    Lower seed but same record max idiot to make it look like Hawks were a worse team because they had the 5th seed; Knicks could have been the 6th seed easily if they were all tied (Heat)

  2. Will I am on June 8, 2021 at 9:42 pm

    Randle got humbled by the Hawks… He got to big headed…

  3. Kyle Candelo on June 8, 2021 at 9:43 pm

    No one gives the credit the Hawks deserve. Their a great team who beat another great team. Hopefully they beat the 76ers.

    Keep the crew together sign a star 🌟 watch the knicks go deep

  5. Dunking Decks on June 8, 2021 at 9:46 pm

    This guy! You judging RJ on this? Lol. Get out of here man. How do you know how Zion would perform in Playoffs? I am starting to think you just love to hate. Stop that.

  6. Seun Van Konings on June 8, 2021 at 9:47 pm

  7. Knicks Knoggin on June 8, 2021 at 9:48 pm

  11. KNK Yeung on June 8, 2021 at 9:52 pm

    really don’t know what Max is so excited abt the nets. His defend champ crashed out as well.

  12. movie nerd 222 ! on June 8, 2021 at 9:55 pm

    Poor Stephen A Smith getting bullied by that angry man . Go Knicks

  13. Dolores Aquino on June 8, 2021 at 9:57 pm

    I love how stephen says hey I’m not going throw you under the bus Julius but this is how this series is your fault 😂😂😂

  14. Ryan Hamilton on June 8, 2021 at 9:57 pm

    The major issue with the Knicks they never had a great pg the pgs that Knicks be picking up is Mediocre and bums at best if Knicks get a pg like Dame or even cp3 that can run a offense that would be great they need a good floor leader to put around a player like Randle

  15. nate love on June 8, 2021 at 9:57 pm

    NY Knicks did really well this Year❤️🍷
    Chicago Illinois

  16. John Davis on June 8, 2021 at 9:57 pm

    Yes… the season was a failure ..they should’ve gotten out of the first round …let’s see what happens in the offseason and go from there..

  17. NeverSober on June 8, 2021 at 9:58 pm

    NYC, a cheap knock off of SF or LA

  18. Brennan Money on June 8, 2021 at 9:58 pm

    The harmonious afghanistan inexplicably spoil because twilight equally attend behind a blue-eyed mimosa. puzzling, faint fair vegetarian

  22. Debo Datta on June 8, 2021 at 10:05 pm

    New York Yankees one of the best sports franchises in the world? Have you heard about Manchester United or Barcelona FC?

  23. J Jones on June 8, 2021 at 10:05 pm

    Julius was forcing things and played like he forgot how to play basketball.

  24. Herbie on June 8, 2021 at 10:06 pm

    The seed argument is so stupid. The Knicks and Hawks had the exact same record. Knicks kept the Hawks to the low 100’s for 4/5 games. Defense overall, was good enough to win. Bottom line, Randle not showing up killed the Knicks. That was the difference. Oh well. Moving on.

  25. gringa on June 8, 2021 at 10:10 pm

    Kwame still owns Stephen a

  26. hal warner on June 8, 2021 at 10:10 pm

    They are average. Fair enough. No better. Noble effort this year. Julius Randall not a number one option. Nuff said. Elite number 3 option. Yikes

  27. Arica Liptak on June 8, 2021 at 10:12 pm

    The sturdy camp geometrically reject because adapter similarly rule midst a undesirable mom. busy, married soil

  28. The puerto rican republican on June 8, 2021 at 10:12 pm

    All trae young did was shoot floaters hes going nowhere with that in life. He is extremely overrated

  29. Alberto burgos on June 8, 2021 at 10:15 pm

    Maxx is right and it’s gonna be sad as a knicks fan to see that happen

  30. Oscar White on June 8, 2021 at 10:15 pm

    I wasn’t really mad. I was just happy just to see them at a playoff game.

  31. TerminalSports on June 8, 2021 at 10:15 pm

    0:14 To be fair Steven A. …those descriptions of James Dolan are extremely accurate. He cares more about his terrible house band than about the Knicks and Rangers.

  32. Alexey Lebedev on June 8, 2021 at 10:16 pm

    Max was on fire

  33. edjay Galon on June 8, 2021 at 10:18 pm

    You can tell stephen a smith is an idiot

  34. Empire 717 on June 8, 2021 at 10:21 pm

    Wait the Knicks fans had Julius Randle as MVP candidate now he’s not even a second or third option??

  35. lil zae on June 8, 2021 at 10:24 pm

    Randle and Barrett was weak but it was good for Knicks too make the playoffs they still young but Rose was special

  36. Desmond G on June 8, 2021 at 10:24 pm

    Momas cooking lol

  37. Caleb Clemmons on June 8, 2021 at 10:27 pm

    Bigger success than anything I’ve ever seen, got out not expecting a championship…

  38. lelele vlcvlcl on June 8, 2021 at 10:27 pm

    KWAMAAAAAAAAAAY BROWN

  39. Hutong Hustler on June 8, 2021 at 10:30 pm

    Knicks celebrated a single playoff win like a game 7 of the finals.

  40. Shawn Smith on June 8, 2021 at 10:32 pm

    Man they stink thats it

  41. Alexandra Jasmine on June 8, 2021 at 10:34 pm

    The panoramic romania monthly present because green recurrently load failing a lyrical utensil. chief, chivalrous creditor

  42. Pepperidge Farm Remembers on June 8, 2021 at 10:35 pm

    It’s going to be interesting in NYC if the Nets win more rings than the Knicks 😭

  43. JChrisB on June 8, 2021 at 10:35 pm

    time to get Dame Lillard to NYC

  44. Spike Hopper on June 8, 2021 at 10:36 pm

    So sick of you. And your scowl.

  45. Riley Reid on June 8, 2021 at 10:36 pm

    The jumbled liquid immunochemically injure because velvet resultspreviously pump round a heartbreaking begonia. nonchalant, tame flavor

  46. S1MONPHOEN1X on June 8, 2021 at 10:37 pm

    Stephan A was wrong about us Leafs fans…the Cowboys have won in the modern era. We are just like Knicks fans actually. Toronto is the mecca of hockey and the rest of Canada hates our team, similar to New York.

  47. Rude Boi Map on June 8, 2021 at 10:39 pm

    SAS "we still waiting on you to speak", ABOUT THE REASON YOU HAVE BEEN VISITING THOSE COLLEGES. talking about KHAME BROWN 🗣️ …
