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!
DONOVAN HESI RAGE TO
Cedi is fine, but needs to catch and shoot and not just heave it up there
Cedi with the D!!
Maybe all the lefties throwing Cavs for a loop
We are giving them too much open looks on 3’s and offensive rebounds…
Lol. Disaster Cam! Nice D, Cedi!
Cedi cooled off.
So much for that defensive identity
Cavs way too three happy.
wtf are the Cavs doing? Mobley was wide open and Cedi shoots a desperation 3.
Harkenstein is a pest and a dweeb!
What us this d?
it was literally “guard no one” zone LMFAO
Roll with the dinosaur bucket
So strong Rolo!
CMON JA YOU GETTING PUNKED BY HARD ROCK
We need Rolo.
Is it possible to run a play that gets a high quality shot in/near the paint? This Knick D not that great. Just asking
Jimmy Dean!
46 points in the paint for Knicks.. 18 for Cavs.. not good
Dean Wade to the rescue
jinx
JAMES DEAN WADE TO THE RESCUE!!!
Dean Wade is money tonight!
JA GOTTA BE STRONG WITH THE BALL
Wade with the touch!
Think this season is gonnna be awesome for him!!
Hard Rock revenge game
There’s a lid on the rim!
holy shit Cavs just missed 3 great looks LMFAO
Should be a flagrant
LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOO
If you win a challenge, should you get to keep challenging until you lose one?
Good challenge. Randle should get a T and maybe ejection for that.
Nah. I don’t think anything but a typical offensive off arm foul.
Seems to me not a basketball move — just smacking him the face because I’m mad.
Back from the woods, LETS GO CAVS!
Challenge that. Off arm offensive foul
Jimmy Dean Wade.
Flagrant?
WAKE YOUR ASSES UP REFS WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU LOOKING AT???????
That’s a flagrant on Randall!
JAMES DEAN WADE
BEAUTIFUL TWO MAN MITCHELL AND MOBLEY!
Checking in. This sequence not good. Brunson looks as good as I remember.
Ugh another tov leads to transition points for ny.
THANK GOD FOR MITCHELL
Knicks in transition constantly, Cavs aren’t bringing it at all defensively.
And turning it over way too much since about 3 minutes left in the second qtr.
12-1 run in the last 3.5 minutes
Woof Donovan two straight laaaazy plays.
knicks with some nice surgical passing and penetration.. cavs need to do the same
Kinda lazy game here by Cleveland defensively.
Yep, maybe feeling themselves too much after celtics win.
Lacking focus
26-17 run since we were up 48-41.. Knicks been playing a lot better for the 2nd half of the game so far.
Killing cavs in transition
Great pass by mobes and cut by ja
Could someone let Clyde Frazier know that while Cleveland and Dayton are both in Ohio, they are not that close? 200+ miles, 3 hr drive. Thanks
and Wally Szerbiak in studio for NYK halftime show, wearing a blazer that is a bit too tight.
Shannon sharpeing it. It’s always weird seeing jacked dudes/athletes wearing suits so tight/small that look like they will rip at the slightest movement.
I think it looks good. If I had a physique like that, I’d want to show it off too lol
Fair enough. Just seems like they are wearing too small of suits on purpose which looks weird to me.
Knicks also outboarding cavs 26-22 with difference being 7 o boards to 3.
LOOKS LIKE “HARD ROCK” WITH SOME POSITIVE MIN’S—–MAN WISH WE COULD HAVE KEPT HIM—-HE DIDN’T REALLY “BLOSSOM ” UNTIL HE GOT PT WITH THE CAVS
Same. Winning player.
THINK IT IS TIME TO GIVE STEVENS OR 3-AKITE SOME RUN OVER ICE
Might want to step it up defensively in the paint next half fellas.
That was an awful last possession by the Cavs in terms of clock management. The Cavs should be up more. They’ve been sloppy.
Feels like maybe they think they can just outscore the knicks or just turn it on in the second half a la celtics game.
A hint of foul trouble for Mobley. Need to turn it up on D for the second half.
good stop, but defense is kind of stinky tonight, they’re just so good on offense they’re coasting.
Thibs coaching: Go! Go! Go!… Jesus F’ing Christ!
LMFAOOOOO yup
Some not great tovs down the stretch by the guards.
Bad turnovers by Mitchell and Caris there, chill out guys run the offense
TOO MUCH HALLOWEEN…….” MORE BEER PLEASE “—–THOUGHT FOR SOME REASON IT WAS A 7:30 START —–BOX SCORE INDICATES WADE / SPIDA/ KLOVE HAVING GOOD GAME—-ICE REMAINS IN ” ICELAND “
Tough half for LeVert
Some sloppy plays the last couple of possessions
Mitchell hangtime.
Thibs “GO GO!” Lol
I want to strangle him
DM just so good
Incredible hesitation move and one handed reverse scoop finish by donovan
Mitchell’s a cannonball.
DONOVAN MITCHELL WHAT A FINISH AND 1
He gets to the hoop so fast!
