Cavs in 6
I said this before this series started and I keep saying this Rebounding a turnovers will be key to this series. I know we still turnt the ball over but that was after we were up by a lot of points. So we need to clean that up as for the rebounding aspect that is all effort and energy plus physicality. See with a team like the Knicks you have to hold your own on the glass because that's what they depend on a lot for their offense because they Randle and Barrett fire up a lot of bricks and they crash the boards for multiple opportunities. We all know you have to value the ball especially in the playoffs because every possession counts we can't have live ball turnovers because that gets them out in the open court for fast break opportunities. Those two things rebounding and turnovers are what the Knicks offense thrives on. I didn't know that the Knicks rank 3rd in the entire NBA in offense, rebounding and least amount of turnovers per game until I researched it before this series. They have home court advantage now so we need to go and get home court advantage back. Let's go Cavs!
even more disappointing nyk were able to get a split after last night showed without a doubt CLE has a canyon esque talent advantage…and it aint close…hoping we can have a strong showing in MSG bc there is no conceivable reason for the knicks to honestly push this series even 6 games after what we saw tonight…knicks played basically identical to g1…bc its who they are…we played as poor as we possibly could save Don of course, and it was a 2 point game with 15 seconds left… finish these scrubs quick, boys! they aint on your level #letemknow
Only allowing 39 points in the first half is mind blowing
The play of the night is DG trying to yam on Hartenstein… even Mitchell went 😮
Going to be hard for JB not to play LeVert a lot next game I mean he had 24 pts, 4 def reb, 3 ast, and +23 plus minus and also held Brunson to 1/9 shooting on defense…
Cavs in 4.
That looked like Championship form Cavaliers ⚔️ 🏀 🔥
Garland's missed poster dunk attempt let the Knicks know….."I'm Here Too"
It shocked the entire Cavs 🏀 fan base!
Huge night playing as we know
Garland LeVert stepped up , Mobley Allen more physical, j.b finally double teamed Brunson
JB out coached Tibs and the Cavs kicked the Knicks Ass up and down the floor! JB had the Cavs Locked In!
Our defense will win us this series
Great show guys, after garland (being our max player)had one assist, five turnovers and a donut in the 4th , I was concerned. I’ve been annoyed all year with the way he plays fourth quarter’s.. This epic playoff performance gives me hope for a stronger future 😂. If the NBA referees allow the Cavs to stay physical, we win. Cavs wore Brunson down big time! , seemed like hit the deck 10 times in the first half , physical was the winning game plan. We need to repeat performance in the physicality.
Knicks fan here. It was all too predictable to see all those steals in game 2. Every second game against an opponent in a short interval, we end up with a ton of TOs and struggle offensively. Our super predictable and static passing targets on the perimeter just get scouted out, and suddenly we lose our supposed advantage from being conservative with the ball. We're at or near the bottom of the league in cuts and assists, and just try to live on tough iso shots and second chance points. So take care of the boards, cover the passing lanes, and you'll be past us by game 5. Your podcast is pretty darn solid, keep up the good work.
