Knick's Fans

occasionalrain — Sat, 13 Jun 2026 15:26:26 GMT

I'm glad I'm not a New Yorker. Their behavior after the game was beyond shameful, it was criminal. If that's how they respond to winning, I can only imagine if they lost, and I will celebrate everytime they lose,

I just pray that our Spurs fans do not retaliate.

GO NEW YORK GO NEW YORK GO!!

It was a small number, relatively, and the NYPD responded appropriately. Of course, offenders should be dealt with.

Such behavior would never, ever, ever occur elsewhere.

Not a surprising comment from the instigating source.

I am a very, very happy New Yorker!

GO NEW YORK! GO NEW YORK GO! GO NEW YORK GO NEW YORK GO! GO NEW YORK GO NEW YORK GO!

And massive kudos to our NYPD!

I am a Knicks fan and I resent the insult.

@occasionalrain You have got to be kidding. Anytime I see the end of a big game on the news, anywhere, this has been happening. It is terrible but unfortunately this is what is happening in our society. I will not go into detail because it will become political. There are a lot of bad actors out there pretty much everywhere.

You must not watch sports because there are, unfortunately, poorly behaved fans in every city. They are a small minority.

@They CallMe MRWILKES Thanks for a great reply. Was at the last game and it was amazing.

Yes, @stevieb

Seems bad behavior only occurs in NYC to some.

Unfortunately, this happened and was dealt with. Sadly, it happens after many sporting events and other activities in the world. I certainly don't wish the team to lose because of the actions of a few fans. If that were the case, I wouldn't have a team to support. @They CallMe MRWILKES I must admit I am rooting for New York as well. I will be watching the game!!

Oh so now we're saying all New Yorkers are dangerous and criminals? As a New Yorker I can think of a lot of ways I can lump all Texans together - and it wouldn't be flattering. Glad youre not a New Yorker as well!

It's also pretty rich that you're rooting for a team whose players are dirty, one of whom came near assaulting Jalen Brunson. GO KNICKS, GO!!!

GO NEW YORK GO!

GO KNICKS!

@occasionalrain It will be hard, but we will try to live with your disdain.

GO NEW YORK! GO NEW YORK GO!

Also pleased that they are not a New Yorker.

Don't have to sit next to them on the subway or jury duty.

@occasionalrain Oh Please!

Every single city with a Finals game of any sport has had similar very unfortunate, ugly incidents.

You are generalizing Knicks Fans and NYC in a ridiculous manner. Do you post this sentiment for every other incident in other cities when this happens? It's awful.

But it's in the extreme small number, considering all the other watch parties and thousands of groups around the entire five boroughs, including Manhattan, truly enjoying the celebrations in a joyous way.

My son and the doctors he works with have been to every watch party in NYC this playoff season. Not one incident at the various places they've been.

But of course, paint the entire city with your brushstroke.

As long as I've been on this forum, comments like this never cease to amaze me. All the NYC experts who live nowhere near here and have probably never even visited. Or the one from last week who hasn't lived here in decades but knows everything going on.

You know what you don't see here, those of us from NYC casting aspersions on all the insane crimes going on in other cities all the time. I could name them, but I won't for the sake of decency.

GO NEW YORK! GO NEW YORK GO!

One can only inagine in what gated community with armed security this isolated, removed person resides. Broad brush strokes indeed!

I have never seen a New Yorker denounce and belittle other cities here!

And of course their 'alien' elbowing other players and shoving them to the floor is exemplary behavior, especially the latter incident, which was never called by the referees and should have been.

Not to mention taunting a player who has been very upfront about his mental health with "I'm in your head" multiple times. Very classy.

100% agree. And you know why? Because we live in the greatest city in the world (thanks Hamilton) and don't have the time to think about other cities, no less disparage.
