Basketball fans in New York City are fired for the NBA playoffs to start this weekend.
Well, Knicks fans seemed to be really excited. Brooklyn Nets fans seem to be a different story.
The Knicks are back in the playoffs for the first time the 2012-13 season and sold out their first-round home games against the Hawks in like 20 minutes.
The Nets, powered by Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving, and James Harden, have the No. 2 seed in the East and could very well end up playing for a title. But it seems like they’re having a tough time selling tickets because they’re currently using Harden to help push tickets… and to help pay for those tickets.
The Beard is 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘨𝘩. @JHarden13 will cover the cost of half your ticket for Games 1 and 2 when you use code HARDEN.

Knicks fans found that funny:
Knicks sold out playoff tickets in less than 20 minutes
Nets are having their stars beg fans to buy tickets for half off
There’s levels to this… https://t.co/10gJtE5OlY

It costs an arm & a leg to go see the Knicks in the playoffs WHILE OVER IN BROOKLYN they’ll give you an arm & a leg if you’ll agree to go https://t.co/vJiQCpFR2Q
