Ho Hum...Knicks Win. Just Wait Till We Play Utah

[Scramantha]

Forgive me, I've just come off a back-to-back on this forum and today was supposed to be my load management day.
I'll be better tomorrow.

(And, Scaramanga, if you have watched BIG BANG THEORY, then your thoughts on comedy are completely irrelevant. It's like a Utah Jazz fan talking basketball.)

You have the congenial troll part down, I will absolutely give you that. But it's just not that funny. I don't know how else to say it. It's as if you might have decent content, then it's run through a committee to ensure it's appropriate for sheltered 9 year olds, then we get whatever generic bullsh*t you say. I just feel like a forum of this caliber that discusses a team of this level deserves more quality trolling. I'll let it go now, because whatever. But for now you're way too mediocre to take up this much space. As somebody who lives out of the country, I want to hear more about the Jared Butler kid and less of you. Sorry?

OK, how about this:

Guy goes to see his doctor and Doc says, "I got good news and bad news."
Guy says, "OK give me the good news first."
"The good news is you have 24 hours left to live."
"24 hours left to live? That's the good news? Well, what's the bad news?"
Doc says, "I was trying to reach you all day yesterday."

OK, give me one more try:

What did one Grateful Dead fan say to the other Deadhead when they ran out of weed?
"Boy, this music really sucks."

You will be happy to know that FiveThirtyEight.com, for the first time ever, gave the Knicks a higher than 0.1% chance of winning the championship. It's now 0.6%.

I don't think you are reading that right. I do believe your chart means that the Knicks will win The Finals in 6 games. (According to that chart, Pacers would need 7, Knicks will do it it in only 6).

Ho hum...we just played our fourth game...and we won again.

4-0. UNDEFEATED!
I told you. We are the best in the league.

Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one receives the prize?

Yup, Mr. Corinthians, it is us Knicks that receive the prize:

Hey let's make it interesting. I'll bet you $1000 that the Knick's won't make the finals at all. Someone here can hold the money. Seems like a fun idea, right? I mean I'm basically just handing you $1000 right? The winner will be determined as soon as the Knick's either win the championship in 2022 (then you win), or they get knocked out of the playoffs (then I win). Deal?

Make sure to add a provision that they won't even make the playoffs. Or the play-in games. Cover all your bases.

Uhh, don't you realize I am a street-smart guy from New York, not some rube from some jerkwater Utah town that has cow paths not streets?

You want to bet a grand the Knicks don't make it to the Finals? Uhh, Vegas has the Knicks laying 8,000 dollars to get The Finals. So here's the real deal: I lay 1 buck and you put up 8,000. Let's see if you do that.

Ok. You bet 1000 and I'll cover it with 8,000,000 that the Knicks don't make the finals. Gotta make it interesting. And I'm giving you even better odds because the bet isn't to win the finals, but that the Knicks don't even appear in the finals.

So here's another one so you can save face. I will bet you $500 straight up that the jazz go deeper in the playoffs than the Knicks do. If they both get knocked out in the same round then whichever team put up more of a fight wins. So if they lose in the 2nd round and the Knicks lose in 5 and the jazz lose in 6, I win. A perfect tie will be broken by most points scored over the course of the entire playoffs.

Ho hum...another game in the NBA for us last night....and another win.

We are undefeated, you know. Be afraid Jazz fans, be very afraid.

We are the best ever! There's no one that can match us! Our style is impetuous, our defense is impregnable, and we're just ferocious. We want your heart. We want to eat your children!!!
