Warriors were a pretty loveable team when they sucked. This has never been the case for the Knicks.
Yeah I get the sense that I've encountered the Warriors at the wrong time. Without the context of their history I just see a big fanbase that won't stop whingeing despite having an absolutely stacked team.

Warriors fanbase is unbearable but I find the team hard to hate these days tbh (Draymond antics aside). Glorious team to watch, and I genuinely didn't expect them to bounce back into contention as quickly as they have.

Sixers probably the worst for me after the lakers. Worst fanbase and their two stars are aesthetic warcrimes when it comes to their playstyle.

Pre Steph era Dubs were probably the most popular '2nd team' in the league. They had fun af teams, insane gear(especially their throwback stuff) and a pretty chill fanbase.

Pretty insane flip of the switch now though

Carrying on from here, what do you guys make of the Draymond Green show. Seen some clips on YouTube, it's a bit more insightful than some of the talking heads out there, but still shilling for his own team

Draymond is highly intelligent, good personality and will make a great pundit in the future

Same with JJ

Mavs look a radically better team in the last 2 games with Luka passing the love around a lot more.

Are the foul rules one big shrug or am I just not understanding the sport? Feels like every couple of minutes there’s some kind of collision, the refs blow a whistle and point in a random direction, and the commentators watch a replay and say ‘dang it Burt I just don’t know’.

Beats the hell out of me. The refs call what they want and it's always been like that.

It does seem like a nightmarish game to referee tbf.

The other strange thing is how every game ends with a long string of deliberate fouls by the losing team. Have they ever tried to change the rules to stop that? Or does it add some value that I’m missing? It seems like a pretty basic game design flaw.

Yeah I understand why they do it, but I don’t really understand why the rules encourage it.
