But tonight, Spike Lee really didn't show up courtside.
Previously, people unanimously thought that Spike Lee saying he wouldn't return to Madison Square Garden before Roger retired was just angry talk, believing he would continue to appear courtside in G2 to cheer for the Knicks.
But when he was absent from the finals, people realized how deeply he was hurt.
Will Spike Lee regret this? After all, tonight the Knicks won the victory.
Or perhaps, he gained an opportunity to avoid disappointment? Because he no longer misplaced expectations.
G3, when the game returned to Mission Bay, Spike Lee's choice not to watch the game seemed incredibly wise.
It turned out he hadn't wasted time on something destined for disappointment.
For the first three quarters of G3, the Knicks maintained a slight lead.
But in the fourth quarter, Matt Barnes completely overturned the Knicks with three three-pointers.
