New York Knicks fans are not happy.

Despite the team going up 3-2 in their second-round series against the Indiana Pacers, the Knicks are now knocked out of the playoffs.

The Pacers needed to win the final two games of the series to move on to face the Boston Celtics, which they ultimately did.

After seeing the Knicks lose in Game 7, fans dealt with their grief in a variety of ways.

Some took to Twitter to express their frustrations, while others took it a step further.

Bleacher Report shared a video of Paul Pierce stomping on a Jalen Brunson jersey, indicating how frustrated he was with him and the rest of the team in this game.

Brunson was the emotional and physical leader for this team throughout the playoffs, so it was a bit surprising to see him have an off night.

Of course, he did get injured during the game, which made it impossible for him to impact the team for the full contest.

Still, this injury doesn’t lessen the blow for fans like Pierce, who thought the Knicks were going to go on a deeper playoff run, perhaps to the NBA Finals.

After years of frustration and falling short, this seemed like a prime opportunity for the Knicks to make some noise.

They’ll have to go back to the drawing board in the offseason, hoping that they can make the necessary moves and signings to make a further run next season.

Of course, having the rest of their stars fully healthy should help, too.
