The NYPD ban on Knicks watch parties directly outside Madison Square Garden has been lifted for tonight, per SNY sources. The NYPD had previously banned watch parties in Plaza 33 during the ECF. But theyβve reversed the decision for Game 1 on Wednesday night. An MSG spokesperson confirmed that the Garden has applied for permits to host the Plaza 33 party tonight and those permits have been granted. The permit is solely for tonightβs Game 1. Status for future watch parties is TBD. The NYPD previously banned the watch parties outside MSG during the ECF against the Cavaliers for being too rowdy.
I can't stop thinkin bout Wemby in The garden in the finals .. this the Negativty we need... this thing can go so many ways... NYC ppl the most entertaining fans.. Wemby certified demon .
Max Kellerman:
βWhat Wemby did to Chet in a way, is what LeBron did to Steph. In Game 6 where he blocked his shot and screamed on him, Steph kind of had his head hung, there was something in that moment.β
