My college friend tried to get into the Nets for a while, but I keep telling her to become a Knicks fan instead, and this was our exchange during the game.

My wife was on the phone at the start of the game with a good friend of hers who lives in San Antonio.

Her husband is one of those fancy waiters who make bizarrely good money, and he said it was cool seeing the celebrities, as they all ate at his restaurant, but that there were also non famous rich New Yorkers in town for the game who were assholes, and one dude actually spit on him! And he told his wife that he was almost hoping the Spurs would get swept so that he wouldn’t have to see the asshole New Yorkers again for Game 5.

She was giving me some very good natured grief about the big lead (she got off the phone with my wife to go get dinner at halftime), and I told her, “This is just how these games go. The Knicks will come back in the second half.”

Also, don’t know about you guys, but it is such a weird feeling to be the guy who roots for the team that everyone is now hopping on the band wagon for.

I legit love bandwagon fans.

We got some back when Melo got here, and then we had a burst of new fans during Linsanity, and then more fans in 2012-13. Due to being on ESPN’s blog network.

Since that is no longer a thing, we didn’t get an influx of new fans when the Knicks got good recently, but yeah, we are obviously getting more now.

I’m all for it. If they are truly just bandwagon fans, they’ll disappear. And if not, it’s always fun to have new people to talk Knicks with.

Also, as we have all seen, this shit sometimes falls apart QUICKLY. You just have to love the moment when you have it, and if a bunch of new fans want in on that experience, the more the merrier!

I had two different friends messaging me in the game about how they’re Knicks fans now, and I told them both “One of us! One of us!”

But I think the moment for me when I really believed we could do it was when KAT made that three right before the shot clock expired as he fell into the bench.

That was the moment that there was just no doubt, for sure.

My only real worry about game 5 and (hopefully not) beyond is that it’s way too easy to put a thumb on the scale and call quick nonsense fouls on KAT, thus destroying the game entirely.

If KAT gets to play normal minutes and isn’t on the bench after 62 seconds, we can handle these guys.

The other two young ladies were the second and third most talented Haim sisters, Alana and Este.

Just found out that not only did Taylor Swift have a Stevie Knicks teeshirt, but the two young ladies she came with had Knickelback and Knickole Kidman teeshirts, respectively…

Almost simultaneously we looked at each other and said “One more”

Has a transient state ever felt so poignant.

KAT with some sly gamesmanship on that last play

didn’t notice at the time there were some fans screaming in harper’s ear, standing right next to him…

that has to be a bit disorienting…good job fans…
