A Comprehensive Guide For Knicks Fans To Hate Everything About The Atlanta Hawks
The Hawks have always just been one of those whatever teams to me. Never had a feeling either way. They weren't ever going to compete for a title and they were never annoying for the Knicks. They had good players and decent teams, but they just were there. Well, now it's time to hate them. I'm ready to lead this charge as someone who has screamed over and over again that sports are better with a little hate and animosity involved. So let's get into it player by player, reason by reason.
- Trae Young

I've always liked Trae Young, thought he got a bad rap out of Oklahoma and even still gets one. Now let me say this, FUCK TRAE YOUNG. Say it with your chest, it'll feel good. The man is going to be a menace and we need Frankie Smokes to be unleashed here. Throw every single look on this guy. He's going to find his way to jack up shots from 35 out. He's going to get to the line. Remember, people complained about his officiating before.
He's going to get under our skin whether we like him as a player or not.
- We drafted Danilo Gallinari 6th overall
Gallinari had a fine NBA career, but in standard pre-Leon Rose Knicks look at this draft:
One spot too low to land Kevin Love, but at least it wasn't Joe Alexander. But for this series, once a Knick, always a Knick isn't true. I might just not eat Italian food until we beat the Hawks.

-De'Andre Hunter ruined everyone's March … twice
I don't know about everyone, but he basically did. In 2018 he was hurt and missed the game against UMBC. Guess what happened? The first ever 16 over a 1, I'm guessing that ruined every Virginia fan's March. Then the following year he was healthy and guess what?
People don't forget, De'Andre!
Bogdan Bogdanovic should be on the Bucks
It was reported that Bogdanovic was traded to the Bucks this offseason. Well, slight problem. Bogdanovic never agreed to the sign-and-trade and someone jumped the gun. Guess what happened? He ended up in Atlanta. Time to hate him. I swear if Bogdanovic hits a game-winner this series you won't hear the end of it from me. I will complain so loud and so much.
The Hawks got rid of their awesome jerseys
Remember these?

Of course Big T is a Hawks fan. Big T of course standing for Big Tennessee. A guy who tried telling me to be scared of Rick Barnes. RICK BARNES! Adorable.
Lou Will's wings aren't even that good
Remember Lemon Pepper Lou. He almost missed the bubble and ruined the NBA bubble last year because he just had to get some of his wings at Magic City. Well, until this series ends I will go on record saying those things stink. Lemon Pepper? Won't have any of it. Buffalo only until the Knicks win.
Cam Reddish?
Simple. Fuck Duke.
Finally - they aren't the Knicks
This is the most fun I've had watching the NBA since 1994. Not even joking. The 2 seed year was fun, but nothing like this. Coming out of nowhere, Julius Randle and the rest of the Kentucky guys leading the way. RJ Barrett making the jump. It's impossible not to cheer for this team. So join me and follow me in hating the Hawks. Let me know any other reason I forgot.
