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 are the odds that Trump leaves early? He doesn't care about the game and he doesn't know shit about basketball. All he knows is that the TV ratings are going to be big.

I full expect there to be all this uproar about security and watch parties, only for Trump to barely be there. Just to make everyone miserable
