Knicks Fans Were In HELL Last Night

Everyone knows New York fans are loud mouth, obnoxious, arrogant scumbags. Even them. They wear it like a badge of honor to the point I almost respect it. At least when it comes to being a Yankees fan because they are pretty much always good. But not from Knicks fans. You haven't earned that right.

The way Knicks fans came in to Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse acting like it was 1993 all over again was delusional at best and suicidal at worst. You are literally the Cleveland Browns of the NBA. Comically bad ownership, inexplicably die hard fan base, consistently awful and embarrassing. I almost feel bad for you guys because I know the feeling. 

But no matter how hard you look down your nose at Cleveland, Thibs and Julius "I had almost as many turnovers as field goals" Randle aren't gonna look like Pat Riley And Patrick Ewing. It ain't happening. 

The amount of shit those guys in the above video were talking when the Knicks took a 12-4 lead just five minutes into the game was lunacy. You would have thought they were up 3-1 in the series leading by double digits in a closeout game. The entire section smelled like black and milds and whatever urine soaked train runs to Madison Square Garden because they wouldn't close their mouths

So naturally when the Cavs finished the first quarter on a 21-10 run and then built that lead up to 20 at halftime, people were out for blood. I mean look at these guys. Just in absolute hell. Even the little kid a few rows back was laying into them.

I'm not gonna lie, the Knicks bullied the shit out of the Cavs in game 1 and it seriously concerned me. I wondered how this young team would respond because that's the calling card of a Thibs squad. Especially one with this physical of a roster. 

But Cleveland not only answered the bell, they put New York in a standing eight count over and over Tuesday night.

And that wasn't just on the floor but also in the stands. Just look at my guy in the front row with his Timbs and fitted New York hat. He had no clue what to do with that drunk ass Tim Robinson looking dude just riding him all night long. 

Like I said, absolute hell.

The Cavs out-rebounded the Knicks 43-36 and found their stroke from deep again after shooting like shit in Game 1. That's the recipe for success in this series. Don't get dominated on the boards and make your threes.

I fully understand the ebbs and flows of the NBA playoffs and this one looks like it has seven games written all over it. So unlike those Bronx Bros I'm not counting my chickens before they hatch. Hell, I wouldn't even be surprised if the Cavs crap down their leg a little in Game 3. MSG is going to be bananas.

But the Cavs showed a lot of toughness last night and that they won't be pushed around. And the Cavs fan base showed we don't care how many hours you rode in your shit box car down here from The Big Apple, we'll send your ass home in a pretzel.
