ever seen it at this level and it's just repulsing people. Disorientating because they are one of the most talented teams ever.
