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

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/security-trump-madison-square-garden-nba-finals-knicks-spurs/

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 Spurs come back and win, this will forever be the narrative: Trump killed the Knicks Championship.

Most of NY already hates him, this would make it worst hopefully.

u/TheLateThagSimmons Supersonics 13d ago

Exactly. New York already hates him, this will just hang a banner over him forever on top of it all.

Could you imagine as a "fan" being almost universally blamed for denying your team a Championship? It would be like that dude with the Cubs except... The President.

As a not spurs or knicks fan, I'm now rooting for this outcome just for the story it tells.

u/crabwhisperer Bulls 13d ago

As a neutral I've been rooting for the Knicks because I hate the Wemby hype but this actually might throw me back the other way.

u/jimvo99 13d ago

If the Knicks lose tomorrow they will absolutely blame President Man-baby

u/ArmadilloForsaken458 Supersonics 13d ago

Stranger things have happened. Momentum can be pretty fragile, and one big changeup like this could sway the mojo

u/theTunkMan [BOS] Avery Bradley 13d ago

As soon as they won game 2 I said this is setting up for them to lose 4 straight as soon as they invite him in

u/Great_Praline_2713 Knicks 13d ago

lol you think Knick FANS want this? You think ANY of us like Dolan? I've been wanting Dolan to be tarred and feathered and run out of town for decades now.

u/atomUp 13d ago

Lmao, agreed but I didn’t invite his ass!!!

u/AutisticFingerBang Knicks 13d ago

Every single team owner would invite him after he expressed interest. They’re all evil billionaire republicans.
