The NBA Subreddit has a daily Match Thread with Parent comments to each game on that day.
I believe it was done that way because we just don’t have the traffic on Lemmy at the moment to support separate game threads.
Which I guess is basically what happens here, but with the added “pre-populated” parent comments for each game.
I saw this goal on socials this morning and thought “wow what a goal” - didn’t realise it was in the 2nd minute of the game!
