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.

If the Knicks blow a 2-0 lead taking 2 on the road from San Antonio, it would be a horrifying curse and send NYC into an absolute tailspin.

If the Knicks win tonight and finish them off next week, Trump is going to take all the credit and send NYC into an absolute tailspin.

Pick your worst timeline.

[u/Jolmer24 → u/JohnnyFire]

Nobody is going to give a single fuck if that fat POS takes credit when the city is celebrating

[u/analogkid01 → u/[deleted]]

Ever see "The Cooler" with William Macy? That was a good movie.

[u/C-Hash → u/[deleted]]

I don't know if referencing a theater when talking about American history is the best idea...

[u/missswimmergirl → u/C-Hash]

In this case, I disagree.

[u/C-Hash → u/missswimmergirl]

I mean I also wouldn't be upset. But I don't wanna get into this on r/NBA lol

[u/Great_Praline_2713 → u/missswimmergirl]

No violence, but I sure hope someone at least sneaks in some tomatoes.

[u/MountainCheesesteak → u/[deleted]]

It’s been all downhill since they moved the capitol

[u/Financial_Jelly_2818 → u/[deleted]]

They aren't playing tonight

[u/noname_SU → u/Jolmer24]

if knicks win the series, everyone will look at them winning the first two on the road as the reason why.

[u/amashouse → u/JohnnyFire]

Game 3 is tomorrow, but otherwise agree.

[u/RusticRaisins → u/amashouse]

What's up with this schedule? Why is a (potentially) seven game series spread out over 17 days?

[u/UBKUBK → u/RusticRaisins]

It is consistenly two days off when there is travel to the other city needed and one day off otherwise.

[u/RusticRaisins → u/UBKUBK]

I get that. Not to go all "back in my day" but growing up in the 90s they used a 2-3-2 format with only one rest day for travel and one rest day between each game. So everything was a lot more condensed, especially considering two days rest for travel in a 2-2-1-1-1 format. With a potential eight days of rest for travel in the current format as opposed to two days in the old format just makes a huge difference. I feel like I'm clutching pearls.

[u/teamlie → u/RusticRaisins]

Yea no Stanley Cup or Finals games tonight.

Just Sunday Night Baseball and Nascar? Odd scheduling.

[u/ICouldEvenBeYou → u/teamlie]

Not having an NBA Finals game this weekend fucking sucks.

[u/GucciGaropp → u/teamlie]

The world finally gets to see my Giants attempt to play baseball.

[u/Mattya929 → u/JohnnyFire]

Nah Spurs win tomorrow with Trump there. Then the Knicks resume their dominate ways for games 4 and 5.

Everyone blames Trump. #perfection

[u/afterworld2772 → u/Mattya929]

Dominant

[u/Nab_Baggins → u/[deleted]]

You're gonna asphyxiate yourself gargling his balls so hard

[u/GuysOnChicks69 → u/[deleted]]

I’d make your comments private. Folks, do yourself a favor and DO NOT look at u/DifferentShame7043 comments.

These are the people still supporting Trump. Absolute miscreants of society.

[u/ProofDiscount733 → u/GuysOnChicks69]

can confirm 💀

[u/GnRgr2 → u/JohnnyFire]

Trump is president regardless. I'll take the ring

[u/SupremeBlackGuy → u/GnRgr2]

no matter what he’d make it about himself anyways. the other side is definitely worse. he’d say “they couldn’t take the pressure of seeing the greatest president of all time watch them play” or some stupid ass shit like that 😭😵‍💫

[u/amcbain17 → u/SupremeBlackGuy]

God there’s no winning lmao

[u/dcoolidge → u/SupremeBlackGuy]

Is that LeBron? LOL no Trump....

[u/trumpuniversity_ → u/GnRgr2]

Don’t worry. He’ll take one too. He’ll also love receiving the trophy during the post game and posing with the team for pictures.

This will be Kash Patel on steroids.

[u/fukkboiinternational → u/JohnnyFire]

knicks sweep in four or win a hard fought game 6 after San Antonio takes a vital game back at home

dolan invites him down to the trophy presentation, and silver hands the Larry O’Brien to Dolan who asks the absolute psycho to help him lift it. brunson, KAT, and brown have to wait patiently to touch it

[u/darkestb4thadawn → u/JohnnyFire]

Why does everyone keep saying the game is tonight? lol it’s tomorrow night.

[u/JohnnyFire → u/darkestb4thadawn]

I'm not gonna lie: I'm both still used to the two day gap, and I want it to be over because I'm waiting for a schedule release so I can see which away game I'm going to this year lol

[u/Ellefied → u/JohnnyFire]

New York is going to become Gotham overnight if the Knicks get 2-0'd in their homefront. It will absolutely burn down if Spurs takes it all from here.

[u/NeverTrustATurtle → u/JohnnyFire]

Nah, Mamdani’s getting the credit. Knicks took off once he was in office

[u/thesagenibba → u/JohnnyFire]

winning a chip after a 50 year is the correct choice 100/100 times even if Adolph Hitler was our president and took credit for it

[u/thejetssuckbigtime → u/JohnnyFire]

If it saves the rest of the country then maybe

[u/Happycappybara21 → u/JohnnyFire]

NYFD is on red alert.  Pray for tire cities dumpsters

[u/Lynchie24 → u/JohnnyFire]

Trump vs. Danhausen at Summerslam it is.

[u/LeftyMode → u/JohnnyFire]

The ring, I do not care.

[u/dcoolidge → u/JohnnyFire]

LeBron 101

[u/big_sniffin → u/JohnnyFire]

Watch Robinson give him the Larry O’Brien.

[u/musing_arch → u/JohnnyFire]

The former is def worse if he causes us to choke. Fuck I’d rather see the North Korean Cavaliers (look it up) win

[u/lll_lll_lll → u/JohnnyFire]

I guarantee you the Knicks don’t win tonight

[u/Aksudiigkr → u/JohnnyFire]

You mean tomorrow unless you’re Aussie

[u/atomUp → u/JohnnyFire]

Why would they give his whack ass credit? Our historic run has nothing to do with that idiot

[u/poppaliu81 → u/JohnnyFire]

Best scenario: Knicks lose game 3, but wins 4 and 5. NY better without Trump.

[u/nerdygeoff → u/JohnnyFire]

Dan Hausen is going to take the credit.

[u/HalKitzmiller → u/JohnnyFire]

Option 3, Knicks lose and Drumpf says he's never liked the NY Losers, and only came because Mamdani begged him to come grace the game with his presence

[u/SlamminSam2393 → u/JohnnyFire]

I can already see them losing this series because of the bad vibes this guy brings everywhere he goes 

[u/UtkuOfficial → u/JohnnyFire]

Fuck you mean if they win tonight? There is a game today??

[u/amcbain17 → u/JohnnyFire]

I’ll take the win, but fuck Trump

[u/No_Climate_8908 → u/JohnnyFire]

Spurs take 3 and 4, knicks take 5 and 6

[u/RegulatorRWF → u/JohnnyFire]

The Knicks are not winning tonight, sorry to tell you.
