I blame this loss on JB bickerstaff (The Head Coach of the Cavs). Why is he experimenting with new players in the playoffs?!? It doesn’t take a genius to know that Ricky Rubio and dean wade aren’t gonna cut it.

If I was a Mavericks fan, I would be pulling my hair out… Brunson is a straight killer

I dont know but the no foul strat with 35 or so ticks left and down by 2 and no TO left was a huge gamble, which turned out to be a mistake. Darn!

Mitchell is taking way too many shots and taking his team out the game. He better study this and take lessons from Brunson, less shots but more efficient, passing the ball and keeping your team involved. Mitchell scoring 40 a game is not gonna happen, even so, with 40 they still lost, showing he needs help, or how by the way he’s playing he’s taking his team out of their game, you decide which one, but their standing around watching him try to do it all.

Cavs played so bad and still almost had the game. Miss ez layups, free throws and you can’t win. Grats to Knicks for game 1

Everyone said “rEgUlAr sEaSoN wInS dOnT mAtTeR” but yet this game played out exactly how the other 3 games where the knicks won during the season. When one team has another team figured out, it absolutely DOES MATTER!

Yes sir NYC stand up. And this is what Steven A wanted was too flush out the entire NYC KNICKS squad for Donavon Mitchell that boy is on drugs. Donavon Mitchell is a good player but never worth empty out the NY KNICKS bench or anyone else for that matter. Still a long way to go but my “NYC KNICKABOCKERS “ARE LOOKING REAL DANGEROUS RIGHT NOW. ITS ONLY ONE GAME BUT WE’LL TAKE IT BABY. LETS GO NYC KNICKS & LETS GO NYC YANKEES…YEAH BOYIIIII….
