    This is good, getting out the jitters while you’re up is way easier than getting them out when you’re down. Let’s put our foot on their necks in the 2nd

  2. Playoff Randle is going to mean something different after this playoffs, mark my words

  3. Vikingpride06

    Randle at 87 is stupid. He’s a 90 easily.

  4. hopoffmebruh

    I honestly don’t know how we’ll get around handling Allen and Mobley at the same time (pause). Mitch wasn’t looking too promising but then again it’s the first half of Game 1.

  5. Grandmaster-1090

    We gotta clean up the turnovers And get some ball movement

  6. baddumbtsss

    IQ needs to be aggressive, he’s passing up on shots he would normally take

  7. as soon as we put RJ back in, the momentum will shift back tot the cavs

  8. TreSeven

    Now that we have collectively calmed down a bit… good first quarter all around, Quick will settle in

  9. HugoStiglitz373

    If this series go long the Cavs starters are going to be gassed. Our bench is so much better and can easily make up the deficits when Mitchell sits

  10. TheAerial

    That’s a pretty good start!

    Lots of guys with Playoff Jitters, which isn’t to be unexpected given the roster, but despite that the Knicks have looked solid and are playing with a good pace.

    Guys will calm down a bit and find their groove. Big relief seeing Randle start off so well shooting the ball.

  11. Gildabeast4

    I enjoyed that 1st quarter. Would like 3 more like that please

  12. thedr0ughts

    Randle has the opportunity to cement himself in Knicks history as an all time great if he clutches this series.

  13. ImmortalMethod

    I love how Randle isn’t forcing it and letting the game come to him

  14. mutherfucker_jones

    Just IQ looks tight. Gotta get him going (which I have no doubt will happen).

  15. Bellerin22

    Rj seems so much more active on defense, just a lot more effort on that end

  16. WhoTookPlasticJesus

    Grimes been a menace on Spyda and the doubles on Garland are working. We fixed our atrocious rebounding and hopefully got all our turnovers out of our system

  17. CaptainJonesBones

    Lmao i didn’t expect them to pull up 2k stats

  18. Solid quarter. Randle and Brunson don’t look too rusty. Refs giving the Cavs soft fouls and getting Brunson into foul trouble isn’t encouraging. Everyone making good decisions with the ball. The only one that looked rough in the 1st quarter was IQ.

  19. larockhead1

    So garland and Mitch haven’t sat yet. Brunson and Randle have already sat. That seems bad for the Cavs

  20. top-knowledge

    * player scores

    Hubie: that’s X at his best!

  21. Loving this start from Randle, especially his first game back from injury

  22. IonHazzikostasIsGod

    I’m an outsider but beat their brains in for me

  23. Fresh-Soup213

    Yea Don’s gonna have to play 48 mins lol

  24. OBlastSRT4

    Notice how things are flowing without RJ.

  25. Odysseus_Lannister

    We got in form Julius today and I’m
    Fucking here for it

  26. Gunhucghc

    Whichever way this series goes we’re in the same exact situation the Clippers we’re right before they got Kawhi and PG
