Game Thread | Knicks playoff series Game #1 | Knicks @ Cavs | April 15, 2023

The x-factor in this game to me is Garland. I believe NY is going to focus their efforts on doubling Mitchell, and they are going to try and make Garland or an open Okoro beat them.

What’s the deal with Okoro? He playing?

Gametime decision. But I feel like that’s gamesmanship. He’s playing.

Also to anyone going to the game today, here’s a great thread featuring highlights of our crowd throughout the years:


Be part of the tradition!

I want Mobley to put the league on notice this series.

On this date in Cavaliers history:

April 15, 1976. Cavaliers 80, Washington 79, Game 2 in DC. Bingo Smith hits the jumper with two seconds left to send the series back to the Coliseum tied 1-1. First playoff win in Cavaliers history. First of three late buckets to pull out victories over the Bullets.

One thing about this team we are physical as fuck refs just don’t let us impose our will hopefully since is playoffs they let us play

Heard the hoop collective talking about the Knicks drawing fouls and the cavs not.

"Knicks attack the rim".

Cavs have been getting short changed at the line all year. They are a physical team that pressures the rim. Many of Jarrett and Mobley's buckets should be and 1s

Just hoping it's called even and they let them play

If Allen and Mobley both play DPOTY caliber at the same time i don’t see how Knicks keep up in a 7 game series. Just got too much offensive firepower and our defense is good enough to win games by itself so i just don’t see many losses in this series.


Maybe I’m just a homer but Cavs in 5.
