Listen to what Hart says to Mitch near the middle of the video. Then it turned out to be exactly what happened at the end of the game is amazing. Why did teams keep trading this guy?

We must keep this man regardless of cost. 😤

Decided to check out the Cavs reddit and looks like they noticed how Hart and Obi's leaking out helps others get rebounds. That why I say just looking at stats don't tell the whole story.

Definitely Miami, Giannis would eat Knicks bigs alive.

Plus no Herro who seems to play well against us IMO.

Took way too long for Thibs to get Brunson away from Garland —- he could have blown game letting that go on so long —- think I Hart substitution also happened there to slow the high screen roll action Cavs we’re killing us with.

He's like Theo Pinson except he can play the game of basketball.

He's like RJ Barrett except sometimes the ball goes in the basket.

Yeah, but I'm still rooting for Landry. Those were some fun years.

I was very entertained to see the Hawks win game 5 and send it back to Atlanta.

Without Murray, Trae can play proper hero ball and maybe steal another game to make things interesting.

This is the reason why so many of us was Ok with not doing the trade. The Cavs are a better version of what we would have been if we pulled off the trade. No bench at all and no assets to build it. At least they got to keep most of their talent when Ainge wanted us to include most of ours. If you are going to trade all those picks Ainge wanted you need to keep talent you already have on your team. You can't trade all those picks and the young talent. You will be left with a top heavy team that is not good enough.

On a random note, the Grizz don't look like world killers when they don't have those illegal Steven Adams screens. I feel similar about the Warriors. They have excellent shooting so they will still be very good but if they stopped getting away with all their illegal screens they would be much more manageable.

Does Koby Altman get enough blame? LOL……
4 seed! Team won 51 games this year, 7 more than last year!
The DM deal wiped them out. This is year one. They have a three year window with DM under contract. Does not mean he leaves, they can extend.
This is sports talk and listeners start to lose all time line perspective in the heat of the moment. We will also at some point when expectations start to rise.
Altman got a star player way in his prime to Clev. That costs capital. If they land locked they need to scour for inexpensive vets to round out depth. Mobley is 21 years old and has amazing potential. Its all good, like we have RJ until things go sideways for a while and fans lose patience.

Radio shows are there to do **** like that. Tap into negative emotions. They don’t speak for all fans there.
Just like our few negative naysayers don’t for all of us.
Notice how some get real quiet when knicks succeed? Not saying they are “Wrong” and that matters, I just think some enjoy being unhappy than others.
