Ghostbusters, Mean Girls, Wonka, and the Brooklyn Nets vs the Golden State Warriors in 2024. This evening’s contest had all the makings of box office commonality today: a remake of a film with a nostalgic title, but lacking in the entertainment value its more popular predecessor carried.
While Golden State’s reign as a “super team” will likely be remembered as dynasty, whereas Brooklyn’s looked more like a failed rebellion, tonight collectively felt like nerfed matchup compared to what we’ve gotten from each in years past. Two teams we’re used to seeing fight for top playoff positioning instead duked it out for the chance to merely stay alive for a play-in bid.
