    NBA Fans Roasting Stephen A. Smith After Knicks' Game 7 Loss

    Several NBA fans couldn't help but mock Stephen A. Smith after the New York Knicks lost to the Indiana Pacers in their do-or-die Game 7.

    Smith is a diehard Knicks fan, and he has never been shy about showing his fandom. While he has also been critical of New York whenever they lose, he always seems to exaggerate his expectations on the team and what they are capable of doing.

    And so after the Knicks were blown out by the Pacers to book a ticket to the East Finals--largely in part due to their injury woes--many were quick to pile on Smith and troll him.

    Others were even blaming Stephen A. for the loss, with one saying he's a "bad juju."

    Another one laughed at the ESPN commentator, saying: "Stephen A Smith was so hype in beginning of the game and talking trash about pacers all series."

    "I need a welfare check on Stephen A. Smith asap," a commenter added.

    A fourth NBA viewer said, "If Stephen A. Smith says you’re winning, you’re doomed."

    It's already a bad day for Knicks fans after that heartbreaking loss, and unfortunately for Stephen A. Smith, his day is so much worse because of all the backlash he's getting.

    The Knicks now head to the offseason with plenty of questions about what they'll do next. They already have a solid group in place, but they will have to find a way to get healthy and make sure they can compete even if they were to be hit by the injury bug again.
