Game Thread | Game #6 | Knicks @ Cavaliers | Oct. 30, 2022

Just finished watching - Wow! Give Bickerstaff credit - he finally found a unit that worked. LeVert (0-for-9) and Cedi (1-for-7) were having off nights but Love was hot along with Wade. In crunch time JBB went with Mitchell, Okoro, Wade, Love, and Mobley, keeping starters Allen and LeVert on the bench. That group killed it.

The Knicks led 101-100 at the 5:36 mark. The Cavs went on a 17-4 run to put it away. Love and Mitchell were on fire and everybody else played defense and hit the glass.

Love with 29 points and a +16. Wade with 22 points and a +20. Mitchell had 38 points, 12 assists, and a +18. Donovan scored or assisted on 71 points when you consider that 8 of his assists were on 3's and one of them was the 4-pointer by Love. 71 points!!!

Okoro was a +24 in 22 minutes off the bench and had 2 assists!

Jarrett Allen, please no more left-handed jump hooks from six feet! Only six games in but I can't take it anymore. Do one pound dribble and power it to the rim!

33 assists on 41 buckets! Sweet!

81-1 baby! I can feel it!

4 point play by Donovan Mitchell:

Here are Love's 8 3s, including his 4 point play.

I wonder if Knicks management is having second thoughts about not meeting Utah's price for Donovan Mitchell.

I know Stephen A is banging his head against a wall right now! I’m going DVR First Take tomorrow morning to see his reaction

Another crazy night in the NBA. Detroit beat Golden State by 14. New Orleans beat the Clippers by 21. The Clippers were one of the favorites in the West and they are 2-4. We play them soon in LA.

"And the look on his face? Kid, it was Tasty."

5 Cavalanches documented:

The Knicks came in averaging 120 points per game; we held them to 108. For the second game in a row the defense tightened up in the second half. The Knicks scored 59 in the first half and 50 in the second. Not as dramatic as the Celtics game (75/39) but not bad.

I was a big Hartenstein fan when he was here and disappointed that we didn't keep him. He looked good tonight with 12 points and 9 boards in 27 minutes.

The Cavs defensed Julius Randle very well, holding him to 15 points and forcing four turnovers. He also committed five fouls.

Our first game against Milwaukee is mid November, right around the time Middleton may return. That game is going to be fire if we're healthy.

They put banners of future draft picks up on the walls around Madison Square Garden.

I’m going to get killed . Like him over cedi. cedi lacks basketball aptitude

I don't like either player in the lineup but Cedi can at least get hot.


But I still want Cedi traded for someone more level headed. I can't stand his low IQ and his shitty no effort plays that he makes every fucking night.

You can find a guy who can hit some open 3s and wont be a bonehead.

All these stats and numbers, but these numbers are fun -
Cavs record 5-1

LeBron and Kyrie combined record 1-10 (maybe 1-11 later tonight)

I was at the game tonight and they showed some cool hoodies with some bones or skulls on the jumbo tron. Any idea who makes them? I looked on the team shop website and various other sites but can't find anything. Thanks for any help

I was there as well and I think I missed my opportunity. If me and my wife saw these walking around, we would have definitely bought them. But I didn't see any of these. Just the plain hoodies.
