Knicks celeb super fan Ben Stiller had a social media meltdown watching the Knicks drop their fourth straight game aon Monday in an ugly 114-97 defeat at the hands of the Mavericks at Madison Square Garden
Stiller, whose ride-or-die fandom has been on full display during the Knicks’ recent playoff runs, seemed to speak for most Knicks fans during the game.
“What’s going on,” the “Zoolander” star wrote in a post on X.
He followed it up by posting, “f———————” a short while later.
“This is a team issue not a player issue,” Stiller continued in a third post during the Knicks game.
The New Yorker tried to remain in good spirits with his last post on the game writing, “Trying to stay positive.”
Fellow Knicks fans likely know Stiller’s pain after the team dropped its fourth consecutive game and suffered its ninth loss in its last 11 games since New Year’s Eve.
The Monday loss was by far the team’s worst of the season as the Knicks were booed off the court at halftime down by 28 points.
“I’m okay with the boos,” Knicks head coach Mike Brown told reporters after the game. “I mean, if we’re playing crapy…boo. If I was in the stands, I’d probably boo too. You pay [hard-earned] money to come to the game, and this is a form of entertainment for the fans, they know good basketball and they know bad basketball. And we didn’t play good basketball in the first half, so I’m okay with the boos.”
Brown took his team to task in earlier comments during his postgame press conference and even dropped an F-bomb at one point, which he paused and apologized for.
“Bottom line is we gotta lock in and do our job for 48 minutes. There was nothing to be said at halftime except do your job,” he said.
