Julian on Knick fans going after Spurs fans in the city:
"I don't think that it should ever be that serious where you have to jump people, beat people up, follow people home. It's just a basketball game at the end of the day whether we win or they win doesn't really matter. Everybody should be able to come and enjoy the game no matter who they're voting for"
Wemby gets illegally held away from the ball on damn near every possession and I don’t expect the refs to call it every time, but when it goes uncalled for entire games, I have zero issue with a “get the fuck off me” shove every now and then.
