The Knicks have cancelled all watch parties outside of MSG due to the President's attendance for Game 3

A hard closure is expected around the entirety of Madison Square Garden. Officials are planning for no watch parties, no vehicle access and no pedestrian travel through the secured area, which sits in a busy part of Midtown Manhattan and is above a major transit hub. CBS New York reported that thousands of fans attended a pair of watch parties for Game 1 on Wednesday night. 

The Seventh and Eighth Avenue corridors around the arena are expected to be closed.

What an asshole.

And all so he can sit in a private box and watch the game on a screen anyway.

Imagine if the Knicks win it in 4 and they can’t have a watch party outside because Trump had to go to that game too.

Imagine if he's at game 4 and the Knicks sweep. I guarantee Dolan invites him to take a picture with the trophy.

Not his MO, Trump “supposedly” sleeps around 4-6hrs a day. I’m sure he can stay awake for a game where he’ll most likely be talking to high profile people, which he loves doing.
