    Much of this Sam Amick piece about KAT/Giannis is just speculation, but this passage where Brown talks about the evolution of his relationship with KAT is very good:

    To hear Brown discuss Towns after Game 2 was to realize how far their relationship has come. The creative tension between them was no secret earlier this season, but Brown offered a blow-by-blow account of a process that has clearly put the Knicks in a much healthier, and more dangerous, place. Brown has a tendency to be a little long-winded, but this is worth the “listen” for anyone who is curious how they’re managing to pull this craziness off.

    “I came in with a great plan,” Brown said when asked about Towns’ evolution. “Maybe the plan doesn’t work. Who adjusts: Him or me? Me. I adjust. (But) the adjustment’s not enough. Every once in a while, we’re not on the same page. We talk about it. We talk about it. I adjust again. A little bit better. He’s feeling good. We talk about it. We talk — maybe we take a couple of steps backwards because what I did, he doesn’t like, which is fine.

    “It’s my job as a coach to fit whatever scheme we have on both sides of the floor to all of our players. And if you’re a great player, I’ve got to make a little bit more adjustments, or I’ve got to give a little bit more than you do. We finally got to a point where he was comfortable, (where) I was comfortable, Jalen (Brunson) was comfortable, OG (Anunoby) was comfortable, Mikal (Bridges) was comfortable. And to me, that’s what the regular season is about. The regular season is about finding your way so you can prepare for this time of the year … So, when we get here, anything we run into, we’ve already conquered during the regular season, and we’ll know how to handle it.”

    The move, 100%, has to be to play it normal. Fuck them. The Knicks don’t even care enough about them to TROLL them.

    Yes. Go full Don Draper in the elevator with Michael Ginsberg: “I don’t think about you at all.”

    Dolan’s absolutely loving the chaos the Trump visit is causing. The facial recognition software will be even more efficient and effective with the fans’ procession through the security gates slowed down dramatically, and his creepy database of faces will be significantly enhanced. Don’t be shocked if some of these “special” security procedures become permanent.

    It’s not political to complain about this because it’s the office of the president and the Secret Service doing this — and of course the Knicks’ owner. I was thinking of actually going tomorrow, but now no way. Imagine paying those kind of prices and then wind up having to wait in an airport security line and sit around for two-plus hours. Yeah, right.

    The enshittification of everything continues apace.

    I kinda like the cartoon intro. I’ve even been whistling it in my spare time. Kinda surprised some dj hasn’t remixed into a new Knicks anthem yet.

    have to figure he’ll be sitting in a suite?
    I can’t imagine the security risk of him sitting courtside

    even trumpers have to think this is just the most selfish thing someone could possibly do — the best basketball story in decades and he has to go stick himself in the middle of it.

    the idea of the area around MSG being quiet and cordoned off is just horrible.

    the idea of the area around MSG being quiet and cordoned off is just horrible.

    There’s a part of Dolan, maybe even a big part, that detests the crowds of regular, younger people gathering near “his building” to celebrate “his team” and we can rest assured he’s quite happy indeed with “his building” being cordoned off from the teeming masses.

    There was no chance, zero, that this awesome sporting moment was going to pass normally, unaccompanied by something or other Dolan.

    Word is that Trump’s going to Game 4, too. Shocking.

    If he gets the reception from the crowd I expect him to get, I cannot imagine him going back for Game 4. He is driven by spite, but he is also an insecure narcissist who can’t stand being around people who he thinks are being mean to him.

    I think 10k for the worst seats in the house is obscene, let alone 100k for the better ones. Culturally this is fucked up, and having an asshole bigger even than our local one here dominate the event makes it even fuckeduper.

    It’s good to have this extra day off before game 3 to vent this. Hopefully tomorrow we’d be able to concentrate on the game. I sure hope the players do.
