The New York Knicks have had the most roller-coaster-y of playoff seasons, what with their series of losses and then a huge win last night at home against the Miami Heat. With such high intensity and emotional stakes, everyone wants to see these games firsthand, and that means the celebs are out in full force, courtside at Madison Square Garden. Here are a few of our favorite shots of some of our favorite A-listers — including our own La La Anthony (naturally), and Emily Bustamante — plus hardcore fans like Spike Lee, Ben Stiller, Kate Upton, and Alicia Keys. See who’s been hanging out by the hardwood in our gallery below.

Like Beyonce, we did not attend the grand re-opening of Jay-Z‘s 40/40 Club in Times Square last night. (Was Beyonce tending to Blue Ivy, or did she have more important things to do, like catch the season premiere of American Idol? We’ll never know…)

But of course there was a plethora of celebrity at the soiree to make up for Queen Bey’s absence. Of course, proud papa Jay was on hand, as was Renee Graziano from Mob Wives, Spike Lee, Selita Ebanks, Ashanti, Russell Simmons, basically this place was a who’s who of who’s hot. Yes, we just implied that Warren Buffett, who was also there, is hot. Check out our gallery below featuring all of Jay-Z’s nearest and dearest, and a few VH1 stars who snagged an invite, too.
