We were getting our asses kicked before that late game switch went on so, I'm going with the Knicks. We have to play better for a full 48 minutes and not let them get comfortable again. Were we rusty or were getting outplayed? We damn sure can't shoot like that from 3 again.

Cleveland just has to try and replicate what they were doing right and make the adjustments to keep us from going off on Harden like we did. The cloud over their head is can they bounce back. They don't really have to bounce back as much as not let it slip away like they did.

Slight edge to the Knicks needing to pass the test IMO. Win tonight and you're in the driver's seat the rest of the way. Show your worth with a statement win!

I think the test is if we can get back to the cutting and ball movement action we had prior to the last game. I'm always down for Jalen heroics, but iso ball isn't getting it done against OKC or the Spurs.

Here's some Dina Fox bitties to add fuel to Josh's big girl fetish.

Josh seemed to react to Pinky as well.

They had an answer for the KAT HUB. They run double bigs and it was effective against what we were doing since Game 4 ATL. They couldn't stop the 5 out look. We don't need Brunson dropping 11 straight all night long. Just stretch those bigs out to the perimeter and open up the lanes for everyone. They couldn't stop it with Harden so Brunson just feasted on him but, it's still an effective set if we can drain the perimeter looks to keep the defense honest. They can't be ch Harden. He's gonna be food.

I'll worry about the Spurs or OKC when we cross that bridge.

We'll be looking at the same double big look if we meet OKC. The offense needs more diversification and ISO Jalen isn't an effective strategy to rely on. I understand Harden is food, but that doesn't just extend to one on one. He's also lose his man frequently on movement. We'll see what adjustments Brown makes.
