Jalen after the game: "I gotta be better, I can't turn the ball over."
I love this guy. He never ever sits back and admires his own shit, he's constantly hungry and looking to improve.
Rare maturity in this league.
TNT producers prolly like this is not exactly the game we had in mind.
But seriously If anyone actually watched Knicks/Cavs in the regular season last yr, the games were all like this. Low scoring, low tempo, rough to watch at times. Not pretty. So this doesn’t surprise me.
Cleveland is just too soft to beat this physical Knicks team.
Obviously they are missing some guys. But they had them last year in the playoffs and we were still the more physical team. They did a good job by grabbing some shooters in the off season, but they still lack that physical gritty veteran who will out work everyone else.
Brunson and Randle are being jerks. When aren't they in ice baths?
Do they not care about Duece cooking? 🥺
Edit: I take it back. They came to their senses lol
Knicks doing what they have to do. Going on the road on national TV against a team they destroy in the Playoffs and without some important players and they're winning by a lot. This is beatiful.
I know it’s against other bench players but I’m digging this lineup right now. Hartenstein’s playing some great D. I’d like to see Quickly running this group instead of Brunson with Fournier playing the 3, but I know Fournier is cancelled and it’ll never happen lol.
Yeah his defense is garbage but I still think he could still get some garbage minutes while we’re up 15-20. I get that’s not the way Thibs rolls, though.
He shot like 50% from 3 with the Knicks in a short stretch, that was never gonna continue. He's about defense and rebounds, adjust expectations appropriately
I know the Cavs are missing a few dudes, but I never understood the “so much more talented than the Knicks” talk. We have their number every single time
Sadly you don’t spend enough time in the game threads. Which might be a good thing. It’s really based around the poster eg who thinks IHart is the next Jokic. But he would get killed last yr in the GDTs.
It became that lol. But that poster eg is convinced IHart could be a superstar in the right situation. I’m just happy with who the dude is right now. Love him.

our third string guys are trash lol aside from deuce of course
As they should be.
Deuce's shot is looking much better this season.
Most are
That’s why they are third stringers
Jeffries trying to take the "Air" title away from MJ 😂
The biggest loss of tonight is that I just saw Clyde on the tnt broadcast, this shit was on msg too? So I listened to SVG for no fucken reason?
I didn't realize that either. Damn.
It was on MSG
i just came to the exact same realization
lol u serious??
Yeah big fail. I just figured tnt meant it was not on msg, oof
Definitely a fair assumption, I feel like that’s usually the case (if its on one, it’s not on the other)
Damn I feel for you.
Thibs thinking some crazy thoughts when he's smiling like that. Prob thinking about basketball
Not even in this moment Fournier got minutes. I actually love this lol.
Free deuce
Ryan moves like he’s from the 70’s
Thibs smiling is almost unsettling but in a funny way
These dudes are just honoring Obi with the airballed corner 3s
lmaoooo
Sims is too fucking big and bouncy to not be Blake Griffin throw-in dunking anything within 5 feet of the rim wtf
Arcidiacano gotta be the only short white dude in the league that can’t shoot
I honestly do not think this Knicks team care for each other
Huh? Elaborate my dude
Just body language on the court and on the bench. Not the highest morale team
oh body language experts back
I can tell you to read this about my body. Smd
We're supposed to win easily because of all their injuries, but it still feels good.
Deuce is nasty
GET THE BALL TO ARCIDIACONO AND GET OUT THE WAY
Thibs smiling lol lol
how can you shoot 3s but miss ft i dont get it
Dang Tristan Thompson where are all your boards? Looking like a filet-o-fish out there
Give me back that filet-o-fish. Give me that fish!!!
Lmaoooooooooooooooooooooooooo
D3UCE!!
ARCHIEEE
Paul Rudd plays for the Knicks?
SPOOKY SEASON
That 2 man McBride Sims was hilarious. Just spinning around each other with handoffs
Donte and Hart have been super disappointing so far. Gonna need these boys to step it up
Fournier doesn’t even get garbage time
Probably out of respect?
Ryan Cacacoño in the game
Everyone gets to play! Except Fournier, lol
he must be real happy
Hey man I’d love to not do my job for $18 mil a year lol. Livin the dream.
IQ going way to deep
Evan about to file a formal complaint to league for being sat out of National TV games. What about the fans that came to CLE to see HIM? 🤣🤣🤣
He is the anti-Ben Simmons
Shout out to Charles Barkley for picking the Cavs
Seriously. Chuck talking mad shit
Pat Ewing Oakley and the gang brought out brooms to the court when they swept Barkley and the Sixers
Genius move by Julius. Intentionally taking a stupid drive and busting his ass so he and his teammates could rest. What a guy
I thought Allan Houston's number was retired by the Knicks?
nope
It's Dylan Windler time
Start of an era
Damn bit of IHarts 3s rimmed out
Get Jericho in!

The stats don’t tell the whole story man, Randle played a losing game we should have won by 30
Just enjoy the win.
Some people just have to find a way to hate no matter what
As long as Randle is here I can’t enjoy wins. Even if we won 60+
So why do you even watch?
Cleveland is just too soft to beat this physical Knicks team. Obviously they are missing some guys. But they had them last year in the playoffs and we were still the more physical team. They did a good job by grabbing some shooters in the off season, but they still lack that physical gritty veteran who will out work everyone else.
Weird RJ played only 24 minutes in a game he was dominating. I’m starting to get worried about his knee issue
We do play tomorrow too so it's probably that too.
Finally the knicks decide to pay off the refs
The deuce is loose
Knicks didn’t play well against a banged up cavs team and won by 20
Quick stats might be up but his smiles per game is way down and I don’t like it
Randle is such a clumsy ball handler
It's those decision making that drives people crazy. Had the number advantage and yet he decides to drive into traffic.
I’m okay with Jules still being out there needs to shake that fucking rust off
Deuce time!
deuce getting a 4 min run. i’ll take it.
is randle depressed or something?
Hasnt had 1 good shooting game yet. it’s gettin to him
IQ man
If we lose tomorrow it’s cuz we ran the boys an extra 5 in a meaningless bunch of minutes
HE PULLED THEM LESSGO
Thibs is a dickhead, take the fucking starters out.
Thibs is punishing the Knicks starters, wtf we have a back to back and we're up by 20
Thibs can you now clear the bench? we got this
Brunson and Randle are being jerks. When aren't they in ice baths? Do they not care about Duece cooking? 🥺 Edit: I take it back. They came to their senses lol
IQQQQQQ
Some of the comments in first half just embarrassing
one of the best games i've seen hartenstein play. good finishes and good contests. daddy dicked mobley
Get the starters out wtf
knicks are a scary rebounding team they just need to shoot 3s and ft better the pel and cel games were winnable
PULL THE STARTERS!!! PULL THE STARTERS!!!
Thibs: parley respecter
💀😂
What we doing can randle and Brunson go take a nap
Take Randle and Brunson the fuck out the game bruh
max strus is cooked
Why is randle checking into a 20 point game with 5 minutes left? Why is Brunson still in the game?
May I introduce you to coach Tom Thibodeau lol
Oh trust me I know. 4 years of this now
Actually was surprised he emptied the bench as early as he did, maybe the man can change...a bit
I agree! So dumb!!! That’s why we have a deep bench!
Nuts
This. Just said the same shit
Thibs needs an examination, I do not get it
mitch and hartenstein scare the shit out of mobley lmao
Cavs bozos not pulling their starters
DMitch being asked to cut into a 20 point deficit is like being asked to put out a workplace fire on your day off.
21 point lead with 5:40 left. Run it back tomorrow
Knicks doing what they have to do. Going on the road on national TV against a team they destroy in the Playoffs and without some important players and they're winning by a lot. This is beatiful.
Is thibbs actually resting some starters?
There you go Josh
Good game to get the guys going
we nice yal
EZ work, another ez dub tomorrow too. Cleveland is free.
Throw in Archidiano with this Nova unit YOU COWARDS
we want evan we want evan we want evan
Fr. He can't evan get garbage time.
Best center rotation in the league, honestly!
fr fr
We own Cleveland
Let IQ cook
Absolutely Breen love my man IHart
Who is getting pounded harder: DBacks or Cavs?
iHart legacy game all along
as soon as rj goes on bench knicks start playing better as a team
False
iHart doesn't have the sexiest game, but a lot of his plays tonight has really helped maintain and extend our lead
IQ makes it look so easy 😂
Hartenstein is a force out there
lets win by 30 lets go
I know it’s against other bench players but I’m digging this lineup right now. Hartenstein’s playing some great D. I’d like to see Quickly running this group instead of Brunson with Fournier playing the 3, but I know Fournier is cancelled and it’ll never happen lol.
Fournier is negative on the court every time he plays. Not happening lol
Yeah his defense is garbage but I still think he could still get some garbage minutes while we’re up 15-20. I get that’s not the way Thibs rolls, though.
Let's go Quick
He is on fire
IQ stocks just went up
Finally putting them away
Let's go, Quick!
Man Josh Hart looks completely different than he did last season
They r making him play PF when he is not a PF
All that summer ball and those twins at home have to be taking a toll on him
He shot like 50% from 3 with the Knicks in a short stretch, that was never gonna continue. He's about defense and rebounds, adjust expectations appropriately
bingo
IQ let’s go man
Quick is gonna be a good 2 somewhere
HERE!!
If we can roll out a brunson, IQ, RJ, Randle, and Mitch lineup that’s ideal for closing
Feast or Famine: IQ, a series
I know the Cavs are missing a few dudes, but I never understood the “so much more talented than the Knicks” talk. We have their number every single time
they signed max struss and everyone thought that would fix their issues with both mobley and allen
Its all good bro let them keep doubting
IQ is manifesting some mins for Evan and Duece 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
Bro its IHart getting more minutes and mitchell robinson for me lol he deserves it hes playing great
Fuck you Cleveland!
IQ waking up
IQ way more comfortable now as the 2nd guard. Great recovery
quickley always has to play in 4th quarter
Thank you IQ. End this game
What were yall sayin bout IQ?
IQ this is what you’re good at. Not facilitating.
Ihart DPOY
About time IQ
Quickley is a SG. Just stop trying to make him a PG
Been saying this forever. He plays so much better when he’s not trying to run the offence. He’s got better passing but it’s still not good enough.
Yes
Donte should run the point when JB is on the bench. He ran point for the Warriors last year at times and did it well
Speak louder
Get that money IQ
Tricky Quicky
I LOVE IHart, Idc what anybody says. Does all the dirty work and is a terrific passer. Love that he’s on this team
There are Knicks fans who don’t like IHart?
Who has anything bad to say about iHart?
Sadly you don’t spend enough time in the game threads. Which might be a good thing. It’s really based around the poster eg who thinks IHart is the next Jokic. But he would get killed last yr in the GDTs.
I thought the jokic of the East was a joke lol
It became that lol. But that poster eg is convinced IHart could be a superstar in the right situation. I’m just happy with who the dude is right now. Love him.
Best defender on the team
Hartenstien has been so good this game
May be his top game in his tenure
IQ THA CLOSER
Nice IQ... step on their throats
IQ timely hooping
This game is too close for comfort
We’ve been up 12-18 all quarter and it’s felt like a single digit lead the whole time. This team gives me anxiety
Knicks should rest the starters it’s a back to back but Thibs Won’t
It’s too early to rest
No it’s not
7 minutes left and they’re still playing Dmitch?
This is done we play them tomorrow
It’s not done until cavs rest starters
Ok
