LOL...Knicks fans finally face reality.  Start at 18:52 

"The reality is..."

Yup, been that way all season. 

Edit: 19:46 is some reality too.

Haha, "The reality is ..."

I feel like if we had a roundtable like that, it would be may more chaotic than that.

Somebody would be making fart noises, I'd be laughing the whole time, @NBASupes would be yelling at folks, stu (I'm not allowed to @mention him) would be teaching us about proper debate technique, you and @JayBirdHawk would be judging us all, @Spud2nique and @macdaddy would be straight arguing about nothing in particular.  @bird_dirt and @AHF would be plotting how to trade everybody for Kentucky guys, @Wretch would walk in at the last minute saying he thought we started an hour later, and @MaceCase would reveal that he was a Knicks fan all this time.

IOW, I'm saying it would be glorious.

This is absurd.  We need to murder these guys.  This is the fuel we need for more fire.  
Usually a politician plays it safe with comments.  Insulting a 21 year old.  That’s too far.  
Can anyone recall a city mayor say something this demeaning to an athlete?  

No one needs to defend Trae here.  Most people feel embarrassed for the mayor.  See below..

Fun Fact! Hawks Hall of Famer Richie Guerin averaged 9.8 FTAs/game for the Knicks in 1962.

Mayor:  Trae don't have to hunt fouls.  They are right there for the taking.  Tell your team to quit handing them out so freely...

I actually really liked that type of analysis.  I don't think some of what they suggest will work, but at least it wasn't all "Trae just gets bogus fouls, blah blah blah"

Yeah, I'm glad we are playing the knicks, they have a ton of fans that really break the game down well and I've been learning a lot.

Trying to score points with his voters by giving a 21 year old who just beat his team the middle finger.  Maybe we can get Keisha Lance to issue a smack down.  At least get a bet going where de Blasio has to personally apologize to Trae.

Again, the Hawks had 12 free throws which was 25% less than the Knicks had.

If Knicks fans were like these guys, I wouldn't have a problem with them. They're rational, intelligent, and actually know what the hell is going in the game. That other 99% of Knicks fans can go kick rocks.

I LOL for real at Rashad's response.

Complete clown show.  From the mayor to the fans.  The funny thing is they don't even realize they aren't doing their team any favors acting like petulant children.  Whining about fouls, screaming obscenities....all they doing is ensuring they get the absolute best from Trae and the Hawks.  Bunch of damn fools.  I bet Thibs wishes they'd all just shut the hell up.

But see ..... folks call us bad fans because we don't do stuff like that ... I guess?

I mean, I can't see myself taking time out of my work day to stake out the opposing team hotel just to .... to what?  Heckle some dude that doesn't care what I say anyway?  For like 6 seconds?  And you know them dudes had been out there for hours.

Does that make me a bad fan?  We keep getting told New Yorkers are the most knowledgeable fans and the mecca, the mecca, the mecca ...

Is that what passes for high brow commentary these days?

Am I wrong?

We could absolutely still lose this series.  It's only been 1 game, after all.

But man would we be doing the world a favor if we win.

This is turning into circus.  I kind of love it because we haven’t had this much publicity since?  Maybe the Boston series in 08’.  
 

The 60 win Hawks never had an all eyes on us moment during the playoffs.  This Knicks series could erupt into something really special.  Anything that kicks off in a way that reminds everyone of Reggie Miller taunting MSG is pretty great.
