We’ve all been where the Brooklyn Nets put Chicago Bulls fans last night. Football, basketball, cricket, whatever — everyone knows that one team that always kills theirs — no matter the talent discrepancy.
For Brooklyn, it’s the Memphis Grizzlies, who even before Ja Morant fully developed and with the Nets boasting their 7/11 duo, rattled off seven straight wins vs them from 2019-2022. For the Atlanta Braves, it’s the Philadelphia Phillies. For the Dallas Cowboys, it’s anyone they face in the playoffs.
Just as a carriage turns into a pumpkin at midnight, these opposing units turn into the ‘17 Golden State Warriors, Murderers’ Row Yankees, or the ‘85 Chicago Bears every time they draw a team with your rooting interest as an opponent.
