A Few Thoughts on Mavs 117, Spurs 110

[SportPsychMav]

That's what the Knicks thought about Porzingis.

Those games were for sure their game 6 and 7 of the finals.

It always amazes me how the Knicks fans never seem to move on and get a life.

Knicks are their life, it's hard to move on. Most people don't have a life. Many live through video games, internet, tv-series, sports teams, brand fandom.



Plus there is something called the sunk-cost effect if it interests you ?

Do you mean the illogical thought process that since you have already invested so much into something, that is reason enough in itself to invest more?

It's close enough yes. Sunk cost means since you have invested, you rather stick it out than writing it off, even though riding it out increases your losses. Like staying in a bad movie because you paid for it even though you dislike the movie. I guess you could state it like you just did it's good enough.

Default bias and omission bias probably also play a role. Maybe even gamblers fallacy.
