Max Strus, the sharpshooting guard who eliminated the Knicks with the Miami Heat last spring and now has adopted Cleveland’s beef with New York.

“Whatever we have against the Knicks, I’m in debt to that here,” said Strus, who inked a four-year, $62 million deal in July. “They did us dirty last year and we’re going to try to play our game to show that we’re capable of playing with those guys.”

“I mean, duh,” Barrett said. “But it’s fun. It’s a team we were able to beat in the playoffs. I know from my experience when we lost to Atlanta [in 2021], when we saw them we were extra motivated to go and play them. We know what kind of energy they’re going to bring to the game, but we’re excited, too. I think it’s going to be a good two games.”

Thompson, who listed at 6-9 and 254 pounds, didn’t like being compared to his Knicks counterpart as a rebounder.

“Me and Josh Hart similarities with offensive rebounding? You should’ve used Pat Beverly as a comparison,” Thompson said. “Me and Josh Hart-rebounding wise? No. That’s like a filet and a sirloin steak.”

Spida is gonna go for 50.

But we should still win this coming off that loss and with all the Cavs being injured. Got to match their intensity and motivation.

Little early for that, yes? If we lose tonight in CLE and win tomorrow in NY, we feeling crushed?

I'd say it's a "must split"

I kind of wish we got Spida. I know the playoffs and such, but man, I really like him as both a player and a person. Could use some defensive tweaks, but when he is on, he is on. I am a fan. Now, I worry that he will end up in Philly with Embiid. It makes so much sense for that to happen.

In any event, I got Hart over Thompson in the rebounding category today.

This is the Randle.

We should blow them out. But we’re letting them hang around.

RJ is the best player on the court, playing with great confidence.

Did DDV bang a ref's wife? Zebras have been on him since opening night.

Randle looks like he lost a step. But that lost step is keeping him from playing out of control. Looks like he has a plan, as opposed to winging it.

I wish Brunson would look to set up his teammates, when he's turning the ball over and jacking up bricks. Last season JB did a great job of straddling that line between a scoring PG, and a ballstopper. Seeing more of the latter.

RJ keeps this up and he'll make his first all-star squad.
