Knicks Win 102-93 vs Cavs – Up 3 Games to 1

It was an odd game, as a Knicks starting forward was benched due to ineffectiveness, just not the one you thought it would be. R.J. scored 26 points on 18 shots, while Randle struggled with just 7 on 10 and sat for much of the 4th quarter. The Knicks blew a 9 point half time lead early in the second half, but came through strong at the end. Even though Brunson led the team with 29 points on 22 shots, it felt as if it were a team effort. Mitch had 7 offensive rebounds and chipped in 12 points. Hart had 19 points on 16 shots, pulled down 7 rebounds, and added 2 steals.

Randle only played 27 minutes, and Toppin saw the floor for the fourth quarter and ended up with 20 minutes played, and hauled in 8 boards, 5 on the offensive end.

The NBA broadcasted a stat that said teams up 3-1 win the series 95% of the time, so fingers crossed that we’re not that 1 in 20 outlier.

[Edited because somehow in my haste I looked at the wrong box score.]

2023 Playoff Thread – The Little Knicks Team That Couldn’t vs. Cavaliers, Game 4

The Knicks continue their futile attempt to make the second round of the NBA playoffs today with Game 4 of their first round series against the Cleveland Cavaliers. The Knicks won Game 3 using the clever strategy of having Elfrid Payton wear Darius Garland’s jersey and shoot a bunch of shots (similar to how the Minnesota Timberwolves let Mark Madsen shoot a bunch of threes that time they were trying to tank their way into keeping their first round pick).

The Knicks, though, are smart. They don’t like to just lose, they want to lose in the most painful way possible, so they cleverly came up with the idea of taking a 2-1 lead in this series to give their fans hope, so that when the Knicks inevitably lose this series, it will hurt even more. Because make no mistake about it, the Knicks are going to find a way to lose this game.

It starts with Quentin Grimes missing Game 4, and it will end, I presume, with Jalen Brunson’s leg exploding and his leg bone stabbing Immanuel Quickley in the ACL. Or perhaps Mitch’s shoelaces will somehow get entangled in every other players’ sneakers, causing one gigantic collective sprained ankle. I don’t know HOW it will happen, just that it WILL happen.

But hey, if you get off on watching the Knicks lose, then this game will be for you.

Let’s go, Knicks, not that it matters, since they are doomed.
