No flagrant upgrade on the uncalled foul of Spurs' Victor Wembanyama to Knicks' Jalen Brunson on Monday night, a league spokesperson tells ESPN. Wembanyama will stay at two flagrant points in postseason.
"Wemby's international…they play dirty overseas…If I watch film & see Wemby throw somebody on my team, next game I'm gonna pop him so hard…After y'all watch film what he did to Jalen Brunson…you better make sure you put that knife in his neck…next game"
– Stephon Marbury
"We welcome you to New York City and Madison Square Garden, where for the first time in 27 years, a Finals game will be played in this iconic arena"
–– Mike Breen Game 3 intro on ABC, his voice a bit shaky
Im thinking about KAT, and his mother, Jacqueline Cruz Towns. I think about us, KnicksTwitter, and all the personal grief we’ve gone through over the years. People have lost their parents, siblings, children, partners, friends that are family, pets, etc.
Paul Pierce says Madison Square Garden is not that intimidating:
“Like I know, the aura and the mystique and all the legend of the Garden, but it’s not a big history there. It’s not like you’re walking into the Boston Garden, you see 17 goddamn banners, 30 retired numbers. You know what I’m saying? It’s certain arenas that has a certain mystique. And I know the Garden has like celebrities and it could be, you know, rowdy outside and all of that, but like it ain’t arena to where you like, damn, we got to go here and play.”

The world biggest Knicks fan didn’t like the acquisition of OG Anunoby
"I'm not moved [with the Knicks-Raptors trade]... Immanuel Quickley, I did not want to lose... Not having him there to me puts a lot more on Jalen Brunson.”

Jalen Brunson is obviously a top 10 Knicks player of all time, really top 4 at this point
When do we start putting Karl-Anthony Towns in the top 10 too?
This Knicks run is going to age as one of the most overrated Finals runs we’ve ever seen.
Hawks.
Sixers.
Cavs.
And now a young, inexperienced Spurs team that looked emotionally spent after knocking off an injured OKC squad.
The revisionist history that’s about to follow is going to be unbearable.
