Knicks in London
- Thread starter gman
- Start date
Gman,
I've been a long suffering Knick fan forever. Curious what kind of crowd they draw for the game and how enthusiastic the crowd is about the product (which is admittedly not good right now). I plan on tuning in for at least part of it. Enjoy!

[quote="gman" post=315630]I’m heading out to the Knicks game at O2 arena. I managed to get some pretty kick ass seats. I’m not a knicks fan (I generally don’t care about the NBA) but will root for the NY team.[/quote]
So I guess you will be rooting for the Knicks to lose-tanking for a high lottery pick is the goal.

Yes. I believe now the 4 teams with the poorest records each have an equal 15% chance to win the lottery so the goal is to finish in the bottom 4.

It was sold out with the crowd was decent but it fetch split between Knicks and Wizards fans. It was really just people wanting a scene. Tons of soccer players in Feb crowd. Starks, Earl the Pearl and Sprewell attended.
I managed to have 5th seats behind the hoop. It was a fun night.

My eyes aren't as good as they used to be so I don't quite get the emojis
But they lost by one on a goal tending call right before the buzzer
In all the years I have followed basketball, I never saw a team lose that way
Leave it to the Knicks for finding a creative way to lose
Up 1 with 12 seconds left with possession of the ball and they blow it
If Coach Fiz had any hair, he would have pulled it all out today!!

emojis were a wink and a smile for saying Knicks won as regarding my earlier point that they are better off losing to help draft position that they actually won today by losing the game.

Wow. We actually left after the 3rd. My wife is 8 months pregnant and the commute out of 02 arena is a nightmare. There is basically one tube line that runs there and 15k people trying to get on it. Last tome we went it took an hour to get on the tube and we almost missed the connection to our tube line home because not all of them run 24hrs.

I didn't realize how far O2 is out there. In all my times in London I've never ventured that direction.

It's in Greenwich. It would be like if you went to FiDi and then needed to take one more stop across the water to Staten Island.
The bigger issue is that our tube line stops running at 11pm. It's silly that they don't run 24 hours. Some lines started running 24hr a couple years back, but unfortunately ours isn't one. This isn't an early/late city. I think ours starts at 5:15am, so if I worked in Canary Wharf I wouldn't be able to make it down there early for a before work gym session if I needed to be on a desk by 7am. It certainly isn't NYC.
