"I want this for so many individuals involved with this franchise... They're so close!"
@AndrewJClaudio_ goes through several individuals who will have their narratives rewritten if they win 2 more games.
Ive often drawn parallels to hoops and life. I think that’s why I find myself very emotional during this run. Obviously I want the Knicks to win it all. We all desperately do. As we swept the 76ers on Mother’s Day I was with my entire family. I looked over and saw my 5 year old nephew asking my dad questions like I used to do. The full circle moments. I just can’t help but think of my own adversity to get to this point. My parents saved my life on a few different occasions, but basketball was also always there as well. For a lot of Knick fans this week is much deeper than an orange ball . It’s about an outlet that has brought us joy, friendships, and opportunity. Madison square garden isn’t just a building. It’s the world’s most famous one. I know my emotions will be everywhere this week. But I wouldn’t want it any other way. And anyone who deeply loves this game, understands why.
If you’re a Knicks fan keep an ear out for “locked in” to be played at the Garden or a watch party. When it played at Citi Field I almost lost my mind and I’m not even a Mets fan 🙏

I ABSOLUTELY DESPISE BLAMING THE REFS
LAST NIGHT WAS AN EXCEPTION
THAT WAS ATTEMPTED ROBBERY IN THE FIRST DEGREE
NBA SHOULD SERIOUSLY INVESTIGATE THAT SHT
Mitchell Robinson's (NYK) technical foul against Victor Wembanyama (SAS) at 4:56 of the 2nd quarter in Game 2 of the NBA Finals on 6/5/26 has been rescinded upon league review.
Shoutout to Mike Brown for having the challenge available late
Shoutout to OG for making all 3 monster free throws.
Without the ability to overturn the obvious foul, the Knicks don’t win that game .
Yesterday was so dope I really love/ appreciate this community. A lot of special people are die hard Knick fans. Obviously the Bockers still have to finish the job but this is something we will all cherish for the rest of our lives. 13 straight freaking wins. Immortality awaits
