GAME 2 Playoffs 2024: Dallas Mavericks (1-0) vs. Minnesota Timberwolves (0-1)

[Knutsen]

I have missed hanging out in the game thread the past two games (can't come back until the Mavs lose, just in case it upsets the baseball gods), but absence comes with the perk of getting to read through it the next day. Some of y'all are prone to hysteria and I'm here for it.

Being afraid to upset the baseball gods of all gods is a whole new level of superstition, Killer… 

I‘m reading the gamethreads afterwards as well, only the last pages when we lost, but chronologically from the beginning after we won, because it’s a great way of going through the motions one more time until the happy ending with the pure enjoyment and happiness. During the games I‘m busy enough holding my own nerves in check, I need my fingernails to chew on, no chance to use them for posting on the board… 

Great you‘ve been on the drumline, so we‘ve probably seen you in action without knowing a lot of times! Being from Germany I‘ve never been able to see a Mavs game live, I‘ve only been to one NBA game in my life, which was a playoff game of the Jazz against the Kings in 2002, in Utah of all places. What can I say, Utah is a bad city!
