Why tf every player in the league hates the Knicks??? Like I just don’t get it we sucked for 20/25 years us Knicks fan should be the only ones hating on this franchise. It’s unreal every guy star non star role player mid ass player wants to get a 60 point triple double on the Knicks. Unreal.
He enjoyed playing a skeleton team? Full strength there is no way they beat us
This child needs to close his mouth. Easy to put up stats on a injured team. No one impressed
Everyone can be mad all the want, but the fact is Magic own us this season.
They are just as tough as us defensively with a lot of great young talent.
we get one more game against them, at least before playoffs. lets hope we’re healthy.
Big energy for beating a team without their starters 🤷♂️

What a turd- flexing after beating a team that is running the graveyard shift and even then Brunson put up 33
If we getting hated on, it means we doing it right. His comment was probably directed towards the fans in the stadium and not the team. You’d probably be upset too if you played at home and it felt more like an away game.
Love when players get all tough when they beat a team without like 4 starters 🤣
Did he forget we had 6 players out with injuries?
The team better keep receipts on this shit. Us fans too when they play us at home at a big boy stadium against a team that’s not missing a small army
lol oh brother. Keep that energy next time Shai is in town
I dont like this funny face ass nigga
Yall so annoying fuck u want him to say , “i love when the opponent gets mvp chants” he literally said exactly what he’s supposed to say
I just read this as he’s 21 years old, he was a number 1 pick and got an all star nod early.. so with everyone inflating his ego most of his life he’s going to have moments of immaturity and will lack perspective at times.
There isn’t anything controversial or wrong with this.
He’s happy he didn’t have to face Randle today
yo let the magic enjoy their 3W
they’re gonna be on the couch playing xbox when the playoffs start
We’re so sensitive, lol.
Dude should always wanna kill their opponents. He probably put something extra on it because Knick fans always invade Orlando.
I have no problem with this
Clown. I hope we get a top seed and face them in the playoffs
lol that’s not even our final form
Whatever. That dude is a super solid young player. I do enjoy seeing what he can do. Let him be cocky.
So we good with Paulo Banchero saying the N word?
This Pizza Merchant Tyrus Thomas should shut the fuck up.
Paolo just remember.
The Lannisters always pay their debts.
This guy sounds like every Orlando fan in r/nba. Popping bottles because they beat a G-league team with Jalen Brunson. Can’t wait to smack these guys when we’re at full strength
That Magic team played their hearts out… against Taj Gibson. I respect their win in front of a thousand screaming Knicks fans in Orlando but keep that energy when the whole NY roster shows up.
Side note: Banchero balled out. He showed all-star level play. Respect. But those Wagner boys ain’t shit.
Time to send them home?
“But we’ve already got Knicks players at home”
The Knicks at home:
Randle
OG
Hartenstein
Mitch Rob
Bogan
You can tell how young Paolo is making this comment. Can you imagine what Tibs would say to him if he was a Knick and he said this?

I don’t mind the banter with fans but it’s a bit wack that Paolo only did this because SGA did the exact same thing to them the game before
I’m so thankful for the Garden. Imagine if the Magic were your team and you had to watch half the games on that dull, lifeless court.
The Magic have beaten knicks 3 times so far this year including when knicks had healthy players on the floor including Randle . They were coming off a loss to OKC so it was an uphill battle, even with a full squad. Use this motivation. Banchero shouldn’t poke the bear.
When I was leaving the game. An older magic fan who has been going to magic games for 30 years told me anytime we are in town we make the most noise out of any other fans.
It was pretty cool to hear that from an opposing fan group.
