2. Those fans made a choice. They knew he was going to be there far in advance.

As much as I loathe him, for them I'm still like:

5. "least among them" can afford a $10k ticket.

7. Were they refundable so close to the game?

If you can't get the money back, wouldn't you want to use them?

Then again, maybe all those who went could sue the asshole for fucking everything up and make someone reimburse them. I hope he's miserable the whole time.

But you know he'll be up rage-tweeting all night.

8. Tickets only cost that much on secondary ticket sites.

Face value for the Finals range from $800 to $2500. Not a small price for sure but nothing like they go for on stubhub and other scalper sites.

10. Wow...

I wonder how people can pay that much for a game.

[durablend]

6. "That's for me, right?"

[BlueTsunami2018]

9. No trophy will be awarded tonight.

But he would try to barge in there if there were. NBA players are the least MAGA of all the major sports so I wonder if they’d even let him in.

4. Cartoon of the day:

[Grim Chieftain]

12. And one of these is an orange sack of...

Well, you know.

[B.See]

13. Correction:

an orange sack of shit. And I disagree with the notion that fans knew in advance what they were getting and therefore should've been okay with the inconvenience. So IMO, they had every right to express their displeasure.

14. This was on his Montreal Cognitive Assessment test,

which is why he passed with 'flying' colors!
