Yeah but how do you just start rooting for a new team when you've rooted for another for a long time? How does that actually work? Do you feel invested?


I couldn't imagine switching to another team. It would be so weird.


Agree! So you're a Nets fan from the New Jersey, Continental Airlines Arena/IZOD Center days? Those were pretty rare even before the team left New Jersey! Respect!

Can you stop acting like missing out on a player who tore his Achilles is the end of the world


I was talking about Dolan's awful leadership in general, I wasn't even thinking about Kevin Durant.


BUT YOU WERE :nod: :nod: :nod:

Some of y'all Nets fans around here are like the needy co-workers hitting on married men at the office. It's nasty and frankly a little pathetic.

Enjoy your season and focus on your team. No need to try to convince people to switch teams or "come over to the dark side". It's just creepy.


You're angry, upset, frustrated, and bitter. I understand.

I don't know, I've always been a Nets fan for the last 20+ years so I couldn't tell you how someone could just change teams like that. But if Knick fans were frustrated enough to start following the Nets I wouldn't blame them.

He’s clearly being sarcastic hence the “dark side”(the knicks turmoil is what’s dark right now) The fact that that small joke got a reaction out of you like this shows your bothered.


Some Knick fans know the trash talk and jokes are all in fun, some folks however get heated. It happens.

I'm really not sure why everyone is on the Nets bandwagon?

They signed a guy whose amazing, but will be 32 years old coming off an Achilles next time he plays. They downgraded at pg for a ball hog with no heart whose only accomplishment is hitting 1 big shot and riding Lebrons coattails. When he went to his own team, he failed MASSIVELY. Then they signed an over the hill relies only on athleticism center with no range.

They are "Cool" but, I don't see this team ever sniffing a ship. People talking like its a guarantee. They are probably no better this year than last. Hell maybe worse

Oh and the owner is speaking out against freedom.

What a time to be alive.

Laughing at you for making an utterly stupid statement is now being called triggered? I think you may need to rethink how you're using the term buddy.

What’s the highlight of Rappaports career?

Unnamed Delivery man in Next Friday?
Popcopy employee in Chappelles Show?
Getting Phoebe’s number instead of issuing a ticket for illegally parking her cab in Friends?
or that video from last year with that weird faced cat?

Tough call, but I'm gonna have to go with suing Barstool Sports because they said he had herpes. If he manages to land the role to star as Brian Scalabrine in his biopic, that would probably be his opus magnum though.

Referring to the resting place of Jimmy Hoffa as a "dive" is blasphemous.

Nothing more disgusting and disgraceful than front running bandwagon fans, especially when they are celebrities.
