They boomed me. The mf Hawks boomed me!

They’re so bad x4

KAT instinctively yelled “AYE!” and looked for a ref, before realizing no foul call was coming and moving on with his day

Yeah this phrasing really reminded me of this copypasta. Listing out all the players and their reactions

Fucking dilapidated

Who wouldn’t cry after meeting Tony Perkis/White Goodman

Night at Madison Square Garden

And you need to breathe into the microphone like Kevin Nash.

Thibs flaws are greatly exaggerated. His biggest “flaw” is….he makes his players play too hard? I will genuinely never understand why a franchise as down bad as the Knicks fired their coach as soon as they were finally back to relevancy and made the conference finals. Like wtd did they expect to happen?

knicks about to have another 10 year playoff drought while repeating “at least the minutes are down”

I watched game 2 as Mike Brown played bench lineups that haven’t played together all year for extended minutes as the lead shrunk away without calling a time out, and all I could think of was Thibs screaming and calling timeouts 30 seconds into a quarter. Could’ve used some of that.

We’re so fucking mentally weak jesus christ.

Mike Brown is such a fucking loser. Just leave the city and never come back, what the fuck

Yeah these are trying too hard

The top comment on any post like this is always “fresh pasta” and it’s always the last time I see it

Good pasta is gone. All these people write their headlines the exact same goody way hoping that reddit and twitter and tiktok and whomever thinks its funny. Essentially, reporters found out that using unprofessional language was funny to people and they ran with it, and subsequently lost their professionalism in the process.

Same lmao. Very similar format but we need some words from the players

(In a pink hoodie)

it’s called a “drake and drive”

Holding back tears is perfectly normal. Move on, find a new slant.

He put a chair against the door to hold back those tears.

Those magic city wings boomed me

“They’re so saucy” could be heard repeated 4 times

holding back tears (thru texts).

Just sending this emoji to everyone unprompted 🥺🥺🥺

New York media is fucking brutal lmao

And he’s said multiple times this year that when he struggled it really affected his confidence

38M per year

Idk man. No matter how much monwy you make w still wanna give everything you have. D rose made so many millions but cried when he hit 50.

Schrödinger’s tears. Until you observe Mikal Bridges directly, he exists in a superposition of both states simultaneously. The reporter simply collapsed the wave function.

This thread already has dozens of comments about the “delicious new pasta”. It’s not journalism, but apparently it’s this sub’s wet dream

Look around they eat it up

Dawg this is the New York Daily News - it’s a complete rag, I wouldn’t even call it journalism in the first place.

It generates clicks and conversation like we doing rn 😂

In 2026 yes. The last actual sports journalists are all in their 50s and on the way out. Sports journalism is barely journalism at this point

Robin lopez flair is gangster as fuck

Assuming the reporter didn’t make this up, yes, this is literally journalism. Writing what you observed.

It paints a pretty bleak picture of the team’s current state of mind. But if it’s a genuine reflection of player behaviors and the tenor in the locker room, what’s the problem?

This one and all the others since so obviously just try to copy the og cavs one. Gotta make it less obvious.

I like seeing the obnoxious shit they do in the streets though when they win lol.

Knicks fans deserve only two things. Jack and shit.

I mean NYC was already officially naming streets after their players without even getting past the Eastern Conference Finals

they are happy when we lose and then on the rare chance we’re winning ppl say stuff like basketball is better when the knicks are good, msg is the best arena etc. Its funny

Hali came out and put the league on notice he was a top 5 player in the league. One game away from a chip to top 5 lotto pick. Mvps should have a honorable mention award and it should go to him this season.

That’s genuinely an achievement. You’d have to actively make your team worse on both ends for 30+ minutes to pull that off in a 1 point game. Like his presence on the court was a net negative worth an entire blowout margin and the rest of the team just barely compensated for it.

On the other hand, though, he’s got my boy NAW in jail

A Spurs fan saying this when Wemby was crying over a regular season win earlier this year is kinda ridiculous…

He played like shit and feels like shit because of the pressure of the season for them to perform. It happens. Knocking guys for caring is dumb.

Especially for a dude that’s literally been to the finals before lol

Bridges is a floor-raiser because he’s consistent and never misses games, but he’s not a ceiling raiser who is going to get you to the next level. Hard to invest so much draft capital in a guy like that.

But also, hindsight is 20-20 and I was disappointed the Nets didn’t take the Grizzlies offer for Bridges. Knowing what I know now, that would have been disastrous for us.

Brunson added him to his list of players he wanted to be son’ed by this summer.

If they left during media obligations, they should report it that way. This is just a mess of implications without saying anything directly.

Could do better than imply by just reporting on this in plain language.

“Mitchell Robinson skipped media obligations” is clear and creates no questions. ‘Mitchell Robinson walks out of the building’ tells us nothing.

The Pacers diced up the Thunder’s defense, arguably the best defense of the century. The Atlanta Hawks are not last year’s Pacers.

They dumped a good HC because of “vibes”, had no replacement plan, and hired a bum. Before they start tweaking the lineup, they should probably find a new GM.

Dawg the series is 2-1 and the Knicks have shown the capacity to dominate this team in the majority of quarters in the series so far. Can we just calm down and wait for the first round to finish before we make these dumb declarative statements? They were in the conference finals against a team who took OKC to 7 games last year - chill out

I must be high right now, the way I read this I wondered why a newborn baby was following the playoffs and commenting on Reddit.

Is it just a NY thing? Why is everything for them so dramatic? I remember earlier in the season they lost a couple games in a row and all of a sudden they need to fire Brown, get rid of KAT, Bridges and OG for Giannis after coming off a hot start.

Here they lose a close game and the world is ending?

The Mets winning 2 while the Knicks lose 2 has been poetic. Especially against the Twins right as the Wolves have gone up 2-1.

That said, I’d trade places right now, honestly, because this is rivaling all time ‘feel bad’ Knicks moments - and as someone that’s been watching since the Ewing days, that is saying a LOT lol

5 picks for him was insane even before ever playing a game for them

Yeah 5 picks is still fucking crazyyyy. He has not played even close to that value at all.

a battery would’ve hit his head already if he was in Philly

Copypasta is a slang term that refers to quotes or phrases that can be copy and pasted into different situations as kind of a shiboleth for an online community. Usually they are slightly edited to change names or events to fit the current situation. This for instance could easily be edited to fill in the names of any playoff team that might be having an unexpectedly hard series. It is easy copypasta material
