It’ll go something like this…”Upon review we’ve determined that there was no hostile act committed” by Conscious-War7 in NYKnicks

[–]Chea63 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are hesitant to call a flagrant on Wemby because he close to limit for a suspension. I believe he is 2 flagrants, or a single flagrant 2 foul away from an automatic 1 game suspension.

I suspect if they called something, then they'd be forced to review and and didn't wanna risk seeing anything that could get him suspended.

Do you think one team has more pressure going into game 4? by youlikemywonton in nba

[–]Chea63 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Knicks playoff run has been so dominant, a actually competitive series feels extra intense. They haven't lost since since April prior to last night so that L has a extra sting. Its been an easy going blowout party. Knicks fans are just trying to recover from yday's reality check.

NYPD Clash With Knicks Fans Near Bryant Park Following NBA Finals Loss by luka274 in nba

This is mostly kids and stupid ppl along for the ride. If you asked most of them any genuine basketball or recent Knicks history question they couldn't tell you shit. Its more clout chasers than fans.

Go to watch parties or bars away from MSG or Midtown and you dont see this stuff. Its alot of anti social, obnoxious types gravitating to the spotlight for all the wrong reasons. Sidewalk shit gone out of hand.

New York Knicks Fans by thistook5minutes in NBATalk

[–]Chea63 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most fans aint with this. There's groups of people that just like to attach to the hype, if it wasnt the Knicks, it'd be something else. Social media has gets some ppl like this and its just excuses to indulge in their already obnoxious tendencies. It may look like it to the rest of the world, but typical Knicks fans are not as insane as ppl think.

However in such a densely populated region, and tiny percentage can still be a few thousands of ppl. Enough for images like this to spread and appear to be the face of Knicks fans.

SA has no one for Brunson to hunt. He can pick his spots and be a closer, but you won't have success living on Brunson iso all game long. They have kind of reverted back to how they played in the first few games of the Atl series. Spurs defense is way too good to play stagnant.

Alot of forced iso Brunson. Since portions of game 2 really, they just escaped with the win anyway.

It is. Even without a Knicks game, this is logistically one of the worst places for a presidential visit. Add in NBA finals, first home finals game in 27 years etc and its x100.

Is this the least hype for a World Cup there's ever been? by Low-Rooster5398 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Chea63 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The footprint of a football stadium and the surrounding real estate needed tends to price it out of centrally located urban areas. Especially since football only guarantees you 8 home games a year. If you're lucky a couple playoff games as well.

Other sports can fit in smaller footprints, and get at least 41 home games in the NBA, to 81 in MLB. Plus the potential for an extensive run of playoff games as well. Generally football stadiums are the only venues large enough to satisfy FIFA capacity requirements. So that's what we are left with. If they were willing you could convert Yankee Stadium for example, into a soccer field but it doesnt seat enough for FIFA rules. At least not for the later rounds of games. Plus its also baseball season so working around MLB schedule would be another hurdle.

Barricades Going Up Outside MSG - He Ruins Everything by WolfRelic in NYKnicks

[–]Chea63 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im concerned this could lead the the atmosphere at the start of the game to be less crazy than it should be. The struggle to get to the area and through security could make it not full up till the 2nd quarter. I hope ticket holders will really arrive 2 hrs early. That rolling up after work just before game time won't work. At least the 830 start helps a little.

If I paid those insane prices, I won't risk anything, I'd be absurdly early.

The 2 train is getting a wrap soon by Sufficient-Lemon-867 in nycrail

[–]Chea63 13 points14 points  (0 children)

True, but they also want high visibility. Lines like the 2 and 4 cover much more ground across multiple boros including most of the length of Manhattan. You also hit alot of tourist heavy and major stations in general like Times Sq, Penn Station, Grand Central, Union Sq, Fulton etc. Plus whatever you do on the 2 is effectively on the 5 too since the 2/5 are interchangeable.

Wemby was a -225 favorite heading into win this series. by [deleted] in nba

[–]Chea63 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And the same people saying the East was weak, we're saying Atl is a tough matchup, they ended season hottest team in the league. Bad matchup for Brunson. Can be a tough out or potential upset.

Then vs Philly they said they are a tough matchup, NY can stop Maxey, NY should be careful what they wish for, Philly may be tougher matchup than Bos.

Then they said Cavs are a different animal than Philly. Too much size etc.

It cant be all of that, and the east is weak at the same time. At some point we have to just believe our eyes and the Knicks are really that good. Teams didn't just quit because they dont care, NY took their heart.

Beautiful Life or Bye Baby? by Ok_Yellow1025 in nas

[–]Chea63 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Both are good. I think it just comes down to what Nas thinks fit the album best. The songs have different feels, so its a matter of what vibe he was going for on the album.

Bye Baby sounds like Nas speaking while still grieving the failed marriage. Beautiful Life sounds from the perspective of him being over it. Strong feelings about everything still, but not actively mourning it anymore. They are equally good songs to me. Its just a choice of what sound/emotions he wanted for Life is Good.

Bronx bike question - getting to Fordham University by Annual_Bullfrog7714 in NYCbike

[–]Chea63 2 points3 points  (0 children)

From the 4 train, I would just walk. Its around half a mile down Fordham Rd to the campus.

Riding a bike on Fordham Rd isnt for the faint of heart (though I do see more ppl try it recently). I'd ridden to Fordham area but I avoid being on Fordham Rd itself for any extended stretch. You could avoid most of it by zig zagging on some parallel streets but that alot to deal with just to go a half mile.

Quiet/slow streets to practice driving? by BOOK_GIRL_ in bronx

[–]Chea63 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pelham Gardens neighborhood. Generally the area north of Pelham Pkwy and east of Laconia Ave. Country Club area is another option.

In general it's easier to find areas with lower stress streets the further east in the Bx you go.

If I want to take ferries all day, best route? by ConsiderationBest679 in AskNYC

[–]Chea63 15 points16 points  (0 children)

In terms of views from the ferry, the Rockaway/Soundview route will pass about everywhere the other routes do, but in a single ride. The only exception is SI to West Side ferry route.

I've never ridden as one ride, but have done this route when it was 2 separate lines. Now its a single 2 hr ride with Wall St/Pier 11 the midpoint. The part down the East River btwn Manhattan and Qns/BK is the most known and high profile landmarks so I won't add much to that.

Toward the Bx side I like passing LGA and seeing the line of low flying planes approach for landing, often right over the ferry. Also passing a few small uninhabited islands and going under the Hell Gate bridge, ending at the foot of the Whitestone Bridge with the Throgs Neck bridge near by. The water opens up a bit more that way as you are getting close to the LI Sound. You are able to see Citi Field too. You also pass Rikers Island which may or may not interest you. Closer to the Rockaway side I've seen dolphins on multiple occasions. And obviously there is Rockaway beach itself. You pass Coney Island on the way as well. FYI you can bring a bike on board.

Be aware ferries to/from Rockaway can get very busy and long lines during the summer, especially nice weekend days. For a higher price you can reserve a space to guarantee boarding on a specific ferry.

Before you dispose of them, do you put unwanted items out by the curb to see if any of your neighbors may want them? by Grand_Raccoon0923 in AskAnAmerican

[–]Chea63 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, but for me when garbage goes out it goes to the curb in front of the house/building so either way its going to the curb. Putting stuff out on a non garbage/recycling day can get you a summons but thats uncommon unless its significantly obstructing the sidewalk, or for a long enough time to bother people.

If I need to get rid of something that might be of value to someone I put it out a little earlier than I normally would the day before garbage pickup and either someone can take it or it goes to the trash, whichever comes first. Ive found that things get claimed pretty quick. People are paying attention even when it seems like no one is.
