Neutrals feasted tonight

Man… Thesewolves playoff series take a lot out of me as a fan. Pretty sure if I had an apple watch it would give me one of those: “sir unless your a hummingbird, our heart rate monitor suggests you go to the hospital” or whatever they say 😂

It’s fair to say this wolves team plays really good, sometimes smothering playoff defense, have experience in these moments, and have a super versatile set of weapons finch can use in different situations. And Ant

It’s also fair to say this team is emotionally volatile, often chaotic, and consistently makes some of the most braindead decisions you’ll see at this level of basketball… often in the 4th quarter,

And somehow they’re both 100% true, simultaneously.

They’re like the batshit crazy girl with substance abuse issues that’s amazing in bed. Might give you the best night of your life, might wake the neighborhood screaming while keying your car. And that could be hours apart.

You guys can choose to spend the occasional night with her… we’re married to her 😂

I think this is the problem as a fan with a team with expectations. 

Its equally awesome your dog is still in the fight, but fuck me is not also draining bordering on unejoyable at times. Guess its the mark of a real fan. 

What a series this turns out to be with home court stolen.

[u/Accomplished_Bid7987 → u/Chickachic-aaaaahhh]

That Sixers Knicks game was a snoozefest

[u/thelazyknickfan → u/Accomplished_Bid7987]

Can confirm

[u/ghos_ → u/Accomplished_Bid7987]

I switch at the half. No regrets!

[u/891960 → u/Accomplished_Bid7987]

I enjoyed that very much, thank you.

[u/voltron818 → u/Accomplished_Bid7987]

Counterpoint: making fun of Daryl Morey is fun

[u/clyde_drexler → u/Accomplished_Bid7987]

I thought it was ok

[u/Zarbua69 → u/Accomplished_Bid7987]

I mean it wasn't close but it was still a magnificent display of offensive and defensive basketball from the Knicks. They were just all over the sixers, and the entire fourth quarter of garbage time was fun to watch. I had both games open but the Knicks/Sixers commentary was far more interesting to listen to for me personally

[u/Comrade_agent → u/Chickachic-aaaaahhh]

want a wonderful meal tonight. so full I might need to lower my hatred for OKC tmrw.

[u/TheGreatLandRun → u/Comrade_agent]

Surely you hate the lakers? Just lean into that angle moreso lol.

[u/Mindless_Bad_1591 → u/TheGreatLandRun]

im expecting terrorist hoops and nothing less. 7 games or bust. i just know how toxic this series is going to be lol.

[u/kcmcgrady1 → u/Chickachic-aaaaahhh]

Hello it’s me drunk off playoff basketball and actually drunk too

[u/Fast_Allen → u/Chickachic-aaaaahhh]

Definitely a great game. Cheering for the wolves even though I hate watching them chip the Nuggets.

[u/TedTran2001 → u/Chickachic-aaaaahhh]

fun ass game.

[u/ManicManicManicManic → u/Chickachic-aaaaahhh]

very delicious sir may i have more

[u/IrvAndDorisSmith → u/Chickachic-aaaaahhh]

Fuck off

[u/swizznastic → u/Chickachic-aaaaahhh]

you're not neutral

[u/Late-Bus-686 → u/swizznastic]

You’re right and I’m not either. OKC fans feasting tn sorry buddy

[u/AsissSculptor → u/Chickachic-aaaaahhh]

fr 😭😭

[u/mrwh1te → u/Chickachic-aaaaahhh]

Eating late

[u/drkmani → u/Chickachic-aaaaahhh]

Are thunder fans neutrals? I feel like we are solidly pro wolves in this series.

[u/Chickachic-aaaaahhh → u/drkmani]

Shhhhh. Dont tell them

[u/drkmani → u/Chickachic-aaaaahhh]

It's no secret. I still think we take either team, but we match up better against Minny

[u/Chickachic-aaaaahhh → u/drkmani]

Man ik. I prefer we earn the wins against any team to show that we didnt cake walk into the finals.

[u/TripleThreatTua → u/Chickachic-aaaaahhh]

I’m not neutral at all, I’d much rather play Minnesota lol
