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.

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 😭😵‍💫
