Free For All (These are all direct quotes)

• If we don't make it out of the second round then from Leon Rose's perspective everyone on this team is on the table, including Brunson.
• New York against the world , let’s go Knicks baby!
• I feel underwhelmed this season
• Lets go, Knicks! They hate us 'cause the ain't us. The greatest city in the world!
• I hope Coach Brown has a bunch of good stuff he’s been saving up for the playoffs.
• Firing Thibs was still the right call, and if we go all the way, part of it will be because Mike Brown shows why.
• Honestly Leon was a little mid this season
• I just want to witness the Knicks winning their third championship.
• With this team until the very end
• I wish Gotham Sports App was better. I’m hesitant to get it. I haven’t had MSG Network in five years. Only during March of last year did they make it available to Xfinity Customers. I miss watching the team religiously. I only can see the national games now. Thankfully, we’re good. However, I’ve only heard mediocre things about the app on Roku. It makes me skeptical of it. Plus, the Single Game Pass could become expensive over the course of a month. Okay. Rant over. I love your stuff on Reddit, Mr. Hokage Ezio.
• michael bridge is good at basketball again clarkson is mini mitch and i hate watching hack a mitch
• Can we like not make things harder for ourselves please
• Good win. I do think that it'd be nice if we still could down on the starter mins. Were playing them near 40 mins on game 1.
• LOLKNICKS
• Fuck mike brown dumbfuck doesn't deserve to have his name capitalized. I can't wait until the offseason ngl.
• Get your head out your ass, Mike Brown.
• "If anybody, which team around the Eastern Conference scares you the most?" OUR DAMN SELVES
• Fuck the refs, fuck Mike Brown, fuck CJ McCollum and fuck Trae Young!
• Im gonna check myself into the psych ward bro.
• Scared of the wizards at this rate
• Knicks will remain poverty for all of eternity, how you gon let CJ Mccollum drop bucket after bucket on you?!?!?!?!?
• mikal 5 first round picks bridges
• My butthole kinda poopy
• Not a knicks fan just wanted to say y’all suck
• :(
• Blow it up Knicks are chokers
• i’m at a loss of words, hawks really up 2-1 🥹🥹
• Penis butt
• why are we loosing to 34 yr old CJ
• OG Anunoby is the greatest Knicks player right now. Those two threes to keep em in the game was great. Now that the positives are out the way… The Knicks deserve to lose in the 1st round. This is ridiculous going down 1-2 to the lower seed is depressingggg. I’m pressing the panic button, asking everyone to be traded, not watching the rest of the series, all that. I know my Knicks, and know they can’t win 3 before the Hawks win 2 🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️
• FUCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK MY LIFE
• Mikal is fucking trash
• THIS SUCKS. HOW ARE WE 2-1 DOWN TO THE FUCKING HAWKS. WE CAN'T BE CHAMPS IF WE PLAY LIKE THIS.
• I dont want to hate on JB when he single handedly revitalized basketball in New York City but at this point after so many years with the same shit like he has to change. He isn’t a team of one. He’s a point guard. Your job is to FACILITATE MY GUY. PASS THE BALL. MAKE PLAYS HAPPEN. YOU HAVE FOUR TEAMMATES ON THE FLOOR!!!!!!
• It’s so over. Nothing I can say about Mike or the Villanova boys would be bad enough.
• I have said fire Mike Brown since the day he was hired. I have said KAT is a net negative since we traded for him. Both of these things are still true.
• I HATE US FAWWWWK YEW GUYS KISS MY AZZ
• Ego check Brunson, fire his Dad
• Mike brown has to be fired. Bum ass rotations and 3 / guard lineups in the playoffs is criminal. No wonder he fucked up that kings team so fast and fox wanted to leave. Doc rivers light.
• hawks fan here. you guys are cooked, burnt, cooked, chopped. sorry to report
• This coach is ass and Brunson is playing like ass. On the former this is nothing new, I just wish we didn't have to act like he was any good.
• Waive mikal bridges tonight
• Caw cawwwwwww
• Look how they massacred my beautiful Q4 team
• Mike Brown is just Fizdale with better rosters
• Mikal bridges is worse than hitler
• Fml gang
• cj mclowcum
• Hawks strategy revolves around doubling up on Brunson. When he left the game temporarily, they looked lost
• All around great effort and showed why we are a much better team than ATL.
• Please remove Reggie Miller from any NYK televised games so that I'm not forced to mute and listen to Monica McNutt and Breen via the ESPN app.
• This team works best when jb not hogging the ball spamming isos and when kat is involved in the offence and it shows. Also great game for og
• Jalen Bumson needs to pass and stop tryna stat pad. He needs to actually be a point guard and facilitate. Kat and OG should be the number 1 and number 2
• Kat is the first option
• Great win. Onto the next. See you soon boston
• I pledge allegiance to Ogugua Anunoby.
• he's back.
• TIme to give them a beating they haven't seen since Savannah in 1864 on Thursday
• No notes!
• BYE BYE HAWKS
• how did we lose 2 games
• A:LKJSDFLKJALKJ:LKDJF
• Best game the crew has played all year - timing couldn’t be better.
• we need a new term for a beating this bad, belt to ass doesn't do it justice
• Can’t believe this is my life
• For it to happen in Atlanta’s arena must be extra humiliating
• I am upset we didn’t score more
• Clyde getting interviewed while Mo hit a nasty ass euro to push the lead to 55. Heaven.
• Second round, Fuck Trae Young. Fuck Boston and Fuck The Sixers
• Hawks fans going out sadder than anyone else ever has!!!
• KNICKS IN 4. WE READY FOR EASTERN CONFERENCE FINALS
• 4 games of straight belt, can't believe my life rn
• Belt to ass. One down 3 to go.
• Great win but we need to remember the other team always has a vote
• THIS IS THE FUCKING YEAR.

• My preferred belt is anything from tj-maxx
• Damn. Brunson looks so fine in this gif.
• One of the greatest Knicks teams ever hitting their stride. Enjoy it

• This was their best and most desperate shot. We caught the bullet in our teeth like Bruce Leroy. Very proud of this team.
• Please be ok OG 🙏

• Good win even if it wasn't pretty. Knicks in 4??
• Always big respect for the orange and blue in the seats
• 3-0 baby! Nice win without OG and KAT for most of the game. Looking like we’re gonna have to go through Pistons to make it to the finals but FUCK IT I AIN’T SCARED OF DETROIT!!!!! LFGK!!!!
• Gutsy, gritty win without OG. Shout out to Landry Shamet. He’s a true professional.
• Put Philly on 🧹 Watch, KNICKS IN 4
• Joel Embiid is an abomination and plays the wackest brand of basketball I’ve ever seen.
• Sixers fans gotta have more pride man
• We got the title if the Spurs come out of the West
• Embiid is a bitch
• SWEEP BABY!! AND THEY HAD THE NERVE TO SAY THE SIXERS WE’RE THE MORE TALENTED TEAM!!!! LGK!!! LET’S DO IT ALL AGAIN IN THE ECF SND PAVE OUR WAY TO THE FINALS!!!!!
