The New York Knicks delivered a resounding 39-point victory over the Philadelphia 76ers in Game 1 of their Eastern Conference Semifinals series. This dominant performance on Monday sparked significant excitement among Knicks fans outside Madison Square Garden.
NBA player Draymond Green weighed in on the fan reaction via his podcast, advising Knicks supporters to temper their enthusiasm.

He also suggested that the current Knicks players do not share the same deep emotional connection to the team's historical struggles as the fanbase.
