Game Thread | Game #49 | Cavs @ Knicks | Jan. 24, 2023

The more physical team is going to get the benefit of the doubt. If the team hasn't learned this halfway through the season, then they aren't going to.

I have been saying this all season. The Cavs have change their cupcake approach to the game and get more physical. Refs are creatures of habit.

From Fedor:

Tuesday was the 13th time this season an opponent made 15 or more 3s. The Cavs are now just 1-12 in those games.

Another thing that pissed me off... Randle started the gamer off red hot from beyond the arc. In spite of that our perimeter defense either sagged off him, went under picks, or made pretty weak contests for most of the night. They needed to run him off the line, and keep forcing him to attack the paint instead of giving him comfortable threes. Our bigs flat out shut him down in the paint more than a few times.
