The Cavs’ pick and roll defense in the fourth was completely hapless. The Knicks got the switch they wanted every single time. The Cavs were trying to use Wade and Merrill to guard Brunson, but the problem is those guys cannot fight through a screen to save their lives, so you end up with Harden guarding Brunson every time down the floor. Just send whichever guy Harden is guarding to set a screen for Brunson, and voila.

Combine this with the better spacing the Knicks got from the Shamet lineup, and you get a LOT of space for Brunson to operate in.

OG was looking pretty comfortable by the end of the game. Did some OF stuff and seemed to have his timing back.

OF stuff? Did he.. did he start an OnlyFans?

Just got home from the game, I was exhausted before I even got there, went to work at my old school and did recess duty in a sweltering asphalt playground. I was literally sweating and out of breath the entire drive home.

What a monumental game to witness live. I was especially happy for my buddies who sat through the game 1 debacle last year.

More tomorrow. Sleep well, Knicks faithful!

This was an amazing win, and I am, of course, very happy right now (and, come on, this is the kind of loss that destroys a team, as we saw last year with the Knicks and the Pacers), but it’s funny that the COMEBACK aspect of it is really leaving me a bit cold.

Don’t get me wrong, it was awesome, but man, the NBA just has SO many big comebacks nowadays. I was watching a video of the biggest NBA comebacks of all-time a few months back, and, like, most of them came from the last five years.

Again, great, great win, and I loved it, but it’s interesting how this “2nd biggest comeback in playoff history” is less shocking than coming back from, like, seven points in 1997, ya know?

I guess shutting it off and going to bed paid off. Just woke up and checked the score and laughed.
