What’s Good Wednesdays™: Midweek recs from the GZERO Team

Watch: The New York Knickerbockers are back in the NBA Eastern Conference Finals for the first time since 2000, when they fell to the Indiana Pacers in six. Twenty-five years later, the same rival returns, sans Reggie Miller. Game 1 tips off tonight at 8pm ET at Madison Square Garden. Timothée Chalamet is ready. Are you? – Nolan

Scroll: The “Sidetalk” Instagram page. It’s only fitting, on the day the Knicks return to the Eastern Conference Finals, that we recommend New York City’s most outrageous social media channel. Sidetalk features the wildest characters from America’s largest and craziest city, many of whom are gathered around Madison Square Garden these days, waiting to celebrate a win for their championship-starved basketball team. Fair warning: There’s some vulgar content, but it’s well worth the ride. – Zac

Check out: Hurling, in case the Knicks break our hearts. This sport is like the love child of hockey, lacrosse, and chaos (in the best way). It’s super fast, insanely skilled, and totally thrilling from start to finish. Plus, it’s one of the oldest sports in the world, packed with Irish pride. I discovered it during a recent trip to Ireland and shall be making the trip up to Gaelic Park in the Bronx to see it again. – Riley
