PG: The Rewards Go To The True Believers

This is awesome, but it confused me a bit because I grew up going to school with a guy I thought had become THE organist at MSG, and the guy in the video isn't him. I just looked him up (my guy), and it looks like he's still doing it as of a few days ago, so does MSG actually have multiple house organists?

I think he's the back up to your guy Ray

I can't imagine how hype it is to play those chords during a big possession

I take it back, my guy may also be a backup, because now that you posted Ray Castoldi, it dislodge the memory of, "of course that's the guy, Breen's always mentioning him".

It looks like the guy I know might be an MSG backup, but he does the organ for the Mets, too? Interesting where people you know as kids end up!

A live organist works with the fans to create atmosphere and excitement. How many NBA teams have organists?

GoogleAI says:

While it's hard to say definitively for every single NBA team, the general consensus is that a relatively small number of NBA teams still employ organists.

Marc Stein, 2 years ago, mentioned the Knicks, OKC, Atlanta, and the Lakers use an electronic keyboard that sounds like an organ. "Regular readers familiar with my ever-nostalgic bent will not be surprised to learn (or read again) that I delight in the organ music played at Madison Square Garden. Combined with the Knicks' raucous fans, it makes for the best soundtrack in basketball for me."

I love our organist(s) and hope we alway have them. Mike Breen + Clyde + organist + The FANS = the greatest soundtrack of all time

Nah go sit down. You did quit. You quit every other week. It's a travesty there isn't a way to permanently ban the filth like nedleeds, KnicksGmen and you and tons of others (even mods) from jumping back on the wagon. But thankfully posts here are like forever receipts and everyone knows what you truly are.

Anyway I'm so happy for the TRUE diehard fans that were born after 2000 who are experiencing this for the first time. Enjoy it! Cherish it and don't take it for granted! Same for us old heads! This team is special and it's been an incredible ride but we are not done! These are 2007 NYG vibes and we WILL win it all! IT'S DESTINY!

I quit every week? Eat a bag of dicks bro. I didn't watch one a game because Thibs sucks. I spent MONTHS on here backing this team when people were trashing every player on it. Not the coach but, I never quit on the TEAM. So take your punk ass BS somewhere else. always talking **** about the posters on this board. Who the fuq are you? You're a nobody on a message board.

You just proved my point!

Is that gif from a Chris Duhon podcast?

I completely forgot about Duhorrible. Mike D'antoni treated him like Thibs treated Burks.

Need to hang OG’s name in the rafters biggest upgrade we made from a losing player to a winning player of all time.

Like going from that wood Brick black and white box tv that weighs 2 tons at gramma's house to a 70" flat screen 4k oled TV.

Donte sucked off the bench for us btw. He wasn't playing well until he became a starter. He struggled a bit off the bench in Minny this year. I would love to have ran that team back and just add Mikal but, that wasn't possible.

Here we are in the ECF so .. Everything Rose did worked out fine. 8 down and 8 to go.

HE DID WHAT???

I had to read that sentence a few times before I actually understood what you meant!

I was in Boston this whole week. I watched this game on a plane full of Celtics FANS. It was glorious hearing the plane get quieter and quieter until I was the only one clapping.

I AM DRUNK ON THEIR GREEN TEARS.

Loving being up here in New England for this series. I did NOT want to be here two weeks ago.

I was here for the 3 days this site got hijacked by "detractors" who made it their mission to argue against the new roster.

Now, the roster that was built to beat Boston actually BEAT BOSTON!!!

If you want to go down the rabbit hole, you could make an argument that keeping Randle and DiVencenzo while adding Bridges would have made us better (at least for) this year.

The problem at the time was Randle was:

1. A bit more a headcase,
2. Up until that point was terrible in the playoffs in the NY spotlight
3. Sounded like his contract extension would be a problem and he might leave.

With the risks involved, I still think we made to right decision but I will say this: If Randle was able to excorcise his playoff demons like he did this year in Minny, coupled with keeping Divo who loved playing here, you could definitely argue that we could have been a better team.

I truly believe LAST years team if it remained healthy had a legit chance to beat Boston. Not garanteeing we would have, but we were a studly defensive team after the OG trade (something like 20-5) before everyone and their mother started succumbing to injuries. That team in one of the last regular season games blow out Boston in their building with a defensive intensity quite similar to what we saw in game 6.

Also it was a team with more than 3/4 its top 6-7 starters out that took the Pacers to 7 games.

And with saying all this I am not saying in any way I am unhappy with KAT either.

But if you call this years Randle in Minny and KAT kind of a wash, Divo's ridiculous 3 ball was definitely missed.

Yep, while KAT has been solid in the playoffs but still up and down, Randle has been pretty amazing in the playoffs on both ends. We would’ve won the chip last year if he was healthy. That being said, this current Knicks group has a legit shot to win it all with KAT.

We had absolutely abysmal luck with Randle in the playoffs. 3 playoffs in a row where he was hurt. I think it was fair to trade him at that point.
He has proven he can play in the playoffs this season but no one knew if his game would truly translate well in the playoffs until now since like I said he was always hurt come playoff time.

This thread really shouldn’t be about Randle lol y’all taking this way too far. We’re better now. Why aren’t you?

If we had a team meeting before Game 6 of the 2013 Semis against Pacers, maybe we would have won Kenyon!
