hartenstein was honestly incredible this game, only 5 points but man he really dominated the paint and threw some wicked good passes

Wade thinks he's steph curry with the amount of shots he takes in the 4th

u/syllabic Knicks Apr 01 '23
are we not benching RJ because we want to keep his trade value up? everybody can see he sucks ass
and if it's not to wreck his confidence, he should have no confidence cause he sucks

I don't think I could take a full series of this matchup

u/Sintax- Knicks Apr 01 '23
I don't know if the players could either, this has been physical as hell.

u/sharpeshooter32 Trail Blazers Apr 01 '23
Tf are these lineups from the Cavs? Neto? Dean Wade? They're literally just telling Mitchell to drop 50 or lose the game

Every young kid should take inspiration from Jalen Brunson if they wanna go pro.
The man’s footwork is impeccable.

Brunson has 40 points pain. No one wants Kyrie we want Brunson back

It makes me feel a little better knowing this is without 2 of the Cavs 3 best defensive players

u/frankslastdoughnut Knicks Apr 01 '23
I mean both teams are missing pieces. You guys 2 defensive players. Us, our all nba power forward

Cavs fans how y'all holding up?

u/TheBlazeMaster Cavaliers Apr 01 '23
Pretty damn good. It's the beginning of the 3rd and we're only down 3. Why are you asking?

u/roly_gomez Apr 01 '23
Gonna be a good playoff series fam

u/TheBlazeMaster Cavaliers Apr 01 '23
Absolutely. I hope both teams are full strength. Brunson's a beast.

Quickley has 6th man of the year locked up so much its not even funny

u/MyLadySansa [NYK] Quentin Grimes Apr 01 '23
That's how I feel. Brodgon is great but we'd be up shit's creek without Quick. Especially with the injuries to JB

u/DosSamtos [NYK] Phil Jackson Apr 01 '23
Celtics fans still refuse to accept this

u/Ohimarkitzero Knicks Apr 01 '23
Even though brogan has missed 13 games, which voters will certainly penalize him for

All of this without Randle. This series is gonna be insane.

Hart was clearly sliding. Cavs will never get a good whistle, swear to god

Casual here. I knew basketball had become 3-heavy but is this the norm? Shit's crazy.
3
u/Direct_Morning_3223 Knicks Apr 01 '23
this is not the norm this is one of the most insane offensive games this year
2
u/3_Mighty_Ninja_Ducks Apr 01 '23
Well damn, okay, thanks. I only tuned in because of the potential playoff match-up. Glad I did! haha

u/HokageEzio Knicks Apr 01 '23
So... you think these teams are trying to send a message?
9
u/luis1972 Knicks Apr 01 '23
The message: we don't play defense.
3
u/Sintax- Knicks Apr 01 '23
I mean, defense hasn't been terrible, not great, but certainly not anywhere near 151 points combined in a half bad. Both teams are hitting on deep and contested shots here at crazy rates.

brunson is so good at creating space with his footwork, I guess you have to be in order to score at his size

Assuming these two meet in round 1… Hartenstein v Robin Lopez will be a fun matchup

u/syllabic Knicks Apr 01 '23

Possibly the most insane first quarter offensively I've ever seen. Can't believe IQ hit that last shot

u/syllabic Knicks Apr 01 '23
every cavaliers rebound is an offensive rebound because I find their rebounding offensive. I'm offended

u/Jets2022Champs Knicks Apr 01 '23
The Cavs are a bunch of frauds. I’m looking forward to gentlemen sweeping Donnie and the crew

u/JTsoICEYY Knicks Apr 01 '23
What? They have incredible defense and they fit really well on offense? How are they frauds in any way?

you already went to like 5 finals in the last decade

We haven't done shit without LeBron. And I take no pleasure in saying that

u/HokageEzio Knicks Mar 31 '23
Feel like the pressure for this one is on Cleveland. This is most likely the matchup in the playoffs, but no Randle they should win and we already have command of the season series. Both teams get a chance at one last parting gift.
