I thoroughly enjoyed seeing the Chiefs get clapped on national TV in the Super Bowl. The Mahomes vs. Brady debates. All the Kelce/Swift stuff. Mahomes' family being annoying especially his wife and TikTok brother.

Then Brady gets to call the game where Mahomes gets blown out. I guess Mahomes can't win the big game with Brady in the building in some capacity. Poetic justice.

Btw, where are Mahomes' annoying brother, Kelce and Taylor Swift lately? You know if they won we'd have to deal with all of them in the media all offseason too. Thankfully we don't.

I revel in Laker misery.   I normally couldn't care less about Knick fans because they were all hiding in the closet before this year.  now that they've come out of hiding and rejoiced over how they hacked their way to beating the C's with the help of the incompetent refs, I will thoroughly enjoy them losing to the Pacers

Absolutely. I might even hate the Lakers more than I love the Celtics. Seeing them get eliminated in the first round is one of my personal highlights from this season.

Same here. I don't want any Celtics-Lakers Final at all since it gives them a chance to match our banner 18. I want them to be eliminated in the 1st round every year so they don't get any high draft pick either.

Unforutnately there's still the idiot GM problem of gifting them players

I always liked the Knicks. Never felt much of a rivalry with them. The team's best eras never coincided much.

Last time they were both strong at the same time was in the first half of the 1970s. NY was never a contender in the 80s. NY didn't become a contender under Ewing until 1992 at which point Larry Bird was leaving the building and Boston's title hopes had expired. NY hasn't been a title contender since Ewing left the team until now. They had only one good team in that 25 years with Melo. And it took an injury to Rondo for them to even manage to beat BOS that season. Meanwhile Boston was dominant with KG. And dominant again over last 6-7 years with Tatum and Co.

They never really overlapped.

I always enjoyed the 1990s Ewing Knicks. I loved the physical basketball they played. I still watch some old games I have them today.

Quoting Nick from the now locked Ime thread:

At some point you have to blame the performance on the court on the players on the court. Every loss is not the coach's fault and every win isn't because of the players.

1 Lakers
2. Sixers
3. Knicks
4. Heat

Would be my list as well, though I could keep going and name a reason for my hatred of every other franchise in the league as it relates to a specific circumstance involving our Celtics.

Russell - Cowens - Bird - Garnett

The Four Celtic Lieutenants:
Cousy - Havlicek - McHale - Pierce

Absolutely LOVE this Karma. So tired of seeing Brunson get every call on every move he makes to initiate contact. I LOVE seeing KAT with his tongue not sticking out after he hits 3s. I LOVE seeing Hart play like the average player he really is. GO PACERS! Go Nesmith and Go Carlisle!!

I will say that Mitchell Robinson is an absolute BEAST and if not for his offensive rebounding and defense I am not sure if the Knicks are even close. So tired of the Brunson/KAT two man show.
