Live Thread: Cavs @ Knicks (#Gardening)
2021-01-29Greetings from the future Cavs fans! Well, not really… even though technically it’s early Saturday morning for me. But, what better way to kick off the weekend than with a little light Gardening?
Time to tune in to check out the Cavs’ first visit to Madison Square Garden as they themselves kick off a quick weekend roadie that will include a stop in Minnesota as well. The wine & gold got back to their roots of winning on Wednesday after a couple of disappointing losses (a blowout in Boston and a missed opportunity against the defending champs), by weeding out the Pistons 122-107. Now, they look to plant the seeds of a streak with the first of three winnable games before facing their month-long February gauntlet of challenging contests.
It sounds like they’ll be at near full-strength to handle Julius Randle and the Knicks tonight, as Larry Nance, Jr. is expected back… meaning the Cavs are only down Kevin Love and Matthew Dellavedova. Let’s hope his presence along with some stellar defense and dynamic offense from Young Bull helps these entertaining Cavs continue to grow and flourish.
Check out all the action (wherever you are in the world) starting at 7:30 EST… Li-li-li-li-Live from the Garden! (or if you can’t Call Ticketron…) catch it on Fox Sports Ohio. And, as always, chime in below!
GO CAVS!
ZONE DEFENSE CONFOUNDING KNICKS!!!!
SEXTON SNIPER!!!
WINDLER FOR THREE!!!
WINDL3R!
Need to get windler free on perimeter. Need to run some screens for him to catch and shoot.
Asked and answered
Damn… bad luck Ice… that one shoulda gone down
Great give and go with Windler…
That Obi Toppin shot… yikes
Knicks’ bench far outplayed ours.. really surprising, that’s where our advantage is primarily.
Rough shooting early…
Good d on both sides.
Quickly is a problem for us
Been a problem for everyone…
He’s by far their best draft pick!!! LMFAOOO
Quickley is a ridiculous scorer so far.
Not against anyone but us. Cavs killer. One of those guys.
Um… he dropped 31 on Portland the other night
37% fg on the season. 35 on threes.
You are the king of sample sizes lol… and I don’t think Quickley even played against the Cavs the first time…
Lol, kind of yeah.
I try not to overreact. Doesn’t always work.
nah man, one of the best rookies in the NBA so far and Thibedeaux was stupid for not starting him day 1.
Nerlens breathes and picks up fouls…
We could use some more off ball action tonight. Knicks stingy in the paint
Pretty quick on closeouts too.
Sexton mugged twice… no call
Need more shots for Sexton also…
this is a brick fest so far LMFAOOOOOOOOOO
JUST CATCHING A QUICK BREAK—SORRY CAN’T BE WITH YOU GUYS TONIGHT —–5 GRANDKIDS –PLENTY OF PIZZA AND WITHOUT A DOUBT…….”MORE BEER PLEASE “—-BRING HOME A ‘W” GUYS …….WISH ME LUCK !!!!
Good luck NOMAD!

Need to leverage windler coming off screens to free up the paint. DG great pass and Allen with rare missed bunny
Gotta put that down Jarrett…
OH MY GOD GREAT PASS SEXTON, Allen missed the freaking dunk lMFAO
Gimme some Windl3r threes please!
Have to get him open first.
Knicks d good. Tough for the guards to get all the way to score. Great pass by dg to allen
DG CAN PASS THO!!!!
DG to JA oop perfection
DG missed Allen on the roll, 4 point swing…
now DG bricks a midranger… DG is not playing well offensively…. he can’t score
Knicks are playing some good d. Not many driving lanes open. At rim they are collapsing as well.
Wow… that was like five shots that possession…
But, it wasn’t a dunk… it should have been… but he just flipped it up there lol
Another great contest by dre in transition
Garland please shoot a 3 challenge.
Dre just doesn’t like dunking the ball or something…
gentle giant LMFAOOOOO
LMFAOOOO CEDI lost the ball but Dre got it and flushed it!
Lucky almost tov for dre dunk
Awesome pass by Dre… LNJ just rusty
Drum draws second foul on Mitchell
They’re double teaming Dre in the post, PASS THE DAMN BALL DRE!!!
and hilariously dumb of Thibedeaux!!!!
Great defensive sequence ending with a dreblock and clock violation
CEDI AT THE 2 GUARD!!! I love it!!!
That’s some great D!
DG with two steal already…. his defense is underrated!!!!!
Cavs causing havoc in passing lanes. Wonder how many times I will type that this season. Should just have it permanently on the clipboard.
Kind of unbelievable how many tipped balls Cavs get…
LNJ and Drummond two of the best in the game at that…
WHAT A STEAL DG!!!!!!!!! COAST TO COAST!!!!!
Cavs running and gunning early!
Prince so confident from trey right now
Shooting like 50% from deep since joining Cavs… crazy!
Young Bull mid-range money…
SEXTON DEADLY!
PRINCE OFF THE DRIBBLE!!!!!
PRINC3!
Great pass by DG. Just missed by Prince. Dre with the foul on the second oboard
Pass it out Dre…

GREAT PASS DG!!! DRE GOOD OFFENSE!
Although Prince has made a good argument to be starting honestly…
Yup he’s earned it IMO
Prince is in, good to see
Yikes… two quick ones on Ice…
Knicks actually pretty good on d.

Can only hope he doesn’t force the points issue, though obviously he torched them last time.
Of course 7 points isn’t much.

Nance is in??? LET’S GO!!!!!!!
This is a game the cavs need to put best effort forward. Winnable as are the next two against minny. After that schedule becomes pretty brutal.
No excuses in this game, especially if Nance is back.
holy crap i love that photo LMFAOOOO literally last time i was in NYC was pre-covid late February walked right past it on our way to JC.
