“Analytically…we’ve won 2 out of 3” — Kenny Atkinson

@BigKnickEnergy_ Lance Thomas was a captain. Feel sick just typing it.

If you weren't there for the dark ages of: • Chris Duhon • Howard Eisley • Glen Rice • Shandon Anderson • Clarence Weatherspoon • Malik Rose • Jared Jeffries • Renaldo Balkman Then today’s success doesn’t mean as much to you. We really survived the shit of the shit.

@Jostynh @WorldWideWob Even up 20 I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop. Been through to much to celebrate before the finish line.

@WorldWideWob Game 6 from ‘94 is the one that haunts me. Until the Knicks have a double digit lead in a close out game for the championship I will reserve my emotions.

I’ve heard this response a lot this week from Knicks fans who were alive for that series. The common denominator in a melting pot of personalities/backgrounds is they will remain spiritually-reserved during this year’s Finals, until the Knicks have a closeout game. The kids will be excited from the start, god bless them, but our entire lives/fandom habits were shaped by that Game 7 at The Summit. For the last 32 years: dogs chasing cars. The thrill is in the chase, but the potential never becoming reality becomes a curse. When you get that close and fall short, it’s hard to ever unshackle yourself into emotional availability. I, too, share these sentiments. It doesn’t mean we don’t care, but are simply protecting our mental assets from anticipated market volatility. With that said, if the Knicks somehow get to three wins in the Finals: it’s all in. I will be attending every game until the series ends.

@nyknicks Fuck. This is worse than the Dart video. We'll, almost.

revealing the knicks’ secret weapon....

thought this sh!t was AI, what we doing man

@NYCMayor The only catch is that it's at MetLife Stadium. Those seats may as well be on ESB Observation Deck. #WorstStadiumEver

1,000 World Cup tickets. $50 each. All for New Yorkers. We fought hard to make the people’s game available to the people — and won. Let the summer of soccer begin.

It's a measure of how many World Cup issues there are that I'd forgotten that the games themselves are going to be played in quarters.

The Year is 2054. My grandson bounces on my knee. “But pop-pop, how did the Knicks rebound from a 2-9 January stretch to win their first championship in 50+ years?” I look at him, a tear forming in my graying eyes. “Landry Shamet, my dear boy. Landry Shamet.”

Just throwing it out there that the lane is wiiiiiiiiide open for a tech company to get insanely rich by just replicating the 2010 version of big websites like Google while explicitly stating that they hate AI.

When I’m watching a basketball game, I want them to use the weirdest camera angles possible. Anything is cool with me, so long as it makes it harder to figure out what’s going on. I watch to be confused.

You can tell they've spent literally 10s of dollars getting MetLife Stadium ready for the World Cup #WorstStadiumEver

@engadget We need to stop using the word "upgrade" in stories like this. Not every change is an upgrade.

We should just remove all the data centres in the world and replace them with trees

Commencement speaker: I love AI and I hate all of you. They gave me a big check to be here. I love firing people at my big company. I bet none of you would get jobs at my business now that we have AI (booing) Commencement speaker: oh? What? What?

still not quite over the fact that i watched 15 year olds get sued for millions of dollars for downloading twelve songs and now we all have to accept AI slop because every tech company in the known universe decided that IP laws don't exist now that they're inconvenient for them

We're in a weird era where a guy gets publicly shamed for running his sprinklers on a Tuesday, while a data center the size of a Costco quietly drains a reservoir so AI can generate a picture of your cat as a medieval knight. And the data center gets a tax incentive for it.

Many basketball fans judge 1960s athleticism based on old highlights, pointing to "stiff" dribbling and a lack of explosive drives. But that wasn't a lack of physical ability—it was strict officiating. • Zero Tolerance for Carrying: You couldn't place your hand anywhere near the side or bottom of the ball. Players were forced to push the ball strictly from the top, which fundamentally limited their change-of-direction speed and crossover ability. • Strict Offensive Fouls: Lowering a shoulder or initiating contact meant an immediate whistle. You couldn't simply bulldoze your way down the lane like Giannis does today. The truth is, if you dropped modern superstars into the 1960s, their signature explosive drives wouldn't just be whistled down—they wouldn't exist in the first place. Players only develop and practice the skills that the rules allow them to use. You can't romanticize modern athleticism without acknowledging that today's wide-open style is a direct result of a drastically loosened rulebook.
