Guy who famously got suspended for a finals game, leading to his team blowing a 3-1 lead: “it’s a bad look for the Knicks that no one got themselves ejected from the game.”

[Kevin O'Connor @KevinOConnor]

Draymond Green said if Wemby did to Steph what he did to Brunson in Game 3…he would’ve been thrown out.

“He pushed him down and none of the guys on the Knicks team did anything. Don’t not for one second think that didn’t matter.”

[Shane Vassar @Vassar03]

By the way, the officiating wasn’t the reason we lost game 3. But when the narrative after the game is “Wemby’s doing what he’s supposed to be doing,” and the Knicks clearly aren’t allowed to play with the same physicality, it’s obvious why fans are frustrated.

[Shane Vassar @Vassar03]

Game 2, Wemby full extension pushes Mitch and he responds with a light shove. Only thing called is a T on Mitch.

So, knicks aren’t allowed to respond to the physicality in the moment, nor are they allowed to think the league will make the right call with clear evidence. Got it.

in other news, how do you not feel like a sucka ass narc asking for a retroactive flagrant on a play where no one got hurt or kicked in the nuts?

[Shane Vassar @Vassar03]

Ah, yes the ole double forearm headlock twist. Completely normal basketball play, think Mikan invented it in the ‘50s.

[Kyle Ingram @SnapshotKyle]

Wemby didn’t like Jose Alvarado boxing him out 😂

[Shane Vassar @Vassar03]

All this happened and then the Knicks won game 2 and Zohran walked into the bar I was at while it was happening.

Knicks are up 1-0 in the NBA finals, currently on my way to Phoebe Bridgers at MSG, and secured Lincoln square 70mm IMAX tickets for The Odyssey this afternoon.

Sometimes, in the briefest moments, life is good.

[Shane Vassar @Vassar03]

I want this championship for this city so fucking badly

[Shane Vassar @Vassar03]

So many young people are sick of social media slop and lazy streaming content that cynically exists only to appeal to an algorithm. Combined with the fact that people are fed up with tech oligarchs telling us communal experiences are dead, that’s the reason movies are back, baby

[Sean Fennessey @SeanFennessey]

OBSESSION going over $5 million on a Wednesday in its third week of release is nuts.

[Shane Vassar @Vassar03]

Phoebe was incredible at msg tonight but my primary takeaway from the concert was if you ever have a chance to go to a no phones show, you should definitely wear a watch. You’ll feel like the coolest kid in school

[Museum of the Moving Image @MovingImageNYC]

Cinema.
