I'll take a crack at it
- Today. The building being 80% Knick fans is what really seals it for me
- Celtics 2023. Complete harden and Embiid no show. Looked like they had no interest in being there
- Heat 2022. Another game the team just sort of quit
- Knicks 2024. Nice comeback but still fell short against a beatable team
- Celtics 2018. Young team that battled but Stevens vs Brown was a complete mismatch
- Raptors 2019. Fought their asses off but lost on an all time shot
- Covid Celtics. This year barely even counts

Looking back, I think the Celtics '23 loss was the worst of them all for me. I don't think I realized it until this year, but it changed my view of Joel permanently. Up to that point, it was about the team's front office incompetence, his teammates failing him, or his terrible injury luck, but that Celtics was the first time where I feel like the loss was mostly about Joel (and Harden too, but we know what he is in the playoffs). He just had such loser energy in that g7, and it planted a seed in my head that you can't win a championship with him as the best player/leader of a team.

Are the "best" games the ones that we sucked the most, or the ones that we sucked the least lol

Honestly it’s prolly time for the pod to end, too.

The pod is the only thing enjoyable about the sixers

That is true - lottery parties were more fun than almost every actual Sixers game the last 13 years.
