For reasons that should be obvious, I hope that the Knicks lead by 39 points in the 3Q:

New York Knicks: 86
San Antonio Spurs: 47

I was aiming at something way more mundane and literal, which is why presidents have always gone to sporting events but there’s never been anything like the shitshow on the ground at the US Open tennis tournament from the clip Marechal posted, or like the massive imposition on everyone at the Garden tomorrow, until now.

We used to seamlessly — or essentially seamlessly — commandeer presidents into sporting events with appropriate Secret Service protection and it now appears that we can’t do that anymore. Nothing more than that.

Yeah, people are bitching and whining about this including for political reasons, but people bitch and whine about everything now, and that wasn’t really what I was getting at — though that’s certainly an interesting topic in its own right.

I agree with E that in the past, presidents could show up to sporting events without a giant hullabaloo ensuing, and I think that that was a good thing writ large. I disagree with E that we can no longer do that because of polarization or whatever (if that’s his reasoning). Biden–shit, even Bush–could’ve attended an NBA finals game without causing any issue. The reason a president attending a sports game can no longer be a non-event, rather, is because our sitting one and his party has politicized every aspect of everyday life, sports included. The Democratic contribution to this sad state of affairs pales in comparison.

In any case, I welcome the basketball being played so I can studiously ignore whoever is in attendance, no matter their standing.

The New York Knicks are the third team in NBA Finals history to win the first two games of a series on the road, following the 1993 Bulls and 1995 Rockets.

How about that? 🧡💙

1993 Bulls then gave the Barkley’s Suns a little hope by losing game 3, then won game 4, and then lost again in game 5, all in Chicago. Bulls won game 6 in Phoenix, by 1 pt, i think, and completed the three-peat.

1995 Rockets went on to win the 2 games in Houston and completed the sweep of the Shaq’s Magic.

How will it go with us? That’s what we’re about to find out.

Funny — ptmilo’s similarity says KAT’s most similar is Julius Randle!

LOL

I can agree to the comparison, but only if we’re talking about KAT pre-game 4 against the Hawks. Since then he’s playing like a top10 player and Julius never got to that level of play.

Looks like there’s not gonna be a stock market crash tomorrow, so that angle won’t work ….

That’s the default visiting team music the Spurs always play. Cute and all, not anything worth paying attention to.

Also, I read the article about the canceled watch party. It says the party will be moved to another location, not totalky cancelled.
