We could’ve expected NBA caliber basketball. This was trash and this game is how coaches get fired

This a young team and the playoffs are more than just one game. Agree coach didn’t have the right game plan, but let’s hold off on the firing talk for after this series. This team is growing. Once they learn to win on the road in playoffs, especially in MSG, they will absolutely be ready to take off.

Josh Hart outrebounded Mobley

At least Mobley has 10 boards tonight while taking on a defensive assignment thst keeps him near the perimeter half the game.

Jarrett Allen since the first quarter- 0pts, 2 Rebs 0 FGA, 0-2 from the line. Steven’s would have been more useful in so many ways.

Our guards have to realize it’s fun dropping 40 and 50 and shit but you cannot just ignore your bigs. They lead your team in shot % they have to be involved

Totally ignored them tonight

Sticking with Cavs in 7.

But it’s disappointing that the team has proven twice that they shrink big time in big moments.

JBB’s decision to start Levert requires some explanation.

The explanation is that it worked well in game 2. May not have been the best move but there’s not a player on the team who would have put us over the top tonight with this performance
 
Imagine thinking Allen would be dependable after wilting against physicality every single time in the regular season…

LOLLLLLL
 
Goober after goober on the sidelines at MSG. What a bunch of freaking weirdos they have down there with floor seats.

ETA: yes I’ve resorted to making fun of their fans.

He never has the right gameplan. Whenever we look good it’s because Mitchell or Garland went off. I have not seen one game all year that i said to myself was won by JBB’s IQ
 
No poise from the players and the coaching staff. So disappointing
 
Brunson embellishment draws a foul call. Sensing a pattern here.

I think the Knicks are the better team at this point.

They've got a more well rounded roster. They've got more playoff tested guys. The overall skill gap between the two teams is nearly what it was made out to be on this board and the toughness, experience, coaching, and just having more playable guys is gonna more than make up for it.

The only way the Cavs can win this series is if Mitchell goes for 40 a night like he did in Utah. And that can't happen if Darius Garland shoots 10 times in the 1st quarter.

Darius Garland isn't good enough to win a series playing like that. Mitchell is.

Wait, who on the Knicks outside of Brunson has really played in the Playoffs? I think Randle has played one series. Everyone else is pretty young. It's just that their coach has got them playing fearless because they can trust him. Our bitches are scared. They aren't ready. Mitchell and Caris both have equal to if not more playoff experience.

And they're not even a better regular season 3 point shooting team. We're a better team. We're just braindead.
