"...Donald Trump, a man who routinely lies..."

To read that, so uncontroversial that it is not emphasized but mentioned en passant, literally as a sub-thought of one sentence, is to read how far along we are in the normalization of the pathological.

To lure Iran into a broader deal that covers its nuclear program, any presidential administration — not just one led by Donald Trump, a man who routinely lies — would likely have to rely on many more such deceptions.

G3 Mandami City (2-0) -2.5 vs San Antone, Monday 8:30 pm

The line opened at Mamdani City only 1.5. Not much of a home-court ad ol' Peoples Square Garden, huh Vegas? 

Disrespectful, as the San Antone -6.5 line was for G2. "Spurs" were favorites both prior games and lost. Of course, I don't know who is going to win G3, but I do know who is going to be the first team to win four and that's Mamdani City. I am confident that they will get their third of the requisite four Monday night.

"It’s almost as if the Terry Rozier era has made the organization gun shy."

This is two months old but I didn't see it until today and its speculation is tremendous. Barry Jackson on why 601 Biscayne overvalues its roster in trade discussions:

Riley has said that it’s worth offering the moon only for two or three players on Earth. But how about taking more chances on more players whose talent exceeds their trade value? It’s almost as if the Terry Rozier era, which mercifully ended Friday, has made the organization gun shy.

I don't think it's the Terry Rozier error, my memory, however faulty is that the overvaluation antedates Scary Terry, and Jackson's statement is "It's almost as if..." Not that he really believes that that's what it is, but that it's so "dumbfounding", his word, that he can't but help think about it.

WEMBANYAMA FLOPPED ON LAST SHOT!*

 

‘Wasn’t Even Touched’ — NBA World Rips Victor Wembanyama for ‘Soft’ Flop on Final Play of Spurs’ Game 2 Loss to Knicks

Make no mistake about this. Not only does Wemby totally flop here, but he then gets up, looks around, and shrugs complaining about no call.

Soft stuff. He’s better than that.

I still can’t believe how Wemby fell and looked for a call to end the game. Bitch made.

That's a TECHNICAL FOUL! That is disgraceful. Wendy, in his first two Finals games, has been manipulative, emotionally fragile, soft, on his menstrual period.

New York City Crime Rate Reaches Record Low Amid Knicks Finals Run

"WE GOTTA REPLACE THE STATUE OF LIBERTY WITH JALEN BRUNSON'S FACE!" 😂



New York City is young and fun and one, 




from the peoples Mayor,




to Rikers Island.



Bonkers over the Knickerbockers, a city transformed by joy...(and still two wins to go 👀😂)

I have never seen anything like this

Joy has made traffic non-existent in Midtown Manhattan; JOY has blocked sidewalks; JOY (and the Mayor's proclamation) has canceled childrens' bedtimes; JOY has made the city bi-chromatic, orange and blue, and colorblind to those other boring black, brown, white. Everyone wants to be a New Yorker today!

If I had the money, I would buy a billboard in Manhattan...

...to thank the Mayor, the players, and the people of New York City for the joy that they have delivered into every home in America and to more around the world.

New York is a city TRANSFORMED

It is young and fun and celebrating as one. "New York City is having a moment," The Guardian said. It's young socialist Mayor is one of them. All New Yorkers are one tonight. It is a magical moment.








😂👏

“I can’t be happier. As a New Yorker, nothing could ruin my day now, my week, my month, my summer,” the 27-year-old, who goes by “Les,” told The Post. 

Les, a Harlem native, already had grand plans for a possible Knicks title.

“I’m gonna propose to the most beautiful woman I’ll meet that night. ‘Cause right now I’m single. And if I don’t find nobody I’ll just marry the game,” he declared.

Wembanyama: 'I could’ve been better recovering' from OKC series


Victor Wembanyama admits he is still being affected by the last series.

“I think I could’ve been better recovering from the high of the conference finals. But here we are now. The past is the past.”


Shelby Blackley

The scene in Midtown is very fun. It’s only two games but there’s something bringing this city together. Men are hugging and saying to take care of each other and stay safe.

A “Go Knicks” chant broke out amongst tourists at 7th and 38th.

No kumbaya for Wembanyama

9.5" left. Bruson misses, defended by Wembanyama, Wembanyama gets rebound, headmans it...

...AND THROWS IT OFF CASTLE'S HINDQUARTERS!!!!!!!!!


Victor, don't look like a woman on her period, that is not a good look, Victor-Victoria. And you had a soft-as-a-fat-girl's-ass game.

SAN ANTONIO -- — Go crazy, New York. Or, perhaps more accurately, crazier.

The red-hot Knicks are going home, two wins away from an NBA championship that the capital of the world has been waiting to see for generations.
