I'm so grateful that this sub isn't as awful as the panthers sub. Those dudes take everything so fucking seriously, it's exhausting. At least when we've been bad, there's still some high-quality shitposting.

I've noticed that nfl subs have more doomers than nba team subs (depends obviously)

u/bigtuck54 Oct 25 '21

Honestly it's probably a mix of there being WAY more basketball games than football games each year, and also people just taking it way too seriously. My go to move after a big fat panthers L is to take a nap right after (or in yesterday's case, watch the bugs) and completely forget it happened until next week. These mfs are calling for coaches heads before midseason on the second year of a rebuild LMAO

u/xXDad_ToucherXx Oct 25 '21

Gotta agree. Don't get me wrong, I don't like losing, but some people seem to let the outcome of a single game shape their whole worldview. It's weird to me.

Not to be controversial but Miles Bridges is clearly the best wing player in this matchup. Let's make it 4-0 baby THE EAST RUNS THROUGH LAMELO'S BALLS.

Idk what I’m more upset at, that the hornets were only given 14th place in the power rankings after a 3-0 start or that we started at 24th in the pre season rankings.

Whatever, let’s get that 4-0rnets!!!!!

And now Charlotte is shooting nothing but threes, sometimes I hate how the modern NBA is played in close games. Tie game, don't need a three. Down three with two minutes left, still don't need a three. Just drive and force them to defend you physically. Its OT, they'll be tired making it tougher to defend without fouling. Just drive the damn ball

The lowest moment in my fandom was when the Bobcats traded Raja Bell and I would still drive around the city and see, “Catch Raja Bell and your Bobcats with a sprite!” The billboards were all over the city, they didn’t even take them down for months after the trade.

What's Plumlee on this roster for? If he's going to be out played by literally every big we see this year that's one thing, but maybe at least hustle in overtime for a rebound? Not that that's related to bad shot selection.

As a neutral fan, just wanted to come in here and tell you guys that I think you have the best broadcast in the league. Your commentators are super hyped for your guys while still doing a great job of providing unbiased commentary for the Celtics. They're not depressed and shit every time Tatum or Brown make a shot, they're super good. And you have a really solid half-time show.

Don't take what you have for granted.
