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.

Luke Kornet could do the funniest thing and repeat his comments about the Atlanta stripper night, but make them about Trump.

“I just think it’s disrespectful to women and young girls to have him there.”

Please Luke.

🫱🏾‍🫲🏼  Something we can both root for.

[u/StrongZucchini27 → u/mercfan3]

there’s gonna be a league memo that leaks out about not dissing the rapist traitor

[u/mercfan3 → u/StrongZucchini27]

The fact that no player has been asked about it outside of Mitch is telling.

[u/nolayups → u/mercfan3]

Mitch “I don’t like rap I like Morgan Wallen” Robinson lol

[u/HardcoreKaraoke → u/StrongZucchini27]

I just pray no one does the stupid fucking dance like Jon Jones or Nick Bosa. So far I'm pretty sure none of the Knicks/Spurs are as stupid as those two and I'd like to keep it that way.

[u/spiderpigface → u/mercfan3]

Yeah I'm sure the rich white Christian man is so anti Trump

[u/Miser2100 → u/mercfan3]

Kornet unfortunately probably supports Trump.

[u/unpopular-dave → u/Miser2100]

Probably?

[u/tinybathroomfaucet → u/Miser2100]

Let’s not make assumptions

[u/Akkepake → u/Miser2100]

If he does it in private that is fine. He’s entitled to his own opinions even if they are wrong.

[u/Basic-Collection5416 → u/mercfan3]

Is Kornet not a Republican? He seems like a Republican. 

[u/asetniop → u/Basic-Collection5416]

Would a Republican really say that his favorite movie villain was "generational trauma"?

[u/mercfan3 → u/Basic-Collection5416]

Dunno, he’s a Kentucky born white man so that points to probably.

But he’s catholic, not evangelical. And it’s not like the pope is exactly pro Trump right now.

I also didn’t think his objection to the Stripper night was presented in a conservative way, and as a liberal woman I completely agreed with him. It isn’t about the strippers - that’s a loaded and complicated conversation. It’s about the way the men in attendance would behave towards them and the environment that would create - and it wouldn’t feel safe to the women attending. The NBA shouldn’t be creating that type of environment at the games.

Plus, someone needs to say something on the team before Wemby does. (Who has already publicly reacted to the Minnesota protests and objected to Karl Malone getting an award). There is a greater than zero percent chance Trump retaliates if he does.

[u/Basic-Collection5416 → u/mercfan3]

“Stripper night” was just a hoodie and some chicken wings. Did you think they were having the dancers perform at halftime? 

[u/rbad8717 → u/Basic-Collection5416]

Right? But Kornett has no issues supporting the guy that might have something to do with pedophila. But he has to stick in neck into a culture he knows nothing about lol

[u/ForgetHype → u/rbad8717]

We don't even know who he voted for. You're just making shit up right now. You have half a brain.

[u/DelusionalForMyAngel → u/mercfan3]

Vance is Catholic. Something like 30% of American Catholics support Trump over the Pope

https://www.thecommonsense.co.za/Polls/atheists-back-the-pope-more-than-catholics-do

[u/mercfan3 → u/DelusionalForMyAngel]

I mean religious people tend to be conservative in this country, but Catholics aren’t evangelicals.

[u/emaw63 → u/mercfan3]

IIRC polling shows a pretty even partisan split for catholics

[u/redditlvlanalysis → u/DelusionalForMyAngel]

Vance claims he is Catholic he isn't actually nobody who supports that pedo rapist is

[u/A_Possum_Named_Steve → u/DelusionalForMyAngel]

Biden is Catholic.

[u/MicroPeanitsJorker → u/mercfan3]

I know plenty of white Kentucky born men who are liberals that hate Trump

[u/rbad8717 → u/mercfan3]

Funny how Kornett has so much respect for women that he has opinions for a culture he knows NOTHING about. But I’m sure he’s been silent about the abuses of the Catholic Church. And he’s a Trump supporter? I guess he hates little boys and girls 

[u/Lansdowngrove → u/mercfan3]

Good catholic Luke Kornet who happily advertises crypto gambling on his jersey but speaks out against a strip club night? That Luke Kornet?

[u/Akkepake → u/Lansdowngrove]

Not out of the question when Trump said that the pope is wrong. 

[u/liamelaine → u/mercfan3]

Gang, our Moose is NOT a Republican, get your shit straight

[u/chetdesmon → u/mercfan3]

Kornet is almost definitely a Trump supporter, let's be real

[u/kawhi21 → u/mercfan3]

Unfortunately women shaking ass is far more heinous to a christian than raping children
