  1. CapSRogers

    Jalen “1A” Brunson just outplayed Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard on national TV. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays, Knicks fans!!

  2. So let this be a reminder to all y’all:

    THIS TEAM CAN HANG WITH ANYONE, ANY NIGHT!

    MISS ME WITH THE NEGATIVITY.

    THESE GUYS BRING IT EVERY NIGHT SO YOU CAN AT LEAST ROOT FOR THESE GUYS UNTIL THE VERY END.

    MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

  3. TriviaWhiz

    Merry Knicksmas to all, and to all a good night!

    Key play for me was IQ’s drawn charge on Portis when Milwaukee got it to 77-73 in the 3rd. Brunson got an and-one soon after to end the run.

    Also, today marked the first time all season that the Knicks won a game while shooting under 33% from three.

  4. Aaaaaaandyy

    ![gif](giphy|Wa904jKXSoPO8hiKA5)

    Merry Christmas motherfuckers

  5. zOmgFishes

    This is the team at it’s peak potential. 20+ points from 4 players and contributions from everyone.

  6. Leegend124

    I would celebrate but I’m hesitant because Brunson’s too short apparently

  7. i-piss-excellence32

    Great home win. Our mid 3 had a great game, the 6th man of the year from last season had a great game. IHart is playing like wilt.

    Love this team

  8. HardOakleyFoul

    Jalen Brunson is quite literally a point God.

    Finally we beat Milwaukee. feels like it’s been a decade since that happened.

  9. ThisPlatformIsDogPoo

    Needed this Christmas W!!! Merry Knicksmas you crazy fucks!!

  10. dazindannyyy

    WHERE WOULD WE BE WITHOUT JALEN “HE’S TOO SMALL” BRUNSON?

    Randle and IQ with solid performances too and RJB’s insane 1Q put us ahead early.

    It’s like 3:30am where I’m at but I’m too excited to go to damn bed. Merry fuckin Christmas y’all

  11. KenPiffyJr

    what a win Merry fucking Christmas ya filthy fuggin animals

  12. howdy_goy

    Look what happens when the Bucs shoot 3s at an average clip

  13. Gildabeast4

    If we were only going to beat the bucks once this season I’m happy it was the Christmas game. Merry Knickmas everybody

  14. dorknewyork

    God this win feels way better than usual, I fucking love it. Merry Christmas motherfuckers!

  15. Living_Internet_2970

    Everyone paying homage to 50 cent after the game

    ❤️

  16. PanthalassaRo

    A minuscule dude was the biggest player on Christmas who would have thought uh?

  17. LionBearWolf3

    MERRRRRRY KNICKSMAS FROM OUR SHORT KING! JALEN brunsHIM!

  18. DabZonTwitch

    Merry Knicksmas to all! 20 pieces for everybody. Great win

  19. Shout out to the haters saying we would go winless in December

    Shout out to the guys saying we can’t beat good teams and this is without Mitch

    Shout out the the Rj haters for getting upset on a play that should have been a block and starting the game with aggression

    Shout out to Randle playing defense on Greek no bag freak

    Brunson burner!!!!!!!!!!!! Fuck you Becky with no good hair hamstupid

    Let’s get the next game yall

  20. MAGICPOWDERcomic

    Gotta love beating the Bucks on Christmas. Brunson giving his dog a shout out is hilarious.

    Hopefully it’s a good day for all NY sports.

  21. RBNYJRWBYFan

    *Finally* beat the Bucks! Why thank you Knickerbockers, *it’s just what we all wanted!*

    Merry Christmas, Knick Nation! May your Brunson Burners burn bright!

  22. Odysseus_Lannister

    If hart and RJ (from the first half) play like this regularly, we can beat anyone on any night. When they and quick disappear, it’s too much for Randle and Brunshim to deal with when playing top teams.

    Merry Christmas you filthy animals.

    Fuck all you doomers.

  23. mattr1198

    Win of the year, without question! Everyone came alive today and delivered a Merry Knicksmas 🙂

  24. Herakuraisuto

    I had to fight the mongos in my family for the remote control to watch the end of this game instead of that weak-ass Chiefs game. I hate the NFL and their Taylor Swift nonsense.

    Brunson has proven once again he’s elite.

  25. laursen_111

    BRUNSON ALL STAR STARTER (plz vote today votes count triple)

    BRUNSON FOR ALL NBA FIRST TEAM

    HE IS SHOOTING 46% FROM THREE ON THE SEASON (and most of those are off the dribble and self created which is just ridiculous)

  26. Witty-username91

    I know the media is gonna downplay this somehow but who cares we got a W on Xmas boys!!!!!

  27. ucannotbeserious

    Our too small star just outdueled Lillard on Christmas in front of the entire country.

    Respectfully, eat it, Becky.

  28. asapfetty

    Notice what happens when the Bucks don’t shoot 50% from 3

  29. FtheRedSox

    Don’t forget to vote Brunson today boys

  30. deuce_and_a_quarter

    Knicks win against the Bucks only means one thing…. that the Giants gonna beat the Eagles later today!!

  31. TriviaWhiz

    Julius Randle was shooting 67% from the line through the first 14 games.

    In his last 15 games, he is shooting 89% from the line.

  32. beanie_mac

    Amazing team win. Everyone contributed.

    Brunson is him.

  33. NoScopeMusical

    – You think they’re tired of losing to Milwaukee or what? Great Christmas win!
    – The Knicks wanted it way more than the Bucks, and it showed on both ends.
    – Jalen Brunson (38-4-6) was spectacular. The burner could not be put out tonight. Too small, my ass. He’s the best player on the floor. All-star, All-NBA.
    – Orange Julius, Star-J, IQ, and the Hart Foundation were all great.
    – The Thunder in midweek will be tough, but they’re ready. Bring it!

  34. Hemispheres33

    Great win pretty much everyone showed up and contributed. JB is a fucking problem.
