Is anyone surprised Dave Portnoy is over the moon over this Knicks loss?
The Barstool Sports founder — and Boston sports superfan — immediately took to social media on Saturday night after the Knicks’ disastrous Eastern Conference finals Game 6 defeat that ended their season, posting one of his signature “emergency press conference” videos to X.
“Bing Bong the Knicks are Dead,” he wrote in the caption with a crying laughing emoji.
He also donned the shirt — in Celtics green and white — with the same words in his video.
“I’m in the rare minority that thinks Knicks fans, you should celebrate when you beat the Celtics in the second round, you should celebrate like you won a championship when you win a regular season game — enjoy it,” Portnoy said. “The Knicks, like, haven’t won a championship since like the ’50s. There’s like nobody alive who has seen the Knicks win a championship.”

The Knicks, to be clear, last won an NBA championship in 1973, but that wasn’t getting in the way of Portnoy telling Knicks fans to celebrate in a clearly caustic tone.
“We all deserve a little joy, and Knicks fans don’t get it,” Portnoy added. “This is the best they’ve got.”
Then, Portnoy shared a fake Knicks banner that read: “We beat the injured Boston Celtics In 2nd Round.”
He added his own comment, saying: “Any Knicks fans wanna invite me to banner night next year?”
He even re-shared a Ben Stiller X post and trolled the actor at the end of the blowout.
Portnoy, amid his flurry of posts, then said, if he were a Knicks fan, that Game 1, which saw Tyrese Haliburton tie the game at the buzzer in the fourth quarter on an improbable bounce would keep him up at night.
“It’s like God hates the Knicks,” Portnoy concluded his post.
