rapid reax 1/?
I'm still in disbelief re: what I watched happen at Madison Square Garden (from my couch) tonight. I'm sure I'll have actual thoughts eventually, but for the last hour and change I've just been sitting here in stunned silence thinking about the idea of knowing you're watching a classic while you're watching it.
TL;DR, I've got no real reax, just some tweets that got posted in my Discord —— quoted so you don't have to click through to the hellsite (you're welcome) —— and a Renaissance painting of a photograph that got appended to the last one of them:
You think you're done looking at it but you're not. Give it five more seconds.
1 Mississippi.
2 Mississippi.
3 Mississippi.
4 Mississippi.
5 Mississippi.
Thank you for indulging me.
Anyway, this is OMGGGGGGGG:
"NBA teams were 0-970 when down by 14 or more points in the final 2:50 of regulation in the playoffs over the last 27 postseasons. They are now 1-970."

But this is SRSLY WTF:
"Since 1996-97, teams that have trailed by 7+ in the final 50 seconds of the fourth quarter or OT in the playoffs are 4-1702. We have 3 of those wins, and they're all this year."
