So Round One of the Battle of New York went to the Nets last night. Befitting two teams that are now tied for first place, it was a hell of a battle, even stretching into overtime, which is fun to watch but hard on your wallet as you have to buy the obligatory “overtime beer” if you’re sitting watching at a bar. Of course, it also gives you more time to be funny on Twitter, which plenty of people watching were.
People took issue with the way the Nets celebrated

Honestly, given the state of the Mets, Queens would probably welcome this
For those of you who aren’t sports fans: factoids like this are standard in sports coverage
Frank Isola brought the pain and risked getting bit
Yes, which is why the city’s official motto was changed to “Fuggedaboutit”
And everybody clowned on Brook Lopez. Poor, 7-foot millionaire Brook Lopez…
