Live Thread: Cavs @ Knicks
2025-10-22HAPPY OPENING NIGHT, CAVS FANS! Cavs will be without Hunter, Strus, and Garland. Knicks are without Hart and MitchRob. I think the NBA wants the Knicks to win and the Cavs don’t get a whistle. Knicks by five and some bullshit. It’s all good. Just add some weight to the chip they have on their shoulder and goes towards depantsing Mr. Potato Head in the playoffs. Hope I’m wrong about tonight but right about the ‘offs. LFG, Cavs.
I watched but couldn’t concentrate very well because I was in a bar and people kept yammering to me. BUT one thing seemed obvious — right from the get-go the Cavs were getting homered at both ends of the court: Brunson was going to the line on imaginary and offensive fouls like he was primetime Michael Jordan. On the other end, two guys holding Allen’s arms when he tries to shoot and no foul call. KAT throwing people around. Etc. In total, the Knicks went to the line 36 times, the Cavs 18. With fair refing this is an easy… Read more »
We were dumb to start though. You can’t high five a shooter anymore this year, it’s an area of emphasis and we fouled four or five times that way
Yeah can high five, but the Cavs were jumpy and reckless on their closeouts: Notting guys in n the arm, etc.
Yeah, playing the Knicks in the playoffs is going to be a real problem. Cavs will never get a fair whistle.
AGREED MR STEAL——- DOES NOT SEEMED FAZED BY BRIGHT LIGHT s —— BELIEVE HE BRINGS MORE BB SKILLS/ IQ THAN TYSON—— PLAYs SIMILAR TO JEROME / HOPEFULLY WITH BETTER “ D” “
Proctor going to be the next Gods Favorite, Sam Merrill style.
Deserved. He’s fun.
ANYONE THINK BRYANT SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN SOME RUN / GET SOME REBOUNDS———- OBVIOUSLY JA WAS STILL ON HIS HONEYMOON
Nance was awesome. It’s great to have those guys when Allen is low-energy and / or bad.
that said, on rewatch it looks almost like we were freezing JA out. the play Nate called out with Proctor was one, but like…let my man touch the ball on offense if you are gonna ask him to switch out on guards for the next four possessions.
No. Dude isn’t a good rebounder.
ICE WITH TYPICAL ICE GAME——SUPPORT THAT TRADE 100%—100% of the time
Not really going to worry too much about this game. 3 key players out and refs with some serious home cooking. This team has a lot of depth when at full strength.
every Knicks clutch time last year was Garland just orchestrating perfectly and easy buckets. this was Mobley and Mitchell slamming into the brick wall (out of necessity!)
i’m bummed but 50 points in street clothes matters
SO THOSE WHO WATCHED— WHAT IS THE OPINION OF TYSON/ PROCTOR————— YOU THINK HAVING DG / DRE / STRUS MIGHT HAVE HELPED??? —— I POSTED LAST WEEK—- 9-6 / 8-7 THE 1st 15 GAMES
I think Proctor’s great. I’m not very with Tyson. Hope it’s just nerves. He strikes me as “just a guy” so far
he can’t do anything well yet on the NBA level.
on the plus side, he does that nothing well really really fast. and him starting seemed to light a fire in Dean.
Tyson was AWFUL, you win going away with Strus, let alone DeAndre or DG. Just started out with a bonehead play to give Brunson the easiest 3 of his life, and never recovered.
Proctor looks absolutely unfazed, better than Porter.
WTF —-DIDNT WATCH GAME—— BUT CAVS STILL HAVENT SOLVED THE REBOUNDING ISSUE—- THIS HAS TO BE A TOP PRIORITY!!!!!
ALLEN come on.
JALEN BRUNSON IS SUCH A FOUL MERCHANT
KISS MY ASS REFS
DAMMIT MOBLEY
Smart flop by Merrill.
Mitchell limping. That’s not good.
Cavs should be in the bonus rest of way.
Ball hitting the shot he should’ve before that.
Merrill gotta close out under control there. Gotta know Kolek’s a pass first guy.
LONZO BALL SNIPER
EVAN MOBLEY MVP
This sucks
WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS OFFENSE????
Tyson doesn’t know where to be. Also that screen call on LNJ was BS.
WTF with these calls.
Hellava quarter. Spida. Won the boards.
JARRETT ALLEN HAD THE MISMATCH PLAY SMART CMON PROCTOR
Yeah, he missed that one, but otherwise good. He’ll clean that up in film room.
SPIDA MVP
Wow. Ball is lethal on the break.
Sam I am
Nice ooto
So far, love Mobley, like Nance and Ball
Rebounding & toughness.
We ain’t got it. They do.
I don’t even think it’s toughness. It’s just focus. Dumb things like fouling three point shooters carelessly.
James dean wade.
WTF is this lineup with Mobley as the primary ballhandler… Quickly remedied by ball coming in.
Nice play proctor.
Man, you got to trust Mitchell there to challenge that.
Clarkson bailing us out.
NPBT — NO PANIC BUTTON TIME !!
Cavs getting worked by scrubs.
Tyrese Proctor may have to grow up quickly.
Yikes.
They gotta stop fouling.
13 / 7 REBOUND DIFFERENCE—— GOTTA GET TOUGH GUYS !!!💪💪💪
WTF are you doing Jaylen.
HEY CTB BRO ‘ S — HERE WE GO ……..” MORE BEER 🍺 PLEASE “ ——-AGREE NBA / MEDIA WANTS TO SEE KNICKS START OUT WITH “ W “ —— NO BIG DEAL——— START SLOW—-FINISH STRONG 💪
There’s a difference between aggressive and out of control by Mobley. He’s trended too much towards the latter the last two possessions.
Go Cavs!
Oof. Tyson forgetting Brunson is left handed.
That’s a really bad rotation again by Tyson. You gotta make a center dribble that ball instead of gambling for a steal on a high pass.
Allen gotta get that rebound. Very gambly offense.
JT!
Now mitchrob is in? Feels like knicks playing loose with the injury report.
Thank you Nate! We’re outta class early tonight cuz the professor is sick… so I’ll tune in about about 30 minutes!
KAT downgraded to doubtful. Dang. I was hoping the Knicks would do something dumb (though I never root for guys to get hurt).
Sorry I’m late, guys! Here’s to a fun season.
