To borrow a wise man’s word:
Breathe.
Breathe again.
If you have a blood pressure monitor handy, just take a second and see what’s up. For your peace of mind and mine.
Good. Now breathe again.
And again.
That’s just a little blood! Don’t worry. It’s fine. A little blood on the breath never hurt anyone. We’ll worry about that later.
One more time.
…
HOLY
FUCKING
SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIITTTTTTTTTTTTTHHHHHHHIIIIIIIIITTTTTTTTT!
Guys. What is happening?
Ok, I know we all see what is happening. The New York Knicks—YOUR New York Knicks, MY New York Knicks, the most beloved basketball team in the most basketball-obsessed of cities, the perennial knuckleheads who intermittently shine but mostly disappoint, suddenly gifting us the sublimest, toughest, fuck-you-i-est iteration in the history of the sport—are now up 2-0 on the (once-favored) San Antonio Spurs in the NBA Finals.
And yet the way in which this is happening—the brute intensity, the narrative drama, the Scott Foster followed immediately by Tony Brothers—somehow escapes lingual containment.
Whatever our futile words, we’ll take two more of these happenings.
Oh, stuff definitely happened! Emotions were had. Some exultant. Some alarming. Shots were made. Others went wildly astray. Fouls were called. Until they weren’t. One guy got fouled on the hair. That was fucked up. Josh Hart did Josh Hart things (not laudatory). Nose blood was discharged. Lightning-rod players threw the lightening back like Zeus himself. Heroes faltered. Only to rise again at just the right moment. And a 17-foot j that could’ve swung the series in a violent and irreversible way clanked mercifully into the air as the final buzzer sounded.
Let’s get into it, by way of some shitty screenshots of texts from people who are just as unhinged about all this as we are.
As I broached in Point 1 of my Game 2 preview, it was a given that the baby monsters would come out looking to rip some heads off. Stay within 10. That was the goal.
They drilled four of their first eight threes.
We did—for the most part. Jalen hit his first; then KAT; then OG. The ball was moving. Containing their dribble-drives proved slightly more problematic. But we were hanging in. Working. Lurking.
And then, well… we all saw it.
He’s gonna have that game. The magnet-ball game. The peak-Draymond-stat-line game. We all believe it. It just wasn’t tonight.
(Sorry I screenshotted “Screenshot” on most of these, by the way. Real amateur shit. Screenshotted? Screenshat? I’m tired.)
Despite Josh’s straight-up albatross basketball, /taps sign aggressively:
Josh wasn’t the only one wyldin out there. This was certainly a decision that happened, for example:
I’m still not sure I understand it. Maybe it bought KAT a few extra breaths in the end. Brown has a tendency to make weird rotational gambles (this wasn’t the only one).
Then again, when your team wins 13 playoff games in a row (a thing that has happened), choose your coaching criticisms carefully.
Here’s a take that didn’t age well:
It’s true that Mikal’s spatial sweet spot has the unfortunate distinction of being the exact space Wemby exists to control.
Oh well. I guess our wiry warrior won’t be much of a factor moving forward.
Deuce, on the other hand—he should have plenty of opportunities to shine in this series.
About that:
He was bad. Chick-fil-A bad. On both ends. Though his high-arching 15-foot fadeaway in the fourth was undoubtedly huge. Gonna need more from our one-time spark plug extraordinaire. And soon.
Things were looking dire. Down by double digits. Helplessly grasping for some semblance of coherent offense with Jalen on the bench.
Who can we turn to? Oh right—the guy who’s now the odds-on favorite to win Finals MVP.
He was remarkable. Tough. Resolute. Decisive. Calming. The drives. The put-backs. The timely threes. The fucking DEFENSE.
And THIS GUY!?
So after the Knicks traded for Mikal and the whole cost-discourse thing was already reaching toxic levels, a few of us made a wager on whether he’d hit 35% of his threes and the losers had to buy the winners corned beef sandwiches.
He hit 35.4%. And now we call him Beef.
Mikal was otherworldly. He picked his spots sagely, guarded like a motherfucker, and wound up dominating that once impossible space—albeit largely with Wemby on the bench.
Vibes were on the upswing. But life in this league comes at you fast:
This “foul on the hair” thing has to be addressed. A third of Vassell and Castle’s respective heights is literally all follicles. I highly recommend the league fix this asap. Unless you want us bringing Marge Simpson off the bench next season.
Despite an increasingly egregious whistle, our boys kept battling. The Spurs, meanwhile, began to show their age.
And zooming out a bit:
It’s true. You simply CANNOT let these dudes hang around. They’re too smart, too talented, too tough, too experienced, too connected, too attuned to that holiest of hooping wavelengths, and too aware of the bigger picture—what this means for them, the city, these fans, the grand sweep of basketball history, the presidential ambitions of Future President Zohran Mamdani—to not put boot to neck when you have the chance.
Oh, there were other forces in play!
But none, it seemed, as powerful as….
The machine was humming again. Shots were falling. Passes were flying off hands like skipping stones on a placid pond. KAT bullied Wemby for boards. OG dunked right in his fucking face (happened!). The celebration was imminent.
Then came their barrage. One haymaker after another. The baby monsters, it seemed, had woken from their midday naps. And they were cranky.
Dudes just kept stepping up. Shamet? Clutch af. KAT? Tenacious. Deuce? Most definitely not dead!
But their momentum soon felt unstoppable; Harper, unsolvable; Wemby, terrifyingly reenergized. We needed something. Anything. By gift or grift—I did not give a single shit.
Another disastrous possession. A desperate heave. One of the most clutch coach’s challenges in the history of sports:
He did. Ice water. And not a little redemption for… it shall go unmentioned.
The futility resumed.
A Wemby and-1 in transition put them up two. Desperate times.
Jalen tied it—on a patently-Jalen decel-int0-fadeaway. Because of course he did. He’s struggled this series, no question. The Spurs are making life hellish for him. But if anyone deserves to steal another legend’s nickname, it’s Our Answer, goddammit.
That pesky clock, tho…
The Spurs got a little too cute: a Wemby jumper EARLY in a 2-for-1 that clanked and gave us new life. Do I get the strategy? Yes. The process? Also yes, as it turns out! Because it backfired spectacularly!
Jalen missed a tough one, but headily snuffed out the counter-attack, got fouled… and made one of two at the line.
Whooooooooo boy. Man. Not ideal!
This is where the nightmare begins, isn’t it? Right now, in this game, up 1-0, about to be 1-1, a gut-spilling game that was ours to steal, all the momentum on their side, the video-game alien resurrected by the kind of energy pellet that only a game-winner can summon from the top of the screen and…
WUT.
HOW.
HUH?
Unbelievable. Absolutely unbelievable.
And it all happened.
How are we feeling, Silverman family?
Y’all look tired, ngl. But the kind of tired that feels electric. Now go to bed!
Gotta think the boys are feeling much the same way. With one critical caveat—delivered by the man who embodies the spirit of this team in a uniquely beautiful and cathartic way:
Stay desperate at all times.
If that’s not a perfect summation of what it is to be a Knicks fan—desperate for relevance, desperate for a star, desperate for a draft pick that’ll turn the whole thing around, desperate for sustained success, desperate for the high and mighty notes the most beloved squads were able to nail (title-winning or not), desperate for another banner, desperate for the kind of surreal memories that will bring smiles to our faces for literally the rest of our lives, desperate for a TEAM EXACTLY LIKE THIS—I don’t know what is.
Stay desperate at all times.
I don’t know if it’d look good on a t-shirt. But I’ll sure as hell buy one.
It’s happening, guys. It’s really happening.
Two more.
Two more.

Insane game…
Worst refereed, most one sided game I’ve ever seen. The shouting guy is right.
Stay desperate, all times. Has to be on a t-shirt.
A player, in a Knicks game, just made out of the worst turnovers in NBA Finals history, and it was somehow NOT a Knick player!
What kind of wonderful universe are we now living in?!
Stay desperate at all times!
Also, can someone run down to the bodega and get me a bacon egg and cheese?
Still blows my mind this happened
https://www.reddit.com/r/nba/comments/1ty5zwo/lowlight_wemby_passes_to_castle_who_is_not/
I can’t believe it happened, either. They probably don’t score there, and the Knicks just win in overtime, but holy shit, what an epic fuckup. It’s up there with the Webber timeout and the Nick Anderson missed free throws. People will always remember it.
Groggy post: The depth of this team is amazing. Cap having a rough night, KAT sidelined by mal whistle-Mikal and OG step up. That play where OG drove on Wemby, paused then dunked is seared in my subconscious.
Knicks’ fans weren’t the only ones noticing the reffing. I read a comment in a Cavs blog that it wasn’t good for the Cavs that they didn’t win a game where the refs were on their side and Brunson had a bad game. He’s right but it doesn’t make me more confident about game three.
That no Brunson no KAT lineup that we all hated came through big time. Usually Jalen plays the entire 3rd quarter, and Brown just sits him on the bench in the most important game of everyone’s careers.
Brunson was the only Knick to score a FG in the last 6:04 of the 4Q last night.
After being the only Knick to score a FG in the last 8:49 of the 4Q in Game 1.
Yes, KAT’s had great stretches and there’s been useful depth, but Brunson is the only NYK with a game to (predictably) create a shot when the half court defense is clamping down in the 4Q.
With the Knicks up 102-101, Brunson took a possession off and went and stood in the corner. I’m saying (to my brother, who’s saying the same): Jalen, Go Get the Ball!. Bridges, left to his own devices, (predictably) turned the ball over, starting an and-1 fast break the other way that put SAS up 104-102.
Brunson is it, for better, for worse.
Haha yes.
If you are the Spurs, how do you lose this game?
You can’t give this Knicks team chances. If you do, you are dead.
Great stuff Jim!
I still can’t get over the shift Jose Mikal Deuce Landry and Mitch put in.
Bridges got Thibs fired because Thibs didn’t play the bench. Our bench saved us.
Also, Landry is on the verge of never buying a drink again in this town. He has been so good.
All I could think about last night as I finally drifted off was the end of The Matrix,
“He’s beginning to believe”
Im so glad they survived the ref fest that last night was. Look at this shit:

https://x.com/snapshotkyle/status/2063071036808245626
It’s possible I curse too much in my texts
It’s OK, Kevin. You can go curse in the new thread!
Brown just having no problem sitting Hart for Shamet in games where Hart doesn’t have it swung the game last night and is a great example of a thing that Thibs (and to be clear, if we finish this we need to send Thibs a ring for the part he played in building toward this) would never ever ever ever ever EVER have done.
Beautiful writing, Jim.
Didn’t Mikal specifically mention Landry, too, when he spoke to the press about it?
The decision not to make a move at the trading deadline, a big move, was brilliant.
This team is tight
We have very little to complain about right now, but does anyone have any theories as to why Jalen is struggling? It feels like we’re one “Jalen Brunson playing like Jalen Brunson” away from an uncompetitive, relaxing sweep.
I’ve been monitoring him closely for signs of physical limitations after the game 1 nicks, and it does seem like he’s less than 100%. His ability to create separation specifically seems compromised. But it’s hard to separate this from the absolute shaft of a whistle/lack thereof we all agree he’s getting.
There are some shots I’m sure will simply start falling (e.g. the threes) and I sure as hell am not joining the long line of people who have declared there to be a Jalen Brunson Problem after an uneven start to a series, because they tend to wind up humiliated. But any ideas?
Seemed like in game 2 the Spurs turned up the ball pressure on Brunson and that wore him down a little. We missed a LOT of open shots in game 2 that seemed to be pure variance, shots that rattled in and out.
Hey Noble, I said it in a different thread, but I give much of the credit for Jalen struggling to Castle. You can say what he did was illegal all game long, but he so bodied Jalen, full court, that the poor lad couldn’t get anything going. Castle is a shitty offensive player, but man he played (illegal) defense last night.
Also, a number of shots Jalen took were influenced by Wemby. Jalen seemed to arc his shot more than usual when Wemby was in the vicinity, and he missed a lot of those. I find it hard to blame him.
These two things seemed to have unduly influenced his game. I wonder if Brown can come up with a game plan to give Brunson more freedom.
He did. Hubert are you hedging, or all in on your brilliant insight that the Knicks are the best bet something like 11 wins ago?
Yeah, the defense against Jalen reminds me of the Pacers series so much as someone mentioned in the other thread. If big strong defenders are allowed to body him like they have been, it makes his life a struggle, especially when he goes straight into the teeth of it.
He also.just missed some shots. We had a fast break, Mikal I think, and he found Jalen for three with no one within 15 feet. If he sinks that it’s a huge narrative shift
Also, amazing angle of the backfumble
https://x.com/FiddlesPicks/status/2063175598403395687/video/1?s=46
The pass was bad but Wemby didn’t have to foul him. It was the perfect trapportunity
The Spurs had a higher offensive rating in game 2, but the Knicks held them to a lower expected eFG in game two. The Spurs expected eFG in that game was a paltry 48%, their lowest mark of the entire season and the worst by a team in the Finals since 2019.
The Spurs actually had variance in their favor in this game on top of everything else, and still lost.
I think Brunson is just pressing because he wants to show the Spurs that no matter what they throw at him he can overcome it. To me, there seems to be some ego involved.
And I sort of get it? We definitely need him to be better, including making shots against the defensive tactics that are hyperfocused on him. He is, first and foremost, a volume scorer. We need him to be that.
So it’s up to Mike Brown to sit down with him and the game film from both games, and try to bump up the efficiency numbers by tweaking his tactics. The first thing they should do is get into their offense more quickly. Brunson dribbling out by halfcourt for 10 seconds is leading to lots of 24-second violations or rushed shots late in the clock.
The trick is to do this without turning the ball over, which is really critical against this Spurs team that wants to get out in transition. A 24-second violation is a dead-ball turnover. And even a rushed floater from Brunson or a rushed 3 as the clock expired is an opportunity for an offensive rebound, especially if Wemby is out of the rebounding picture.
One thing that would help a lot is is Josh Hart can be more effective out there. 3 points in 2 games (1-9 shooting) is dragging down the offense.
The good news for me is that Brunson rarely has 3 bad shooting games in a row. Three days to process the first two games and make some adjustments will probably help.
I feel embarrassed even asking. But I have 2 tix to game six section 217 BS6. Cheapest seat to get into the stadium listed on stub hub right now is $9.2k, seats in that row are listed for $14k. I’d sell for $8.5k cash each….again embarrassed to even offer at that price.
And hopefully there won’t be a game six and we will be popping champagne Wednesday (I’ll be there).
I stated the obvious before game 2 that it would tell us a lot more than game 1 because the Spurs knew that they would need to bring their A game to beat us and the Knicks would also need to play better than they did in Game 1.
Although things didn’t play out exactly like that, there were some elements that were telling. The Spurs came out with a vengeance and took an early lead, and after we took what seemed to be their best punch, even with Brunson and Hart having sub-par games, we built a 14 point lead mid-4th on the road against a desperate team. The Spurs mounted a comeback, but having that big of a cushion enabled the Knicks to scratch out a win, rather than going down a bunch of points if that lead were smaller.
So much credit has to go to the lineup with Alvarado, who missed all 4 of his shots but still managed a +11 in 10 minutes. That gave Brunson and Hart a reprive on a night where they easily could have been co-goats in a disheartening loss.
Agree with that, Z-Man. The fact that Brunson had a pretty lousy game and we STILL won is quite amazing!
(Agree with your previous post, you’re typing too quickly…)
lol sorry, procrastinating my way through a significant hangover!
8 wins in a row on the road. 2 in ATL. 2 in PHI. 2 in CLE. And now 2 in SA. That’s beyond comprehension.
hell no I ain’t hedging.
I did not actually bet a lot of money on it, though.
Jeremy Lin announced on instagram that he’s going to be joining the legends for games 3 & 4 at the garden
Hubert I bought Knicks 25-1 right at some time you made that comment…my wallet thanks you. I also bought Towns Finals MvP 50-1 and ECF at 7-1. Kalshi for the win.
My god, if Melo makes amends with Lin as part of this vibe shift…
Nice one, Gold Club! I actually forgot to bet on Towns after recommending it. Hope it works out for you 🙂
https://www.instagram.com/reel/DZO0vu4uO19/?igsh=NnQ2MHR4YnAwMWxk
Nice to see that Monica McNutt, like me, bangs her fist against her hand when things go well for the Knicks.
I’m still watching highlights of last two games… OG’s had two truly remarkable plays: the three pointer over Wemby in game 1 and the dunk in his face in game 2. Not a lot of NBA players do either of those things to Wemby. OG did both!
Everytime I think I’ve seen all the amazing KAT moments I find another one.
https://x.com/saiiormoonn/status/2063321889506816033
KAT seemingly becoming a locker room leader is pretty awesome to see.
Jalen has been hoarse since game 1. Sounded slightly ill afterward, then sounded worse before game 2. It’s possible he’s been sick and that’s had an impact. If he sounds good in interviews before game 3 and then has a great game, might be some confirmation that he hasn’t been at his best physically.
Is Trump going to wear a Knicks jersey?
I’m awaiting the officiating report: https://official.nba.com/2025-26-nba-officiating-last-two-minute-reports/
Knicks fans jumping, hugging and celebrating on the background behind them is just… PRICELESS! 🧡💙
I just listened to the KFS postgame with Macri and DJ. I believe it was DJ who came up with a decent analog to KAT in terms of overcoming a narrative about essentially not being a guy who could be a 1 or 1A on a championship team: Dirk Nowitzki. Winning that championship in 2011 when they went in as underdogs against the favored Heatles made his career. Obviously different players with somewhat different career arcs, but it’s pretty similar.
Of course KAT has to finish the job for it to be REALLY similar, but we’re getting there!
According to the 2-minute report, there were no incorrect calls in the last 2 minutes of Game 2, and the only incorrect call in Game 1 was that Brunson should have gotten an and-1 vs. Vassell on that dagger.
Jim, there’s a typo in the title, Spurs scored 104 pts not 94. Unless… you are discounting some points because of the bad refereeing! 😉 😀
I had completely forgotten that Wemby called the Knicks offense un sophisticated before the Cup.
https://x.com/Fullcourtpass/status/2001009709403586590/video/1
I hope he is having nightmares of spinning in the blender in which he was put by Knicks in so many possessions.
The kick ball was a missed call for starters.
Most of the egregiously bad calls happened before the two minute mark. They’re infamous at this point.
The hair foul. The bogus Mitch technical. The phantom backcourt violation. The two phantom KAT fouls.
I noticed and thought same. It didn’t strike me as hoarse from barking encouragement but rather congestion.
I don’t think Dirk is the best possible comp, because I don’t think anybody was ever as dismissive of Dirk’s mental game as they’ve been of KAT’s until this spring. There were questions about whether you want a title with him as your best player, but the rhetoric was never as harsh as it’s been towards our guy.
That’s fair, Alan, although I do remember some pretty harsh things being said about him. He was branded by many as a soft European who didn’t care to play D. And even when they won, some here argued that it was actually Tyson Chandler who was the best player on that team. (RIP WS48 and WP48).
“The kick ball was a missed call for starters.”
The official explanation in the TMR was “Although Kornet (SAS) lifts his foot, he does not intentionally kick the loose ball.”
One can agree or disagree with the interpretation. I thought it was pretty marginal in real time, even with the replay, but I suppose one could infer intent by the way he sort of guided the ball with his foot away from OG’s hands.
It would be very annoying if the arena is empty at the start of the game on Monday because people are stuck in security lines.
We have very little to complain about right now, but does anyone have any theories as to why Jalen is struggling?
he did sound congested as others noticed, no idea if that’s allergies or what. gut feel is he seemed a bit slower than usual in both games, but especially game 2. not sure if that’s an illusion or a cold or residual gimp from one of the two injury scares in game 1 or fatigue from the spurs’ death-grip defense.
one thing that was very clear in game 2 was he did a lot more foul hunting than he’s done in weeks or maybe months. he took several shots that he either would never have taken or voluntarily made much harder trying draw a whistle that didn’t come. this could be downstream of not being 100% or downstream of being frustrated/stymied by the spurs’ physicality.
here’s a dreaded self-quote from the ancient days of peak SGA hating last series:
i hope we play the spurs just to see all the sga haters screaming bloody murder for what these guys do to jalen. in fact, you can expect the jalen whiplash move to come roaring back by game 3 out of frustration.
i can’t help but think this is part of it. their young guards (literally all of them) are very physical with jalen when he’s off ball or handling the ball 25+ feet out, but are actually pretty clever defenders when it comes to the obvious shooting motion fouls and falling for tricks. the refs have gotten a bit better not falling for foul hunting, but have seemed extremely capricious about policing general physicality in non-shooting situations. you can call this being shook or being frustrated or whatever, but it could be that he feels like he’s fighting fire with fire by going back to his previously higher level of foul-seeking in response to the spurs getting away with a ton in other situations. it’s not working so i expect he’ll ease off it a bit.
Christ. The NBA rescinded the tech against Mitch.
This was an interesting KAT comp in the ringer today:
It doesn’t address the whole sudden change thing, but I do like the comp.
Okay so can we have that point back then assholes
Jesus Christ, the Knicks are asking fans to arrive 2 hours early to MSG because of enhanced security measures
Thanks Trump for ruining me and my friends pregame plans. Go fuck yourself.you phony orange piece of crap
Sorry, I know we’re not supposed to bring politics to this site. but this really sucks.
I’m with you, D-mar. That fucking sucks.
(Of course it could also be a James Dolan ploy to get everyone in the building an hour early to sell more concessions…)
Large let-them-eat-cake energy from the nepo babies.
This is a really dumb move, even for Dolan.
Trying to figure out How the fuck our once inconsistent team became an unstoppable playoffs force and i d bet on 3 things.
1 Gym ratting to upgrade physicality which..
2 causes mental toughness
While also
3 Brown rotates not only according to matchups but also to sustain team’s Energy in the highest possible level
Giving your maximum effort and staying locked in while keeping your cool for 48min doesn’t come by accident imo
If Knicks lose Game 3 at least we’ll know who to blame for killing the vibes…
Why is anyone surprised when the President (especially one who has faded 3 assassination attempts) is in a public space there will be enhanced security measures?
A Greek betting company already gives you the opportunity to bet on the 26/27 Nba champion.
Knicks are the 4th favourite under Okc, SAS and Bos
Tbh i prefer being considered as an *underdog* and kicking their ass!
It’s Much more enjoyable!
Making the experience 10x worse for everybody else in the building because fuck anybody who isn’t him.
He’s consistent, you gotta give him that
If you attend the game you will have the privilege of basking in his Orange Aura. 🙂
The vibes are so great rn, I’m not even gonna touch those BPL comments.
Re: KAT’s IQ from the last thread, I agree with Hubert that he doesn’t have a low bball IQ per se. It’s more that he’s always been impatient—trying to hard and quickly to fit square pegs into round holes on the court.
But suddenly, he’s more patient with an offense than I’ve ever seen from him. He’s even patient to a fault occasionally (like on that one sequence culminating in a KAT drive that he passed out of too late in the shot clock).
My guess is that Brown landed on this offense where KAT can thrive but also proved to him how much time he really has to complete 2nd, 3rd, or even 4th passes in this half-court offense.
And once he got it, he went OFF.
I’ve gone to several hundred Knicks games since the 1960’s, including during the entire 1994 championship run. For most of those years, Trump was a “Celebrity New Yorker”. Yet I never once remember him being in the on Celebrity Row, or even in the building for a Knicks game.
I wonder if someone will get a “Fuck Donald Trump” chant a la Ice Cube going….maybe that’s just the excuse Dolan needs to employ facial recognition technology to strip season tickets from non-corporate types.
Dolan will be definitely a distraction but I’m reading that he was invited by Dolan and that Mitch is fired up to play in front of him so… Let’s see how it goes and then start cursing
After all he’s *possibly* a knicks fan too
And got the knicks colour too!
He is definitely a sports fan and will probably root for the Knicks (being from NY). In the spirit of Knickerblogger where anyone can discuss here and we don’t worry about their politics, I’m not complaining that he wants go to the game. Let him just be a sports fan for once.
“Trump will be definitely a distraction”
Not Dolan!
Dolan is a steady attraction!
Got no space for no cunt asshole fuckery. Gotta go two hours early tomorrow it’s because I gotta go two hours early tomorrow. There’s been a few times in my life when I’ve been in rooms with thousands of people and felt our hearts beating on the same rhythm, felt our chants reach through time and space to compel reality. It’s time. Got no space for not cunt asshole fuckery.
Trump isn’t going because he’s a Knicks fan or an NBA fan. He probably couldn’t name 10 NBA players.
He’s going because he’s an attention whore and wants the spotlight to be on him instead of the game. And he’s ruining the experience for people paying thousands of dollars for tickets.
If we get the Win i bet that noone’s experience would be ruined
That’s the Main Thing
Just ask yourself:
Preferring
Trump and Win?
Or
No Trump and Loss?
This has been so perfect that i’m always thinking something bad is going to happen, because we’re the NY Knicks… so if that thing is a couple of black sheep (Dolan/Trump) coming our way, that is a lot better than the alternatives (like one of our main players getting injured… knock on wood!).
If we lose a game with him in the building it’s not going to help his popularity
The Knicksiest possible outcome to this entire saga would be Donald Trump’s attendance causing a team and city vibe shift so massive that the Spurs win the next 4.
Pray that it doesn’t happen!
How about the game being tied and Castle steals the ball in the last 5 seconds going for the winning dunk but Trump gets in, stops him and asks for a selfie?
Would you consider him as positive then?
I have decided that the game really came down to Mitch going 2-2 for free throws to stop Hack-A-Mitch. Those two free throws won the game in my mind now.
I love how your mind works, Brian.
A lot of things won the game, Brian, it’s a team effort. But those FTs were huge, and Mitch deserves it. Hack-a-Mitch is a lame strategy, it’s nice to see him taking it away from them.
Wemby’s brain fart with the Knicks dumb intro music as the background. Genius.
https://x.com/nba_newyork/status/2063430809130795213?s=46
OMG, is that actually the intro music???? I missed it both games, read various people’s comments, but holy shit. That is so insulting and disrespectful and immature, especially for an NBA Finals game!!!
(Also makes me wonder what MSG might be planning… might have to watch right from the start…)
(Although I do have to add, that music is pretty funny…)
The move, 100%, has to be to play it normal. Fuck them. The Knicks don’t even care enough about them to TROLL them.
Again, enjoying watching your brain work, Brian…
San Antonio is pretty fucking remedial as far as provincial “urban” locales go. The city walk is fine. That clip is highlarious.
First game it was annoying but whatever. Second game, to repeat it, was just pathetic.
That clip made me laugh pretty hard.
