re: NBA Finals game 1: tbirdspur’s Spurs vs jerrydonggobbler’s Knicks 7:30 ABC
Posted by Geauxgurt on 6/4/26 at 9:17 am to IamNotaRobot
It's one game, so I think people are making way too much out of it.
Knicks are well rested, and have had time to get over the rush of getting to the finals. They are also a more seasoned playoff team. No surprise that they were a little more focused this game.
Counter that with the Spurs who went through two tougher series including going to game 7 on the road, upsetting the reigning champions on their home floor and having to turn around after all of that emotion and then flipping the switch back. Their youth and lack of being there before came through and so anyone shocked by the Knicks winning this game are way overblowing it.
Hell, Philly beat that 2002 Lakers team in game 1 of OT only to get smashed the next 4 games.
It's one game and a great win for the Knicks. Knicks had to win this game to show they had a shot (which they do). Had they lost this game with everything in their favor like it was, then it was likely over.
Now the question will be if the Spurs are mature enough to refocus and get back on track.
They are the better team overall, but the Knicks are playing more efficient right now.

It was added later but both Magneto and Professor X are modeled on utterly disgusting human beings, which is the irony. They were used as political fodder and propaganda to try and win people over to certain views.
Adding in the backstories was done explicitly for that.
I think it also has to do with how much the race or look is linked to the role itself. People being upset with Helen of Troy being black see because she is explicitly described in such a way.
Ariel in the little mermaid? Her look defined her character in the original Disney film.
Bond is a Scot, so it is a big deal.
Others claiming certain actors can make it okay such as Denzel, but most people thought Denzel as Hannibal was and is ridiculous because it is a historic piece not purely fiction. It’s based on a real person.

The hypocrisy of Saban being the one talking about sanctity and competitive fairness in college sports, particularly football is hilarious.
The guy is one of the dirtiest coaches out there, and broke tons of rules and bent the rest of them, and honestly is the one that led it to this, then when he can't cheat as an advantage over everyone else, tucks his tail and runs, claiming the sport and players have changed.
I wish a congressman would turn it around and say, "But didn't the lack of AC magically get players back their eligibility for you?" Didn't the NCAA's rules not get enforced there?

Just finished watching this and the people bitching and moaning that HL is just a Trump surrogate and the writers are ate up with TDS are hilarious.
Trump is the reason you see him in most of the stupidity. He literally posted a meme of himself as Jesus before this shite even released, yet the writers are the mentally messed-up ones. Even worse, you all act like he didn't do that. :lol:
As for the season, it was meh, but had some good points. They left the ending (without virus released) and Vought still there because it allows for a continuation with spinoffs. It's not that shocking. It's stupid story-wise, but would have made more sense if they found a way to reverse the V and super powers thus making them immune to the virus. They had time now with HL out of the way and the Seven disbanded.

If you aren’t SA or OKC you might as well not watch the NBA because no one is beating them the next decade.
OKC won their only title to date with the help of key injuries to the Nuggets and a Haliburton-less Pacers. Think about that.
People massively overinflated how good of a team they are. They are a very good team but were never a generational team.

Funny how they benefitted from that exact scenario last year against the Nuggets and Pacers.
So he’s second to Bill B by a lot in all honesty in the last 25 years. He actually got even more bs to help his team than BB did and Pats got a lot.
He’s a great coach and will go down as a top 10 coach all time for now.

It’s only a small few who are complaining. Seriously, if there was a full on fan uprising we would know it. Outside of a few fan message boards and the usual propaganda out of the ACC, SEC, and BIG spring meetings no one is talking about this. And is because the vast majority of fanbases have no problem with FINALLY being able to cheat without having scholarships reduced or death penalties. The only ones complaining are the former power schools who suddenly have lost their main advantage.
World is pretty freaking messed up right now, so I think the outrage for sports has been significantly limited. We have complete morons for leaders the past 20 years and the country is going into the shitter.
People simply don’t have the energy to fight the college sports bs from a priority standpoint.
I have seen plenty of die hards now say they don’t give a shite about their alumni. They support it but as a low priority in their lives.
It is nowhere near what it was because everyone knows the joke it has become.

Kind of hypocritical of the guy that took full advantage of it and helped make it what it is becoming.
Spoken like a true Saban protege. Once the others start pushing the limits like them, then the sport is being destroyed.

Wemby’s biggest issue is health and I’d still give the Thunder the edge if they land Giannis
Giannis has his own health issues lately and is not near the player he used to be.
Also OKC is going to have to give up massive value for him which is going to hurt them.
It’s not like what happened with GSW and getting Durant. They are going to have to trade for him and it’s going to cost a lot. Bucks have even more leverage now.

OKC down 2 key guys was too much to overcome even with their depth.
You mean having a key player or two out or playing significantly injured helps the other team win?
Never would have guessed when OKC fans said it didn’t matter for them last year. :lol:
They didn’t get the massive luck of Gordon getting hurt last year and Haliburton’s Achilles exploding for the Pacers.
OKC will be a 1 and done champion, just watch.
quote:
It’s a foul if you hit the ball and hack the arm on the way through
Not if you are the Thunder. Also, no one clearly had the ball after the call and should have been a jump ball and instead was gifted to OKC.
You can’t make this shite up.
And SGA jumps sideways to get a foul into the defender and official gives it to him. I hate the NBA.

Wemby knocked to the ground again and no call. SGA gets breathed on or shoves a player off and gets the foul call on the other guy.
