There's been a thing with afternoon games where the crowd comes out flat, but that won't be a problem. MSG smells blood in the water and the crowd will be at a frenzied pitch. Cavs have some adjustments to make but with only a short day off it will be tough. Plus, they won't really be able to leave their hotels without facing a loudmouthed, trash talking Knicks fan. My favorite part of the game was Caris making a back door cut for a layup with 5 minutes left and then clearly hearing someone behind Mike Breen scream "You still suck LeVert!" Brunson's post game interview said it all: My feeling? Cavs have about 5 minutes on Sunday to get a 10 point lead. If they don't, they will crumble under the pressure. |

Also, absolutely brilliant coaching in the 3rd. Knicks got their first foul with 7:30 left and their 4the with 2:30. They had three nonshooting fouls and one shooting on Allen when a dunk turned into two missed free throws. The 3 nonshooting fouls let the Knicks set up their defenses. Refs aren't calling take fouls in the playoffs, even when obvious. Great coaching to recognize that.
Bickerstaff has has all season to figure out the 3 spot and still hasn't. Knicks know who they are, Cavs don't. |

Went to the game tonight. Loved the atmosphere. The fans helped win this game. The Cavs were off their game the entire game. Knicks didn’t really play well, the Cavs just played worse. The Cavs missed so many wide open 3s in the first. That’s not good defense it’s poor shooting.
Barrett’s shot was dropping today which is great, but he still looks slow footed. Something’s wrong with him. Fatigue. Something he had the open lane to the layup and got caught from behind with enough time for Garland to set in front of him. That’s dead legs. Brunson came on and took the game over. That confidence wins this series for us. I called 4-1 and believe it after seeing Brunson tonight. Knicks lack confidence in their shots. I love the extra pass but not the extra extra extra pass. Need to figure that out. Need to know who has the best shot and when. IQ is valuable on and off the ball and so much on defense. Our Centers finish like grade schoolers. No finesse. Allen and Mobley are taking them out of the game offensively but can’t get them out of the box. Knick Rebounds > Cav Rebounds. I still love Donovan Mitchell. Right decision not to pay that price, but maybe someday he will be a Knick. You know I gonna spin wit it
