Knicks in 6!!!!
The NYK will eliminate CLE no doubt about it. Prepare yourselves CLE fans because this is something that will happen.
Cavs have no wing depth it’s Donovan Mitchell or bust down the stretch of games
Idk how you can say he needs support when the dude took 30 fga and 16 3pa (more 3’s than the rest of the team) how do you expect anyone else to get going?
Thought the Knicks paid too much for him!!?? Y’all quite now
Cavs in 6
Cavs in 5
Cavs in 5 😤
Knicks will play much better offensively in this series, now just win three more. The series is flipped, let's win it
Donovan Mitchell another 1st round exit 🤔🤔🤔
Jalen Brunson waiving 🤣😂😂
I'm a Cavs fan, but I got to be real. I called this series Knicks in 6 because I have little-to-no confidence in JB Bickerstaff. He gets out-coached on a nightly basis…
The Cavs got no chance if everyone on the Knicks are playing at the level they are capable at playing at. The Knicks didn’t even play well during game 1.
He should’ve told Utah to take the picks and leave the players out of it lol. He would’ve had a whole supporting cast! Good luck though! Knicks in 3!😂🗽🏀💙🧡
2 things I noticed 1 the Knicks went at Cedi Osman a lot whoever he was guarding attacked him and scored most of those time. 2 Mitchell was good but he took a lot of bad shots especially in the 1st half he took a lot of hero ball shots early in the shot clock. Nobody else was able to get into any rhythm. There were quite a few possessions were they didn't run any offense it was just Mitchell going at the whole knicks team like he was trying to prove a point.
Mitchell sucks the air out of his own team.
Brunson was so clutch good for him!
Knicks are simply a much more talented team. 🤷🏾♂️
Honestly idk how Knicks fans are so confident because the cavs where giving u that game and u still let cavs back in that was worst offense for cavs and Allen and Mobley won't be that quiet on offense for whole series
Cavs will 100% win this series unless Mobley and levert keep having three and eight point games. They normally score about 15 apiece every game! and cavs still barely lost. That should tell youHow much the Cavs a will win by if their team playing just how they normally do not even if they played anything crazy
Josh hart with the knicks?
The Knicks are one of the deepest teams in the league because they didn't trade everyone to get one player.
Donovan put in 38 meaningless points.
wrexham and knicks are two teams ill always hope lose purely cos of the annoying hype
The Cavs have no scoring depth and their bench is atrocious. Good luck with the soul searching but they need a better supporting cast. When your offensive X-factor is LeVert, your team is screwed.
Cavs fan.
Knicks in 4. Cavs just aren't as good. Osman move to cover Brunson worked down stretch. But there is no depth for Cavs. Rubio has been slumping past few months. He needs to benched, try Danny Green. Love was let go..not much support from Dean wade. That move is coming back to bite cavs. With this rotation, for Cavs to win Mitchel has got to drop 50.
Knicks are true contenders for championship. They have best record in 2nd half. Can they break a 50 year drought? Definitely seem to have a superior team but it's the Knicks. They will get past cavs but somehow fund a way to fade away.
I think that the cavs need to find a second star for mitchell in the offseason. Dude played great tonight but clearly he needs help.
Danny Green is the key
It's pretty funny who would of thought missing 2 open layups could find a way to haunt u in this game
Donovan who?
Mitchell has never made his team mates better. Not sure why people think that's going to change now. He puts up big numbers that amount to nothing in terms of team playoff success.
Mavs crying rn
Not trying to hate on Donovan I think he is a great player but kinda hard for others to get going when he isn’t moving the ball around guys is kinda a ball hog
Can’t remember the last time I’ve seen a dominant post scoring point guard like Brunson..
The fact that Garland didn’t attempt a shot in the 2nd half is mind boggling
Still not worried cavs finna win the next two and take a series lead
Knicks in 4
Everywhere Donovan mitchel goes he is not a winner at the end of the day
When will ppl realize this about Donovan Mitchell. He’s not a good player. Yes he can score but he doesn’t make his team better. He doesn’t make anyone around him good. He doesn’t look to get his ppl in rhythm. It seems to be all about him VS the team and that’s why he will never be a winner. He’s no diff than dame and Westbrook. All dynamic players but they make no one around them good.
Knicks are now 4-1 this season against the Cavs
