How are Spero Dedes and Greg Anthony?


Why can't Marv do our TNT games?


I love Marv, but he's a shell of his former self. He sounds like he's really struggling these days. Hearing a vintage playoff, "YES" could hit the spot, though.
SELL THE TEAM, JIM!!! :curse:

https://www.nytimes.com/2021/05/03/health/covid-herd-immunity-vaccine.html

An upward moving target like that is not only tough to hit but increasingly difficult to mobilize a whole population around. This doesn’t even consider the reality that
this threshold has to be reached globally, not just in the developed economies as it is today. So, I sort of applaud the practicality of the scientific approach now to view the vaccination as a way to slow down and make the disease manageable rather than expect to entirely eliminate it.

I live in apart of the world where there is practically zero tolerance, so the slightest uptick in cases triggers lockdowns. With the world being interconnected the way it is, it’s been difficult to grasp how the apparent end goal of elimination of cases meshes with the likelihood of either full isolation from the rest of the world or global elimination of the virus. These decision trees and the ultimate “correct path” will be something worth digging through 10-15 years from now.

Agreed. We wiped out smallpox and mostly polio, but not Flu or Coronavirus. I've seen that the 25% that refuse vaccines are consistent throughout Western countries and China. So are you in Singapore, Taiwan, or Japan?

In the Sing Sing. I feel like refusal is a global phenomenon, I’ve had conversations with folk that think eating lots of fruits and vegetables provides better protection than a vaccine. Good meaning folk that otherwise seem worldly. Mask wearing has not been an issue, and the availability of disinfectant at pretty much every doorway imaginable indicates the willingness of folk to take preventative measures. Vaccines just seem to be something else for I’m sure myriad reasons. I guess we’ll have to see how it all goes.



Here in Long Island, rates of vaxxed residents variances are related to levels of education/income.

Analysis: Vaccination rates vary drastically by ZIP code; Suffolk lower than Nassau | Newsday

This one has 40 more pages, i'd say make a new thread at 6pm - 6:30 though instead of waiting for this one to go 100 pages.

Note: All good from me if someone else makes it. I just made this one carrying on from the regular-season win.

And i'm off to take the kids to the park................

The last time the Knicks were in the playoffs I was getting ready to graduate college and now I am in my 4th year in the fire service. Things have changed a lot for me in 8 years but my love for this team has maintained. I am so glad to have them back in the playoffs.

No no no, you have to make it, you have the win-streak going. Can't break that tradition.

Just make it whenever you can before the game if you can.

The NY Times has an article about how great it feels to be a Knicks fan today. They interview the lovedly Ashley from KFTV!

https://www.nytimes.com/2021/05/23/sports/basketball/knicks-fans.html

Why Being a Knicks Fan Hurts So Good
Knicks fans used to disappointment are now reveling in a season of joy. “God forbid, if we win, we are going to burn this city down,” one famous fan said.
