Yes, the Knicks snagged a game on the road and took home court in their first round series, but there was a lot of meat on the bone to get better in Game 2 and beyond. Alex and Gavin get into some things the Knicks could do better, including getting RJ Barrett, Immanuel Quickley, and Quentin Grimes going, sticking to Donovan Mitchell more on switches, staying physical with Evan Mobley, generating switches for Jalen Brunson, and much more!

THE SERIES IS OVER, THE KNICKS ARE JUST BETTER PERIOD. OF COURSE, THE CAVS WILL NOT LAY DOWN, THEY WILL RESIST, AND MAY EVEN WIN A GAME OR TWO BUT IN THE END THEY WILL BE OVERPOWERED, THE KNICKS WIN & I'M BEING OBJECTIVE. I'M NOT DECEIVED BY STATS, I DON'T FOLLOW THE MEDIA TRENDS & NARRATIVES, IT'S WHAT I HAVE BEEN SEEING W/ MY EYES, THUS FAR 5-1 KNICKS. IT'S A SIMPLE CASE OF THE KNICKS HAVING THEIR NUMBER. QUITE FRANKLY I ALWAYS FELT THE KNICKS WERE A BETTER TEAM BEFORE THE SEASON BEGAN & EVEN WHEN THE MEDIA GOT DRUNK WITH THE FRESHLY MINTED ACQUISITION OF ONE DONOVAN MITCHELL. WHEN PEOPLE THINK SPLASH, I THINK SUBSTANCE. THE KNICKS ARE A BETTER TEAM W/O SPYDA, I'VE ALWAYS SAID THAT & I HAVE NEVER WAVERED, WHAT I AM AGAINST IS FORCING A SQUARE INTO A ROUND HOLE JUST TO SEE A DOG & PONY SHOW, A FREAK SHOW OF ESPN HIGHLIGHT REELS GOING NOWHERE FAST. 🤔♟THIS SERIES IS OVER, THE KNICKS WIN, THE QUESTION IS, WHEN?
I think we have a very deep team, so RJ can kind of disappear, and we can still win. However, one guy who really needs his 3pt shot to fall to be successful is Randle. When he hits his 3s, he scores in other ways, he rebounds, he plays defense… but when his shot isn't falling, he gets frustrated and starts arguing with officials and slacks off in general. So, for him it's super-important. And I think you guys get ahead of yourself talking about our "next opponent". We simply took away their homecourt advantage, 1 game doesn't win a series. Our strength is interior defense and Cavs interior defense is as good as it gets in the NBA. Their 3pt shot wasn't falling for their wings and it allowed us to double team in the paint effectively. If Okoru or Osman or LaVert start making their 3s, our defensive scheme will collapse. They key to our success, in game 2, would be 3pt shooting and attacking the rim. If we can get Mobley or Allen in foul trouble, it will really help unclog the paint for us.
Don goes for 50 Cleveland wins in 6.
One of two ways. Either contain Mitchell and garland and let someone else beat you, or let Mitchell go off and make everyone else’s life a living hell. The latter of the two seemed to work in game 1, but if Josh hart is ailing, we might need to look into the former
I think when RJ, Quickly, And Grimes it going, with. Randle and Brunsan then we'll win the series. We need at least five or six players in double figures to win . Any combination would win the series.
