It's hard to blame the Thunder teenager for the reaction. After all, a lot of player has professed their love for MSG due to its atmosphere. The history of being the mecca of basketball exudes in the building.

However, we can't also stop Knicks fans from getting frustrated with the reaction. Josh Giddey just torched the Bockers, and the last thing they want to hear is for their opponent to rub it into them.

On a positive note, Knicks fans can call themselves lucky to witness one of the best rising stars in the league. Giddey actually broke a tie with Luka Doncic for the most triple-doubles by a teenager in NBA history, and the youngster has a chance to even surpass LeBron James' record of 11.
