At the airport… talked to Jason Mraz for a minute.. I’ve met Chuck Schumer, Pele, Derrick Coleman, Punky Brewster, Anthony Edward’s from ER all in front of me thru security … it’s funny

Jason was very nice 

There are some Spurs rallies tomorrow.. gonna meet Bruce Bowen at a card show if I go… looking forward to some relaxing times until the game starts and my blood pressure spikes 😛

TSA precheck for 1st time… so worth it.. 5 min opposed to prob 45 min…. Shhhh, don’t tell too many
people 🤠

TSA pre check worth every penny 

Def… day started good too. I usually bum a ride from a friend or take the LIRR TO Jamaica then AirTran 

being I’m a bit fucked  up  with my foot and it’s hot as hell outside… decided to Uber from Northport.. $115 plus tip.. driver told me to cancel, cause he’d rather do cash $70… he’s not licensed to pick anyone up at jfk.. some bs… works for me 

tickets are dropping too… hopefully I can stay within $1500… still not cheap but compared to msg.. and it’s Saturday… doubt any lower bowl appears under $3000.. I don’t mind to be upstairs as long as I’m at mid court

I rarely watch the NBA, but at the beginning of this series was intrigued to watch due to the Wembayana and Knicks spectacle (man Wemby is a wonder).

Great games and series so far.  Really hoping the Spurs can extend it.


Some things that were striking:

They have ruined the sport with all the reviews.  It seems like they stop the game and review everything.  It is awful.  Game 4 of the NBA Finals is one thing, but if this was being done in Game 23 in early December, Im going to sleep or changing the channel.  They also have the same problem that NHL reviews have for the most part and nobody even knows the criteria for what they are reviewing with fouls.  
For out of bounds calls, they really need to streamline it and have a war-room call it in within seconds.  

Also, I do not like how fans (in this case ultra wealthy and celebs) are on the court during the game.  The whole 4th quarter (and I noticed it last game too), they are way out to the front edge of the OB line.  At one point, Taylor Swift and her little band were circle/jumping around, it had to be in the field of play, while San Antonio had the ball on that same side.  At another point on the end, a San Antonio player may have stepped out and a fan ran up to him, taunted him, and pointed down close to his foot to show the ref that he had stepped out.  This all seems very dangerous, distracting, and a slippery slope.  I know before you had clowns like Spike Lee and Drake having a rapport with players, but everyone seems to want to be on camera and a part of the action.  

The crowd needs to be moved back past a buffer of the OB line, and if certain threshold is violated the crowd gets a warning and the second time the home team gets a Technical Foul or something.

My guess is if that is common people they are thrown out? or the very least security warns them to stay back?

They don't know about Greek League

I hate when home teams have to do this.

That’s for TM sales… I also think it’s cheesy… im
playing the wait til last minute ticket buy game… trying to get into a low row up top baseline or lower bowl with decent site line 

I’d like to max out on value , don’t mind sitting up top… lotta Knicks fans on the planes dropped over $10k lower bowl… no thanks, I’m trying to stay under $2k unless something amazing comes under $3k

Almost as weak as your star player begging fans not to sell their tickets to NYers. 

I did hear it’s said that the entire playoff run though. Not sure.

For San Antonio?
They cancelled sales after they went through based on zip code? (All playoffs?)
If so that is fucked.

Can’t confirm but I did read it on the  internet. So it’s definitely 100% true haha

I guess it works of you donahead of time but just canceling after sold is bullshit.
Trust in your fanbase or end up being the Rams and half the stadium is opposing fans because your fans sell the seats, lol

kinda bummed San Antonio didn't win but like I said I don't mind that the "Nova Knicks" finally won a championship after 50+ years. Congrats!

Fox deserves a ring… Size small just like he played. 72% of the series they lead, all 5 games double digit leads, playoffs and reg season combined for over 20 double digit meltdown loses 

wow those are crazy ass stats… and yet they were one or two plays away from 2-2 and who knows what happens after… Mitch fucked uo yet again by not fouling Mitchell .Robinson with 26 sec left.. and then fouling when he passed it out… you could’ve played it straight up down 3 and had 9-10 sec left… they still would’ve missed shooting 36% for the game… but these are glaring ass stats that you can not hide, bury rtc

up 25 in game 4… gives Wemby a 58 second blow… are u insane, especially after all the fatigue?? Brunson minutes managed well to produce in the 4th

he ain't getting fired but he better learn damn quick.. his leash is short… Spurs bench was crap too… Keldon looks like he gained weight in the playoffs, slow and missing shots.. Kornet didn’t do shit… bad D, let rebounds off his finger tips.. Dylan was it for them 

they need another Big with rebounding skills… and another vet shooter on the bench… get rid of Fox, Carter Bryant needs to get more minutes.. he can be a great 6th man potential starter in year 3 and beyond 

Wemby needs to add ten pounds and condition better…. Castle had a bad offensive game… but I’m not worried about him, he’s been pretty great and you can tell he loves basketball as does Harper.. some dudes you wonder 

the West will be difficult as usual… no guarantees … ya blew it … but thanks for the excitement.. it’s a shame that the stage n bright lights will overshadow a great year… that’s your challenge for next year… won’t be the same path, need to work harder

OKC and Spurs are still going to be the top 2 in Championship odds

There are big chips to fall in the offseason… a few blockbusters will happen, Giannis can tip the scales for a team 

LeBron can Join a contender…  Lakers have cap space and Luka coming back… though he is defensive liability, Jalen is too.. he’s been to a finals 

theres always a team
or two that surprises the experts
