Live Thread: Knicks at Cavs
2020-02-03The Knicks are in town looking to extend their one game win streak against the Cavs. New York pulled off an upset against the Pacers on Saturday.
The Cavs are coming off a terrible showing against the Warriors where they somehow forgot how to play basketball and lost by 19.
Kevin Porter Jr. had a solid outing though and put up 19. Kevin Love had 14 points and 11 boards, while Colin Sexton posted his fourth straight game with at least 23 points. Nonetheless, the Warriors cruised to an easy victory hitting 18 3s and getting 39 assists.
At a certain point in the season, the stats of individual players stop mattering. The Cavs may have hit that point, so let’s hope they can grab a win tonight and get one of the stats that leads to a Championship. Or, in this case reminds a fan base they are really a professional team in the NBA.
Up 10 with 5 min left and barely hung on for OT. The glass hurt us tonight. Still, some semi-encouraging signs. Love with, what, 33/13/6? LNJ with a nice game. Sexy with 29 & 7 dimes. Only Cedi with the TO bug.
D & coaching leave a lot to be desired. Good for the ping pong balls. Dubs won again. Looks like we are the worst team in the league at the moment.
What happened to the Fonz? 10 day expire and we haven’t signed him rest of season?
What I think is happening is that the Cavs are leaving two roster spots open to help other teams make imbalanced trades for small assets. For example, if Boston wanted to trade three small salaries to Houston for Capela, Houston wouldn’t have the roster spots to do 3 for 1 without releasing 2 of their own players first, which would mean they’d have to pay the remainder of their salaries also. So instead, they could potentially include the Cavs in a three team trade where we take on some of the extra players and receive a pick or two for… Read more »
Another good man done gone…smh.
Couldn’t watch. How much was bad d versus Knicks being hot?
Bad D. Morris hits some shots down the stretch, but both teams were scoring easily until Cavs didn’t (Knicks finally decided to play some D).
WILL WATCH REPLAY TOMORROW MORNING —THANKS GUYS FOR AN ENJOYABLE EVENING —-WILL BE CURIOUS WHAT THE TRADE DEADLINE BRINGS THE NEXT 2 DAYS ——–IF KLOVE IS TRADED HE LEFT WITH A MEMORABLE PERFORMANCE
God this Cavs team is utterly depressing

The Cavs also continue to play these close games with their young guards hopefully learning what to do and not do. Garland didn’t need to hoist that so soon. Maybe Beilein learns to change matchups when a guy is getting torched. Morris obviously was playing for a trade deadline escape from NYK exile–Nance would have been a better face guard, maybe.
DOES KOBY GET SOME CALLS FOR LOVE AFTER KEVS PERFORMANCE TONIGHT —I THINK SO
I wish Love got some call ON the court. Why did the refs decide he isn’t worth the whistle?
Well, that was entertaining at least… glad to see some fight, keep TT on the bench and give Zizic the 4th big minutes. At least the offense will go better I think.
Garlands feet on the line anyway
Beilein has had some real coaching brain farts tonight.
Cedi was expecting him to go left. Would’ve put Nance n him or gone big and then offenae/defense subs.
I really dislike this Knicks team.
WOW… not enough ball movement.
Nice, Cedi go back at him.
They keep picking at Cedi.
Lol. Now they call a foul?
LOVE WITH THE HUGE SHOT!!!!!
Sexton was absoltely mauled.
OMG… chaos.
Can’t afford that Colin
They’re not calling anything.
great help defense Nance!!!
BALL MOVEMENT!!!!! NANCE WITH THE SLAM!!!!
Beautiful pass love. To Nance
Huge foul on nance going for rebound, not called
Cavs getting absolutely mugged.
OMG Love gotta get a better pass to nance, great save Nance… Cedi was open for 3 just missed it.
Great d all the sudden

BEILEIN CLASSIC PLAY CALL FOR GARLAND 3!!!
Darius big shot! Nice play ooto.
Good. Defensive possession
If exum isn’t out there instead of Garland Cavs don’t want to win.
They went big. I’m OK with that. Still don’t understand Osman on Morris.
Sexton and Love going for 70!
Well done Cedi.
AGREE 100 % WITH YOU NATE –LNJ ON MORRIS
Smart foul Cedi.
SEXTON FOR THREE HUGE SHOT!!!!!
Collin!
Get osman off of Morris and put Nance on him.
WOW TWO OFFENSIVE REBOUNDS FOR THE KNICKS>
Challenge possession!
God beilein sucks. What’s the point in having a challenge if you never use it?
WOW… nice finish Sexton, but they need stops
LOVE CLUTCH!!!
Big hit kev.
WOW, no defense.
Must control fist of death.
Oh good move Cedi, just gotta finish.
OMG gotta finish that Sexton! 5 point swing.
Cedi giving it back to Morris I love it!!!
GREAT PLAY LOVE TO CEDI!
Beautiful back door love to osman!
THAT LEAD VANISHED RAPIDLY
Morris with a 7-0 run by himself. And these refs are garbage.
Morris is gonna kill them
Ugh.
They attacked Cedi 3 possessions in a row on defense.
Because he’s not a four.
Eff these refs
They suck.
Cedi on Morris is not smart, switch that.
Woah Collin… whatcha doin bud?
WOULD YOU DO A LOVE FOR CAPELLA ‘ STRAIGHT UP
Doesn’t work salary wise.
LOVE CAN HELP A PLAYOFF TEAM—THERE IS NO DOUBT ABOUT IT
Argh. Collin
What are you doing. Run the offense.
