Exactly. I don't know what Kizzle and some of the others are talking about. JB tried Cedi, and he was more effective than the other available options.

As for the improper closeout on Hart that Boobie pointed out, well 2 things can be true at the same time. Cedi is known for his lapses. But he bothered Brunson more than LeVert could, and was as effective as Okoro while providing more offense.

4-9 isn’t really good defense. That’s close to 50%.

The way he got the 4-9 is also bad. Those jumpers were not contested at all. I’m a short guy myself, on TV it looks like Osman was close but those were all wide open. Maybe all but one. Osman did make him pick up his dribble that one time but when Brunson decided to shoot Osman was cooked.


Also I’m not saying Osman is trash. Just shouldn’t have been asked to guard Brunson.

I don't even blame Cedi for much of it. That's not who he is and he shouldn't have been in those situations. JBB likes to mistake wrinkles for solutions.

It’s not just rim protecting, but that is where Wade get taken to town by PF. Everyone scores over him. So what does Wade do better on defense, so ur in know?

He doesn't get taken to town by hardly any PF's or SF's. I haven't looked at it in a long time, but last I knew he was good on field goal percentage against him and shot frequency against. And now the Love is gone he's one of our few rebounders.
 
Sorry if I will break someone’s child dreams right now,but…we all know this team is not a Championship team.This team is managed by poor GM that hired a head coach that had 0 Playoff experience and had little experience overall.The coach could not even fix rotational problems during the season and he cant do anything right now as well.Same with this team.Very bad offensively and defensively bench which wasnt fixed by our incompetent GM during regular season.Starting five is not consistent and again,has only DM with playoff experience and basically hes only one who wanted to win,but his desire to win always go along with his mistakes as well.He cant carry this team on his shoulders.We need better guys than Garland,Brickoro and even JA.Pumpkin cant turn into carriage at 12 o clock ,just like this team that had issues throughout the seaso cant become champion by magic click right now.Lets face it and hope this team will be fix next year

Especially when we know we lost because we couldn’t rebound for shit…every time Knick would get an offensive rebound the crowd knew they were scoring it was just painful shit lmaoo I woudnt rewatch this game at all waste of my time lmaoo
 
It looked to me, at least on TV that Allen was getting hacked every time he went up for a rebound and there were no calls. Mobley was just straight out choking those easy shots around the rim. And I think DG is deferring too much to Donovan. Instead of so much Donovan ISO, it would be better for DG to set him up.

Generally, the Knicks simply out hustled the Cavs and were far more physical. Play some Stevens, Neto, and Lopez -- especially the latter when the Knicks start mugging Allen.
 
people blaming cedi guarding brunson when jbb placed him there

It's hard to say we have more talent than the Knicks when their bench just outscored ours 37-14. Josh Hart all by himself is light years better than anything we bring off our bench (unless Caris decides to show up).

It’s even harder to say cuz it’s not true
 
Watching the Kings/Warriors game. So nice to see a young player in his first playoff game excel and take over against the defending champs. Not using the “youth” excuse Not like the turds we have.
