Live Thread: Knicks @ Cavs
2022-10-30Good evening CtB!
The Cavs welcome the New York Knicks to the shores of Lake Erie for a Sunday evening Eastern Conference showdown. Even though it’s only October, this is an important game for both teams if they wish to compete for a playoff berth. The Cavs can establish themselves as a top 2 team in the East with a win or the Knicks can get themselves a massive road win against a team above them in the standings. For the good teams, every game matters in the regular season.
The Cavs are still without Darius Garland (eye) and Dylan Windler (ankle), but both are doing individual workouts at last report. The Knicks are all healthy except for Quentin Grimes, the young shooter from the University of Houston. It appears that Jalen Brunson was a smart pickup for the Knicks, they’re playing solid two way basketball so far this season. The question for them is, what’s their ceiling? This is one of those games that can establish where they’re at. For the Cavs, it’s a gut check game. They just won a big road win against the Celtics, can they stay consistent and take care of business at home against an inferior opponent before a rematch with the Celtics Wednesday night? This is the kind of game a pretender will let go, but a real contender wins… one thing’s for sure, glad the Cavs have Donovan Mitchell to steer the ship!
Tip off is scheduled for 6:00PM Eastern time and will be broadcasted live on Bally Sports Ohio, Go Cavs!
James Dean Wade
Good god awful call.
Wade such a good role player.
JAMES DEAN WADE!!!!!!
Sweet look for Dean Wade!
Wad3!!!
Woof that call was shitty. I’m not even sure he touched him.
Mitchell tov and then mobley tov. Not ideal to start end of qtr.
Harty is so tough
That was not a good interior lob by mitchell lol.
ALL BALL REF OPEN UR EYES
ice.. hittn a FT
I am ok with mobley treys because he has a j/touch, maybe not so much with JA treys. Mitchell kind of set him up for it, but probably should have come out and reset.
Way toru, Ice! Love the aggression
Mamadi on the bench. First time?
Thi k so. He and Isaiah were just in charge camp.
Just caught up. Thanks for getting LT, Chris!
Yes Sir!!!
Cavs half court d great, but they’re getting burned in transition.
Knicks really pushing the pace this year too, one of the highest paced teams in the NBA right now IIRC
Quickly and Obi made to play this way.
1000%
Smart because I don’t think their half court o is all that great.
agreed.
Great d by caris on quickley.
yup, Caris has been excellent on the ball tonight!
2nd team looks better than the other night thus far
yeah they can hang tonight.
JA should have gone in for a dunk. Instead Okoro reverse layup airball.
yup, Ice should’ve stayed in the corner to space too…
CARIS TO LOVE
bad pass JA just shoot the ball…. left Ice in a bad position.
Knicks have a nicer team this year. Good thing we got Mitchell
yeah great point Charlie! LFMAOOO didn’t wanna give up junk for Mitchell LMFAOOOOO
Seriously would not be able to play for Thibs. How are dudes not telling him to shut the eff up.
There are certain types of grinders that loved it eg Jimmy buckets, Taj Gibson, Noah, etc.
OKORO LOOKS BETTER! more focused on defense tonight… under control looks good!
Rooting for him. Let’s go Ice. Play your game dude.
Yes! Ice working hard on defense and not forcing things.
JA BULLY BALL
Really wish we would have resigned Hartenstein after that stint with us. Such a good screener, dirty work guy.
BROOKLYN CONNECTION
WHAT A FINISH NETO!!!!!
Mobes can’t get a shot off.
Mobley needs some grip strength.
Weak call on neto.
NETO TO LOVE!!!!!!
THAT WAS ALL BALL!!!!!!!!!
Calm down Thibs, you’re about to have an effn stroke.
I was like is that a fan or…? Seriously dude has yelled himself hoarse..
I had the same thought at first… man I’d hate to be sitting next to that guy.
WHAT A TOUCH PASS BY MOBLEY! LOVE FINISH!
Mobley’s hook is usually a good bet to go in.
MOBLEY OUTLET CUT AND FINISH!
Knicks are 5-8 on 3.. if we clean up giving them open looks we should be fine.
Caris and Spida with 9 assists already, they are COOKING
K love making a difference
CARIS TO LOVE!!!!! LOVE CHARGE!!!!!
bench guys off to a lukewarm start, hopefully that gets Love going.
Good cut by love and pass by cedi
Been a little too heat checky and casual last three possessions. Knicks should be down more.
WADE CLEANING BOARDS, CEDI GREAT DEFENSE!
Man I love watching this team and Spida
lordy, lordy, lordy
Mitchell en fuego from trey to start the season and the game.
Holy moly Mitch!!!
OH MY GOD MITCHELL!!!!!!!
MY GOD WHAT A PASS MITCHELL WADE FINISH!

Caris’ length bothering Brunson all night so far.

Wade gave RJ the left hand, terrible defense
WOW DUNK THAT JA!
Mobley got hacked no call should’ve been and 1
refball bs that’s over the back!!!!
GREAT PASS CARIS GREAT RUN AND FINISH MOBLEY!

CARIS TO SPIDA
Cavs are top 5 in defensive rebound rate, that’s gonna be challenged tonight against Knicks ability to crash offensive boards.
I agree Go Cavs!
Let’s go Cavs!!!
Go Cavs!
