There may not be a pettier league on the face of this planet than the NBA.<\/p>\n

Players, coaches, and even fans take great delight in the anguish of their rivals, and they will never miss an opportunity to twist the knife when given the chance.<\/p>\n

That gets ratcheted up even higher when the playoffs roll around, which is why this latest example of fan pettiness should come as no surprise.<\/p>\n

To set this up, when the Philadelphia 76ers won their play-in game against the Orlando Magic on Wednesday, the fans made it clear they were ready for their next opponent, the hated Boston Celtics.<\/p>\n

You gotta love the confidence here.<\/p>\n

Surely, there is no way this will backfire in any way, shape, or form, right?<\/p>\n

Getting punked in Game 1 is bad enough, but having the fans of the team that is currently punking you turn your own troll chant against you is extra brutal.<\/p>\n

You know what they say: be careful what you wish for, because you just might get it.<\/p>\n

Now, for a little dose of optimism for all the Philly fans.<\/p>\n

This is only game one, and as lopsided as the score was, your Sixers are only down 0-1 at the moment.<\/p>\n

As an added bonus, this was a road loss, so you really only need to win game two and shift home court advantage back in your favor.<\/p>\n

A series doesn’t start until the road team wins a game!<\/p>\n

So keep your chin up. There’s still plenty of basketball left to be played.<\/p>\n

And if you do somehow, miraculously get past the Celtics, I better not hear a single one of you saying “we want New York.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
