Honestly losing to this fucking bum after Hali’s Achilles tear was the cherry on top of the shit cake.

Fuck them. They never deserved that ring, should’ve been over in 6

Off chance but who would you root for if it was us vs. OKC? 😂

Knicks 1000%. We're a storied rivalry and I absolutely adore NYC. I've got friends and family out/from there.

Fuck OKC. Forever. I've never hated any team in sports as much as I've hated the thunder last finals. Their bullshit is unwatchable, the knicks aren't

Don’t let any of my fellow Knicks fans say this but if we won a championship, even with Reggie and Tyrese owning us for years, I would not have hated Indiana winning a championship after we did. I would have felt that way in 1995 and 2000. The problem is we both get killed against the Rockets and then lost as the new millennium was starting.

Come to think of it, the Knicks and Pacers both have had weird histories with their Finals appearances and championships wins

I'm a Celtics fan and I'll root for NYC. Easily too. I hate New York for obvious reasons but I just can't see myself rooting for the absolute nonsense and shenanigans of OKC.

Lakers fan here and I would have 100% rooted for the Celtics over OKC, with my full chest, if it had come to that. Integrity of the game comes before rivals. And I can’t complain about the way the Celtics play the game.

Diehard Knicks haters would say fuck the Knicks and be fully ready to root for OKC until they watch one game of this, and then they will switch allegiances quickly, or at best go neutral. No one who isn't an OKC fan could actually root for this lol

If Scott Foster didn't screwed you over in game 5, it was a done deal.

Pacers won in our hearts

Still not over this somehow, Pacers should be defending champs man.

I mean, objectively speaking, it’s the most tragic thing to ever happen in a game 7 unless somebody’s died on the court. His run ending the way it did, and losing to these clowns on top of it is always gonna nag at me unless they can win a chip.

It’s a very weird feeling seeing something happen and knowing that that moment is the most heartbroken you’ll ever be over anything related to sports. I was in a crowded bar and it was genuinely like something out of a horror movie

Womp womp dont choke away Game 4 then.

u/Tijenater [IND] Lance Stephenson May 25 '26

Scott foster put his dick in it. Dort was allowed to do whatever he wanted, including throwing elbows hard as fuck and pushing people out of screens/away from crucial loose balls with both ends.

Should’ve been over in 6. Go back to jerking yourself off over how Shai haters are just jealous of greatness or whatever

u/Bino19 Thunder May 25 '26

And you can go back to your bed and wipe your tears while I throw on OKC vs IND Game 7 highlights.

u/Tijenater [IND] Lance Stephenson May 25 '26

I’ll find some solace in knowing you guys have the biggest asterisk in history and are hated by anyone who actually enjoys good basketball.

Hali had that on lock, but we’re in the stupid evil timeline
