After failing to make the playoffs for the fourth straight year, the only thing Knicks fans are looking forward to is the draft lottery. The Knicks actually have their pick this year and since they were near the bottom of the league, New York will likely have a high pick. But the Knicks would've had a better shot at landing a higher pick if they didn't beat the Sixers 114-113 on Wednesday.
By beating the Sixers to improve their record to a less than stellar 31-51, New York's pick could fall anywhere from sixth to tenth:
Knicks win. They are tied with Minnesota for 6th seed. Drawing Tuesday. Knicks could fall to 7th seed and even pick 10th in draft.

Well aware of their team hurting their draft odds by winning, Knicks fans took to Twitter to complain that New York won a game. That's right. Knicks fans were complaining about their team winning:

You never know, the Knicks could end up getting a very high pick. But by beating the Sixers, the Knicks didn't do themselves any favors as their fans have made crystal clear.
