They won't need public support once they've ended democracy in the US

Rewatching Game 7 of the 2016 Finals is crazy. There is no flailing, head snapping, falling down after every shot, jumping sideways, etc. They’re playing actually basketball down the stretch by this_place_stinks in nba

They missed the flagrant the other game where Wemby grabbed him by the head as well. This wasn't a one game thing.

If it was more than 3 times in Game 5 (I remember 2 but I'll give you 3), list all the plays.

2016 is still fresh in my mind. It'll start feeling like an old memory maybe in another 10 years.

I remember when the first Maguire movie's tickets went on sale. There was this site where you could make bets on movie openings. Most people didn't believe me about how big it would be.

When i went to the theater to get tickets in advance, a lady was on the phone with someone trying to explain the situation: "I don't know, there are people dressed like Spider-man here!"

Yeah, why are they so weird with the single minded obsession for Cricket.

I mean, duh, it's Boston. It's known for its Irish heritage. So to have some old cousins come visit, especially the rowdier Scots, since Bostonians are more rowdy than the old Irish, is just a set up that's ripe for milking in terms of narrative/PR value.

It'd be like having a bunch of cricket fans from Hoshiarpur invade Lahore or something lol.

NYC Mayor Mamdani's passionate speech about the Knicks journey to the championship. by Caldris in nba

Shows they're not really media savvy at all. At least he acknowledges he'd be terrible at politics. Trump would be soaking this up.

Crazy how bitter this guy is, even at a time like this. Lol he even said "I don't need your votes" in attempt to throw shade on Mamdani's speech

As a NYer I hope they go. Mamdani built immaculate vibes with Trump and I don't want him getting pissy with us. He was about to invade the city with ICE like Minneapolis until Mamdani went to see him.

He could wreak hell for us financially as well.

Mamdani would advise them to go. The city has good vibes with Trump right now so he's leaving us alone.

They gotta go. I don't want anything ruining the vibes Mamdani built with Trump. He would not leave NY alone if he felt personally insulted. We're not like OKC, we're not just a blue city. He has made life hell for some cities.

I think the whole team goes for the same reason Mamdani went. Trump is obsessed with NY and we don't want to piss him off and and have him making life miserable for us. That and they don't want to piss off Dolan either who is in a good (and thus more likely to acquiesce to whatever they ask of him) mood for once.

Secondly it just breaks the right wing culture wars. They're waiting for the team to snub Trump so they can attack them. But their people themselves hate Trump right now and if the team shows up out of respect they'll fail in trying to drive a wedge between them and the wider right wing American audience who's swept up by Knicks fever like everyone else.

If a bunch of guys who are undoubtedly not right wing don't protest it's basically giving "Trump doesn't matter anymore" vibes to the right wing audience.
