Live Thread: Cavs @ Knicks
2023-01-24Whelp. The Cavs are ready to unleash the lethality of a fully operational Death Star. For the first time, maybe all year, the Cavs are healthy with Dean Wade healthy and Donovan Mitchell giving his sore groin a go.
For the Knicks, Mitchell Robinson is out, Cavs Killer Quickley is available, and Evan Fournier is out for “personal reasons” (probably revolving around the fact he sucks and is currently on one of the NBA’s worst contracts).
This is a must win for the Cavs who currently sit 5th in East with the Knicks nipping on their heels at 7th with a 25-23 record. It would be nice to build some momentum going into the all star break, and you can be sure that your friendly neighborhood Spidaman had this game marked on his calendar. Personally, I’m hoping for a show in front of Mitchell’s home town team.
Incredible effort Mobley!
DG FINGER ROLL AND 1!!!!!
Lol. Brunson took 4 steps to the basket before that Harty putback.
Hi! My name is Coach Bickerstaff! I cannot design a basic ooto play to save my life. Please keep giving me money!
PASS THE DAMN BALL TO MOBLEY DG MAKE THE SIMPLE PLAY
DG kinda ass tonight…
DM carrying! Not running an O, just iso city
good thing we’re top 10 at it!! LMFAO
Is Thibs challenging that?
Spida vision
SAVE US SPIDA!!!!
Randall got away with some nonsense
Agree
Gotta foul harder, Evan.
At some point, the over-reliance on Mitchell must be addressed.
Ice finishes!
DM3!! Starters going to have to carry, bench sucked ass
The bench that played made no sense
Mitchell hits a 3 and Thibs calls a time out.
Meanwhile Knicks can go on a 19-6 run after Cavs are up 8 to end the third .. with turnovers and bad shots and not one timeout was called
How many Wade minutes so far?
4:26 minutes
4 LMFAO
4
JA trying one handed passes out of bounds lMFAO
Gah. Come on, Allen.
Thibs knows all the Cavs’ weaknesses.
Unfortunately the Cavs don’t
Lol like mins management and 5 man roster construction?
… and Quickley can’t go left.
LMFAOOOOOO too complicated Nate!
And on cue!
Need stops
News flash Barrett can’t go right.
JB obviously willing to eat the loss to get Rubio going, is what it is
Garland missing layups
Not composed.
Did we trade Cedi?
Trust issues.
Heh.
Why is Kev in? He’s useless. Harty Killin the Cavs.
Don’t they know he is a good defender?
Levert/Ricky/Love minutes disastrous.
Had a 6 point lead now down by 10!
8 point lead
Ooof!!!
Time to get rolling Cavs.
So…. Love?!? Not sure he should be in the rotation honestly
Neto should be getting rubios minutes tonight…at least we’d get some defense and probably less turnovers
19-6 run to close the quarter for Knicks 🤦♂️
Horrible close by the Cavs
Gotta run him off the line there Ev
Ricky doesn’t have it tonight.
yup
Mobley stinking it up something fierce too.
Harty Ballin tonight.
GREAT HUSTLE CARIS!
Knicks shooting 14-24 from three LMFAOOOO
Gee heard that before ?
This horrible defense on 3’s will be the death of us when our offense goes in a lul.
2 shot clock violations
Crummy couple of minutes
16-4 run after we went up 8 points…
Shot clock awareness is rarely lacking, what’s up Cavs?
IF YOURE NOT GOING TO LET LOVE TOUCH THE BALL ON OFFENSE WHY IS HE OUT THERE??????????
Ricky still rusty
Rubio and Love out there looking old and slow
WHAT A PASS CARIS DUNK THAT JA
Rubio with the cool head.
WHAT THE HELL IS IS THAT DEFENSE????
Too cute with the ball.
Why the constant doubles?! Leaves guys all alone on the 3 line
THIBS HEART ATTACK TIMEOUT
JA GARBAGE DUTY
Ja putback!
Good quarter!
JA man among boys !!
Okoro and Brunson have the same hair.
Spida heating up
Great hustle ice.
DM3!!!
When these kids play the right way it’s the right way
That was absolutely stunning. DM to JA to DG.
JA what a pass
Nice d!
Ice trey!
Better last six minutes. Lots of lineups to juggle now.
So many guys playing tonight! My JB theories in disarray…
In the second half more Neto and less Llama!
Much better D second quarter and finally got sone offense in there as well, still some puzzling lineups by JB
Good close to that ugly start of the quarter.
