Mistakenly turned this game on next to my cat, and the Cavs unis immediately made her barf.

Guess I’ll watch it later tonight. Peacock doesn’t like any of my credit cards.

huk huk

Are the Cavs trying camouflage with these uniforms and the court?

Apparently, It’s working for them so far! The Knicks can’t see where they are. They score at will!

3pt shooting the big difference again in a game. 2-8 vs 5-11

Won’t win games on the road shooting that way

I like Novak but not sure he feels New York enough. Feel like I am watching a Bucks game with that accent.

If we didn’t turn the ball over every other time and could make a 3 we would be way ahead

We did manage to slow them down just a little bit in the second quarter and that works to our advantage given how sluggishly we play. The lack of confidence and those stupid turnovers are inexplicable. We are happy to be down only by 6.We play like a team with neither leadership nor belief.

I’ll take it considering the shooting disparity, but ultimately to beat these guys we probably need Mitch playing close to starter minutes.

Honestly KAT getting his mojo back is such a huge development it almost overshadows whether we win or lose.

They need to get Hart out of this game now.

Can’t punish the two bigs on offense, can’t hold up on defense.

Just turned it on. WTF is Cleveland wearing? Trying to blind your opponents is illegal, isn’t it?

Not sure they’ve unlocked KAT, as he’s taken 4 shots (has made them all, however). Mikal has taken 14.

Look at Mikal trying to “contest” the offensive rebound in the Diawara miss. So fucking weak.

Also: Mike Brown is the weirdest coach.

This quarter is excruciating to watch. Cavs aren’t even shooting well and they’re building their lead.

You can’t sit Mo for three games or whatever it was and then insert him there and think he’ll produce.

I hope this is regular season Brown. If he does that shit in the playoffs he should not be back for another season.

Eerily similar to the Pistons game Knicks can’t hit anything.

Actually check that we shot better from 3 in the Pistons game, 23% vs 19% tonight.

This game seems too big for the rookie

Yup… after taking him out of the rotation for 5 games, throw him back in down by 10 in the third quarter and ask him to go on a heater.

It also seems too big for Brunson, Hart, OG and Bridges. 🙂

Mike Brown was brought in for games in the playoffs, but he seems clearly below Thibs as a head coach . Every coach outsmarts him . Thibs used to get washed by Carlisle , but Brown is a towel boy on the sidelines.

Eventually you have to ask yourself what coach can Mike Brown beat in a playoff series ..

Brown’s not a great coach, he’s a very average NBA coach. Which is why I’m not buying the idea that we’re going to hit the switch in the playoffs. In the playoffs coaching matters more than it does in the regular season.

We don’t have enough talent to make a very deep playoff run with an average coach.

And he’s made all 5 shots

And still can’t get more attempts .Something smells fishy

KAT is clearly starting to shoot better, but still not getting close to enough shots . He isn’t being used properly and March is coming up . How long does one need to implement a system ?

Whats Mike D’Antoni up to

Whats Mike D’Antoni up to

If he had any sense he’d be skiing in the Dolomites. He’s Milanese by experience, no?

Nobody should have to adjust to Mike Browns system . He isn’t Steve Kerr. Get this bum out of here .

Hey, I see Kolek got 4 pts and 2 assists in 2:42! So not the game wasn’t a complete waste of time…

And how did little Jose get 4 rebounds and a block?

Sorry I couldn’t be there with my Knicks sweatshirt. This one’s on me. Well it’s on Peacock, the little fuckers.

Cavs scored 49 points in the second half and blew us out

That’s how bad we were on offense.

James Harden immediately gets to a team and fits in and is running pick and rolls, but Brunson and Brown can’t work with Towns???

No enough towns and Mitch together

The excuses shall end

Originally I felt like Brown was the wrong coach because he was a “meh” retread. I wanted to gamble on some young guy that would be innovative and that could potentially turn out to be a great coach. Early in the season the offense looked good. I thought Brown was doing a good job. Now I’m back to my original position. IMO this team is underperforming its talent on offense and the lineups often make no sense to me. He’s doing some things better than Thibs (minutes and willingness to develop young players), but with Thibs they showed up almost every night and the lineups made sense even if he overused some. It’s hard to be optimistic about our chances to get to the finals, let alone beat OKC, SA or Denver.
