Live Thread: Cavs @ Knicks
2026-11-11Back to New York, and we will see if the Cavs show up or continue their moribund ways. James Harden has to play his way into shape or the Cavs are screwed. That’s really all here is to it. The Cavs don’t need to win this so much as look like they give a shit. The Knicks have everyone available. Merrill is out, and Tyson is a game time decision. Go Cavs.
Getting through the 2nd half replay. Have to reiterate my belief that Josh Hart is a crappy player who played above his level last POs. Elevated by the team perhaps. Few players I dislike watching more. Very happy to see the refs standing up to his (and Brunson’s) BS tonight.
Didn’t mind the small lineups cause the Knicks were going small. (and Mario didn’t have it). Loved closing with the big lineup
SUPER MARIO 7 MINUTES?????———— CLF YOU HAVE TO BE PROUD OF YOUR “ DUKIE “ PROCTOR——- CAVS /KOBY HAVE “ STRUCK GOLD “ WITH “ LATE DRAFT PICKS PROCTOR/LEEK 👍👍
Those guys are playing great.
Mario was a -9 in those minutes. The only Cav in the neg was Proctor at -4. Maybe KA saw something. If they lost, I’d be more critical.
Mario was way too slow for the perimeter guys and way too weak for Dre and KAT. Tough matchup but he should be good in Miami.
Solid. Great contributions from several. Love that young guys are contributing. And Harden did deliver.
Yes…though he almost screened Watson from making that huge block. This game showed there is hope…but as much as folks thought Mobley’s growth determines our ceiling, Harden’s play determines our floor. Right now, it’s still “get blown out by a starter-less Hornets team.”
Elementary
Fat Daddy’s revenge game.
Watson undercuts Mobley and doesn’t check to see if he’s ok? Is there a chemistry issue with this team?
bro
Worried about Harden ducking this up.
Watching the scoreboard. Go Cavs! 97-90.
Tyson, finally!

Why is Tyson helping off McBride when he has no chance to help?
Good timeout. Grab. The. Ball.
Mobley got clobbered
Beard heating up
Like the focus so far but free throws…
Tyson and Watson straighten themselves out on offense (play them together and run maybe?) and we got a squad. Don’t feel amazing about the bench process but the effort is there and we’re getting 50/50 ball.
Will miss the rest of the game – hoping for more development time for Thomas, Watson and for Tyson to get going. Laters.
Lol
Harden is on his bullshit.
Brunson having a dirty game, the crowd doesn’t see it. I’m shocked.
Tyson’s shot is….shot.
Ahmad Rashaad!
Adam Silver in the crowd – don’t tell CLF when he gets here.
Mitchell with some nice aggression there.
Grab. The. Ball.
Leek scores four straight and the slacks off the deuce who cans a trey.
Thomas a delight to watch. Damn he moves well!
Cavs slacking on d and Knicks make a run from the three point line. Harden over dribbling and generating no rim pressure.
Cavs up thanks to aggressive play from Watson and Mobley. Allen moving well too. Interested to see how Tyson goes as the game wears on.
Thank you Nate!!! Still at work, I’ll try to join by halftime.
Watson’s movement and vision is something to like.
Love this post Nate 🤣
Fat Daddy!!!!
