New York Knicks (35-21) vs. Cleveland Cavaliers (20-39), 7:00 PM EST

[bagelred]

Insert elaborate Game Preview here.

[Clutch]

I hope the Knicks win this one in a blowout. If it's a close game or even worse,the Cavs are winning in a blowout,it will be so painful to listen those homer Cavs announcers.

[SevereUpInHere]

I can't deal with other announcers, anyone got a MSG link?

[Scoooter]

James White is an NBA starter. Who'd have thought?

[bagelred]

James White is an NBA starter. Who'd have thought?

He's just a place holder. I think we have to get out of the "starter/bench" mentality. Just look at minutes played.

[bagelred]

Every Knicks game, the Knicks make a mere mortal player look like a superstar.

Marreese Speights....this is your night.

[Scoooter]

He's just a place holder. I think we have to get out of the "starter/bench" mentality. Just look at minutes played.
A place holder for who? Steve Novak?

[Clutch]

Knicks defense :facepalm

To be honest I wasn't expecting an easy game,I seriously can't remember the last time the Knicks won in Cleveland.

[Scoooter]

We are the New York Knicks.

[imdaman99]

speights gonna play dominant :facepalm

[Clutch]

Just a disaster. I don't know why I'm even watching games in Cleveland anymore. Same sh*t every time.

[bagelred]

A place holder for who? Steve Novak?

Well Jason Kidd, really.....I think Prigioni is hurt.

Woodson likes to have Amare, JR, Novak, and now Kidd coming off the bench. So he just puts in White for like 5/6 minutes, until bench players come in...and then you won't see White again until beginning of 3rd quarter.

My question is....why not Copeland instead of White? Copeland must have really p-ssed someone off...seems he's in the doghouse.

[shady6121]

One of the worst shooting teams in the league shitting all over the Knicks defense smh. :facepalm

[SevereUpInHere]

Every Knicks game, the Knicks make a mere mortal player look like a superstar.

Marreese Speights....this is your night.

He's going for Curry's season record.

[bagelred]

Steve Novak.....better at 4 pointers than 3 pointers.

[bagelred]

Who is that old man Knicks just put in....he looks vaguely familiar.

[SevereUpInHere]

Man, irving's game is so nice. Kidd is too slow to keep up with him. Love to see how Shump does on him.

Where is Copeland, he's not even listed on espn, and same deal last game, didn't even get a DNP CD. Just nothing.

[imdaman99]

cavs could put their B team on the floor for 48 mins and they would beat the knicks everytime... they never win in cleveland. for fcksake, tired of watching pathetic defense. no consistency. i need a vacation from the knicks. if i dont, ill start balding soon.

[bagelred]

Knicks showing true selves again. Can't stop the worst shooting team from scoring.

[RedBlackAttack]

Luke Walton has 7 assists with 10 minutes to play in the 2nd quarter.

So... That happened.

[shady6121]

Luke Walton shitting on the Knicks wtf. :facepalm

[Clutch]

Am I seeing it right ? Cavs are shooting 77% from the field.

It can hardly get any worse than that.

[Mr. I'm So Rad]

Luke Walton has 7 assists with 10 minutes to play in the 2nd quarter.

So... That happened.

Besides injuries and his neck, probably the only thing he inherited from his dad was his passing ability/creativity.

[bagelred]

Cavaliers are shooting 77%........why......why.......

[RedBlackAttack]

Besides injuries and his neck, probably the only thing he inherited from his dad was his passing ability/creativity.
He's been playing well the last couple months. Have to tip my hat to him. I never thought he would make it through this season without getting cut. Turns out, he's been a nice piece coming off the bench.

And, yeah... He is a skilled passer. Much like his pops.

UPDATE: 8 minutes, 8 assists

[bagelred]

It can hardly get any worse than that.


It's 78%. Just got worse.

[bagelred]

79%

[RedBlackAttack]

Cavaliers are shooting 77%........why......why.......
Make it 79.2%. :eek:

[LikeABosh]

With 9 minutes to go in the 2nd Q. Marreese Speights 7 for 7 shooting and Luke Walton with 8 assists http://d22zlbw5ff7yk5.cloudfront.net/images/cm-19446-0503fbdf79e815.jpeg

[imnew09]

Knicks are horrible.

[Clutch]

I've seen enough. Have a nice evening guys,I'm going to get some sleep.

[RedBlackAttack]

Luke Walton is on pace for 26 assists.

[ClutchOver9000]

Am I seeing it right ? Cavs are shooting 77% from the field.

It can hardly get any worse than that.

Watch their FG% shoot up to 80% by the end of the half :lol

[RoundMoundOfReb]

Luke Walton is on pace for 26 assists.
:bowdown:

[RedBlackAttack]

Oh my god.

Clowning on the Knicks.

[bagelred]

80.8%

[Black Joker]

Cavs scoring all of the points

[Scoooter]

They'll cool off at halftime.

[ClutchOver9000]

New York Knicks :pimp:

:applause: Cavs dont want none of this...

[RedBlackAttack]

80.8%
81.5%

[bagelred]

81.5%

[RedBlackAttack]

81.5%
22-for-27 :eek:

[DaSeba5]

The Knicks look like a deflated team right now. There is no energy.

[PleezeBelieve]

Another playoff team getting served. You dudes on notice for next season.

[brandonislegend]

Glad Kyrie is back

[bagelred]

I wonder what the record is for a half % wise.

[ClutchOver9000]

:roll: Chandler devolved back to Magikarp

[Black Joker]

Cavs with 18 assists. Knicks with 10 fgs. this is just crazy

[ClutchOver9000]

the Heat apparently took our souls yesterday...

[bagelred]

Melo trips over his own feet. Kinda sums up the game.

[imdaman99]

i want the cavs to set a record. whats the record for FG% for a half and a game? smh they missed 2 in a row

[RedBlackAttack]

Was that a pass by JR Smith? :oldlol:

The old shot/pass.

[ClutchOver9000]

Woodson starting to look like Mike Brown...

[albas89]

Melo to the locker room?? omg, what a nightmare of a game for the Knicks fans...:(

[ClutchOver9000]

Smith should continue attacking the basket

[RedBlackAttack]

Game is far from over. I've seen the Cavs blow some huge leads this year.

[Black Joker]

Game is far from over. I've seen the Cavs blow some huge leads this year.
especially if we go into our usual 3rd Qtr funk

[bagelred]

That JR Smith lazy pass reminded me of yesterday.

[ClutchOver9000]

Speightsanity

[ClutchOver9000]

:applause: back to single digits

[SevereUpInHere]

We're back in this.

This commentator is ridiculous :oldlol: Like a drunken uncle sitting next to you talking over the game you're trying to watch. :oldlol:

[bagelred]

Melo

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooo

[RedBlackAttack]

We're back in this.

This commentator is ridiculous :oldlol: Like a drunken uncle sitting next to you talking over the game you're trying to watch. :oldlol:
He's the replacement guy. Sounds terrible.

Wait.. You talking about AC or Phelps? AC is the man.

[ClutchOver9000]

Speights sliders are at 100

[SevereUpInHere]

He's the replacement guy. Sounds terrible.

Wait.. You talking about AC or Phelps? AC is the man.


Nah, I've definitely heard him before, I guess it's AC.

[Black Joker]

perfect Speights

[albas89]

Speights looks like Karl Malone out there...:lol

[RoundMoundOfReb]

Speights :bowdown:

[RedBlackAttack]

Nah, I've definitely heard him before, I guess it's AC.
I think Phelps is throwing AC off his game.

[brandonislegend]

First parsons yesterday 10-10 at half time, now Speights :wtf:

[KG215]

Holy s**t, Speights has 21 on 10/10 shooting?

[RedBlackAttack]

Holy s**t, Speights has 21 on 10/10 shooting?
Those aren't your assisted 2-footers that you would expect out of most big men, either...

Jumpers from all over the floor. He is out of his mind.

[Droid101]

Hey guys what's going on in this ga...

[bagelred]

Hey guys what's going on in this ga...

http://www.inflatechan.net/furry/src/135708543036.jpg

Knicks were asleep, Cavs hit every shot they took, Melo injured and out for game.

[KG215]

Those aren't your assisted 2-footers that you would expect out of most big men, either...

Jumpers from all over the floor. He is out of his mind.
Yeah, and it doesn't surprise me. He was the biggest key in leading the comeback int he 3rd quarter over the Thunder with Kyrie on the bench, and it seemed like he made every 15-18 foot jumper he took during the run.

[Droid101]

Knicks were asleep, Cavs hit every shot they took, Melo injured and out for game.
And Luke Walton is now Oscar Robertson?

[KG215]

No Melo, but the Knicks still start the 3rd quarter on a 6-0 run.

[bagelred]

Speights misses shot badly.

Clyde Frazier "That's the Speights WE know...."


:roll: :roll: :roll:

[bagelred]

And Luke Walton is now Oscar Robertson?

Yes, except for the black/white thing.

[bagelred]

If Shumpert is our defensive stopper, then why the f-ck doesn't he guard Irving? :hammerhead:

[Droid101]

Should have ridden his hot roster.

[ClutchOver9000]

oh snap, we got a game...

[Sarcastic]

Amar'e with the sick dunk.

[bagelred]

Melo is out. Good thing we have a superstar just sitting on the bench waiting.


STAT.

[Sarcastic]

Now that Melo is injured, do you think he Woodson will bring him off the bench.

[Scoooter]

If Shumpert is our defensive stopper, then why the f-ck doesn't he guard Irving? :hammerhead:
He can't anymore, he shredded his knee. Stop it.

[Scoooter]

Now that Melo is injured, do you think he Woodson will bring him off the bench.
:lol

[ClutchOver9000]

JR Smith :oldlol:

[Scoooter]

JR Smith still an idiot.

[Black Joker]

ugh our 3rd qtrs are the worst

[bagelred]

Tied....for a split second.

[Draz]

Choke

[Suckafree]

Melo is out. Good thing we have a superstar just sitting on the bench waiting.


STAT.

By far the funniest joke you've ever posted on here. Bravo :applause:

[Draz]

LOL "his form is atrocious"

[Draz]

Camby's still a knick? lol

[bagelred]

Novakaine is back!!!....for the moment.

[imdaman99]

knicks with the lead, holy bijebus :eek:

[Black Joker]

yeah, knew the Knicks would get back into this game

[imnew09]

I was using that one but I can't full screen it...

[brandonislegend]

Kyrie handle is incredible

[Sarcastic]

Finally what we've all been waiting for. Amar'e and STAT playing together.

[Scoooter]

The most underrated and arguably important aspect of offensive basketball is being able to move without the ball. It's something of a lost art in this league.

[Scoooter]

Jesus Raymond...

[SevereUpInHere]

This is the Kidd I know and love, good to have him back :bowdown:

[Draz]

Good block.

[imnew09]

Can't wait until Kyrie comes to the Lakers!

[SevereUpInHere]

Good block.

My link is glitchy, was that clean?

[brandonislegend]

The Cavs got 3 wide open 3 pointers and didn't make any of them.

[Scoooter]

Stat.

[Draz]

My link is glitchy, was that clean?

Looked clean to me.

Stat going big for us!

[imnew09]

Cavs commentator salty as fk :oldlol: :oldlol: :oldlol:

[Sarcastic]

I thought Amar'e can't close games?

[ClutchOver9000]

holy jeesus, STAT...

[It's A VC3!!!]

Why isn't the hook being called against stat? this his the second time in a row he's done it..

[ClutchOver9000]

:lol Alan Hahn and Wally dont know they're on air

[Draz]

What a block ..

[SevereUpInHere]

F*ck , what a block :(

[Scoooter]

Why take a big off the floor and give up a layup? And holy shit, Thompson swatted the piss out of that.

[SevereUpInHere]

Kyrie is gonna win this now :(

[Scoooter]

Nice hustle from Kidd.

[SevereUpInHere]

Tyson's tips have won us a number of games lately

Hopefully I havne't spoken too soon

[magic14]

lol how is Chandler so good at tipping it?

[Draz]

Lol Denied!

[imdaman99]

i cant tell whether i find the cavs commentator funny or annoying... maybe a mixture of both :lol

[SevereUpInHere]

Thank f*ck for Chandler

[imnew09]

i cant tell whether i find the cavs commentator funny or annoying... maybe a mixture of both :lol


they're salty. Especially when Lebron left lol

[brandonislegend]

Damn great game.

[Scoooter]

After losing 10 consecutive in Cleveland, the Knicks break the streak without Melo.

[ClutchOver9000]

I cant believe we won this game :lol

[imdaman99]

why isnt the salty cavs announcer repeating "get that weak stuff outa here" over and over after chandler swats the shit outa kyrie :roll:

[imdaman99]

knicks come back from 22 pt deficit :bowdown:

team game without melo... blessing in disguise? i say hell yes, they got a chance to feature amare :pimp:

[shady6121]

why isnt the salty cavs announcer repeating "get that weak stuff outa here" over and over after chandler swats the shit outa kyrie :roll:

:lol

[RedBlackAttack]

why isnt the salty cavs announcer repeating "get that weak stuff outa here" over and over after chandler swats the shit outa kyrie :roll:
Why on earth would the Cavs' own announcer do that? I know it was a strange game, but that would have been the most bizarre moment of the entire night.

That was about as bad a loss as a 20-win team can have.

[Draz]

For some reason we DO NOT match up with the Cavs. THEY ALWAYS wreck us like wtf.

[Y2Gezee]

Amare played great. Not really surprising, he's been playing great for a while, but he actually got shots and minutes.

He basically filled in for Melo, but the difference in the game was that guys did ultimately finish and hit shots today.

But Amare has to play more.

[NattyPButter]

Just got done watching the game. WTF is up with Byron Scott having only TT as the only big at the last few seconds of the 4th QT. That cost them the game I would put Speights and TT at the same time that way Amare wouldn't had back down my little guard. It didn't happen but the problem came when Amare missed his jumper and nothing but guards were trying to rebound the ball against Chandler. Wait actually it really wasn't his fault since the Cavs had a 22pt lead and failed hard.

[RoundMoundOfReb]

Cavs are a playoff team next year imo. Probably more beneficial for them to lose games at this point for a better pick.

[SevereUpInHere]

Cavs are a playoff team next year imo. Probably more beneficial for them to lose games at this point for a better pick.


I definitely see them making it next year assuming everyone is healthy. With Dirk not his regular self, Kyrie is probably my favourite non Knick in the league.

[NewYorkNoPicks]

Really annoying that they were able to acquire Speights for a second round pick...he has holes in his game but hes anreal nice offensive contributor....solid piece for any team, great value.

[willds09]

CAVALIERZ:lol

[chips93]

Really annoying that they were able to acquire Speights for a second round pick...he has holes in his game but hes anreal nice offensive contributor....solid piece for any team, great value.

actually we traded jon leuer (played in 16 games, averaged 7mpg) for speights, ellington, selby, and a first rounder in 2015, if it falls in the 5-15 range, or just top five protected in 2017 and 2018

it really shows how valuable cap space is, just to be avbailable to take on salary, you can pick up really solid assets, because teams just want to dump salary, and are willing to give you assets just to do it.

[niko]

Cavs need better players, Irving is sick but everyone else is "eh". The other young guys don't look like upper level starters either. I'm sure the Cav fans tell me that's false but you lose most of the time every year, there's a reason. Knicks played terrible in until a few minutes left in the first half. Didn't really play smart for about half the second half either, so many bad shots.

But winning is winning. Showed some guts digging it out. Amare was strong but he needs to stop pausing under the basket so long adn allowing everyone to collapse on him.
