An important section from Brad Lander’s speech last night…

[Joe @JoeR42]

@shannonrwatts There is absolutely nothing contradictory between those things and wanting a free Palestine.

@flaminhottweets @LinkofSunshine NY-17 used to kinda be this back in the day! Went from Riverdale through a tiny sliver of Yonkers up to Monsey and New Square.

[Tipping Pitches @tipping_pitches]

If you want a salary cap, you are saying — in defense of billionaires’ pockets — you want to spend every offseason discussing the incredibly Byzantine and fucking boring details of salary cap management.

Less than a week from the Knicks’ title and this is already a concern!

@Lex_Tric @SiriusStonks @DragonflyJonez Jay-Z hasn't had an ownership stake in the Nets in 13 years. Zero affiliation with them at this point.

@ESPNNewYork It's got to be Mariano.

[Joe @JoeR42]

New York deserves this so much.

[Joe @JoeR42]

THE NEW YORK KNICKS ARE THE CHAMPIONS OF THE NBA

IT'S REALLY HAPPENING

[Joe @JoeR42]

Somebody ban Jazz Chisholm Jr. from ever challenging another pitch again.

[Joe @JoeR42]

@mdotbrown One thing of note -- KAT was right there ready to make the rebound and layup if OG's tip didn't go in. Was clearly jumping for the ball and held back his hands once it went in the net. And with 1.2 left, I think he had enough time to rebound and layup if needed.

[Joe @JoeR42]

THE NEW YORK KNICKS. OMG. TEAM OF DESTINY.

[Joe @JoeR42]

omg I can't believe Wemby missed that. What a win. Knicks in 4.

[Joe @JoeR42]

GO NY GO NY GO

What a win.

[Joe @JoeR42]

@DraftKings The token logo, easily. (Also, bottom left should be made the primary. No need for the triangle in there.)

[Joe @JoeR42]

@killtyre13 @FB_Helmet_Guy These are the ones. The modern Knicks logo on the shorts, simple blue/orange/white (no black or silver, except for the logo!), the superior "New York" font. Bring these back and call it a day.

[Joe @JoeR42]

@Travis_Sawchik Can't compare to the NFL since all their TV contracts are national, and you can (and have) literally put a team in a small city in a freezing cold part of the Midwest and have them be worth >$6B dollars. Could never do that without fully nationalized TV contracts.

[Joe @JoeR42]

@Travis_Sawchik The buzz around these finals is a million times greater than, say, Bucks/Suns or Thunder/Pacers.

And look at the ratings difference between the 2023 WS (Rangers/D-Backs) vs. 2024 (Yankees/Dodgers).

[Joe @JoeR42]

@Travis_Sawchik @cavey_justin Way to cherry pick a start date specifically to exclude the Royals.
