Why are the Cavs playing the Knicks on opening night?

[RoundMoundOfReb]

There are literally 28 opponents that would be more interesting than the Knicks (counting NBA teams only). Most relevant team in the NBA vs most irrelevant team.

[KyleKong]

Knicks that sacrificial lamb.

[Real14]

If the Knicks beat the Cavs, you best believe I'm going to remind your salty hating ass and you will NEVER hear the DAMN end of it!:no: :coleman:

Yeah for sure. Knicks will probably hang a "Beat Cleveland Cavaliers Once in Regular Season 2014" Banner as well

[Real14]

Yeah for sure. Knicks will probably hang a "Beat Cleveland Cavaliers Once in Regular Season 2014" Banner as well
No matter what you say this thread would be bumped like a mutha phucka if the knicks beat the cavs man. Keep underestimating my team man, season haven't begun yet.

[Sportal]

Maybe the point was to have a potential big upset on opening night. Would be a media circus if the Knicks won.

Don't you DARE try to act like it wouldn't mean anything if the Knicks won this game.

[RoundMoundOfReb]

Don't you DARE try to act like it wouldn't mean anything if the Knicks won this game.

It would mean everything. Just like when the 96 Raptors beat the 96 Bulls.

So the knicks are going to be the worst team in the east?:coleman:

Don't be surprised man.

Definitely wouldn't be more surprising than the Cavaliers winning the title

Knicks never will and never be the worst team. Stop reaching LeBron stan.

[Brizzly]

because knicks = money

[RoundMoundOfReb]

So the knicks are going to be the worst team in the east?:coleman:
They're the favorites ATM.

Btw, is there a Lakers vs Knicks primetime game this year? That's gonna be brutal to watch..:oldlol:

[RoundMoundOfReb]

I actually conducted a study that showed a link between being a Knicks fan and autism. PM me for the details.

[Real14]

If the Raptors have a worse record than the knicks this season, don't say nuttin.:no:

[outbreak]

But will they ever be contenders? probably not until they have the balls to rebuild and start aiming to fill win columns instead of seats.....

The knicks are the definition of mediocrity in the last few years. No hope or future right now. Just existing in irrelevance.

[Real14]

So that means being a raptors fan is being mentally handicapped since yall niguhz never made it to the damn 3rd round!:coleman: and probably never will!!:mad:

By last few years he means the last 14 years.

[MellowYellow]

By last few years he means the last 14 years.
Ok so throw in what, the Lakers, Celts, and Mavs

[Real14]

By last few years he means the last 14 years.
Yep, that's the last time and only time the craptors made the semis right? 14 years ago??:biggums:

[RoundMoundOfReb]

Ok so throw in what, the Lakers, Celts, and Mavs

No. Almost every team in the league has fielded a better team than any team the Knicks have in that span.

[Real14]

and that's why raptors made the playoffs and lost in round 1 four DAMN times since 02?:biggums: :biggums:

Exhibit A: Knicks fan with Autism.

I said last 14 years. Meaning from October 2000 - October 2014.

And the Raptors are pathetic because no one wants to play here. The Knicks being so irrelevant for such a long period of time whilst being the largest market in the league is just ridiculously pathetic.

[outbreak]

So how about Orlando?:coleman:

Wait what? we've been far more successful in recent history than the knicks.

I said 02 cuz I wanted to say 02. Still like I said before, yall made the semis in 2001 and never went back. Last time we made the semis was 2013.

[RoundMoundOfReb]

So how about Orlando?:coleman:

Late 00s/early 10s Magic were far better than any product the Knicks have put out.

[Real14]

Wait what? we've been far more successful in recent history than the knicks.

Yea in 2009:rolleyes:. Historically you already know niguh:no:

[Real14]

Late 00s/early 10s Magic were far better than any product the Knicks have put out.
:lol yea right. Like the magic didn't lose in the 1st round couple of those times:oldlol:. The Magic "recently" are hot volcano garbage. Niguhs haven't made the playoffs since 2012 and lost in the 1st round at that:facepalm .

[NugzFan]

If the Knicks beat the Cavs, you best believe I'm going to remind your salty hating ass and you will NEVER hear the DAMN end of it!:no: :coleman:

You love using the word salty.

[Real14]

Idk man, cuz that's what these niguhz are:confusedshrug:

[outbreak]

One team has been a competitor in the last 10 years and one hasn't....

One team will be rebuilt and competing again in another 2 years while the other is stuck with old ass players fighting for a bottom seed only to be knocked out first round yet again. Unless of course they pick up a new owner who actually cares about winning like I wish they'd done years ago.

[outbreak]

Idk man, cuz that's what these niguhz are:confusedshrug:

What's a "niguh"? And is your cousin posting here?

Yeah and they were only rated by ESPN as having the brightest future out of any team in the east based on their young talent and how they are proceeding with the rebuild.

[chazzy]

Market + Melo vs Lebron I guess

[Real14]

We were a competitor in 2013 bruh:no: and I know you aint talking about the tragic competing:roll:

[Real14]

ESPN sucks bro, they the same station that was on Lebron's jock since his 10th grade year. They exaggerate on many things.

[outbreak]

I'm talking about in real life not in your NBA2k save.

Espn predicted the Knicks collapse last season.

[Real14]

:biggums:

Knicks didn't win 54 games in 2013, Knicks didn't capture the 2nd seed in the EAST IN 2013, Knicks weren't the 2012-13 Atlantic div. champs???:biggums: :biggums: :biggums:

[Real14]

Espn predicted the Knicks collapse last season.
Yea the lucky guessing game:rolleyes: They didnt know that the knicks were going to have countless injuries tho:coleman:

[RoundMoundOfReb]

Knicks were a contender in 2013...to make it to the 2nd round. they peaked

[Real14]

Knicks were a contender in 2013...to make it to the 2nd round. they peaked
Raptors made the 2nd round in 2001. They peaked.

[RoundMoundOfReb]

Raptors made the 2nd round in 2001. They peaked.

This thread is about the Cavs and the Knicks not the Raptors. Please stop de-railing it.

And yes the Raptors have been pathetic historically...And i've explained why that is the case.

[MellowYellow]

My prediction

Knicks 104 Cavs 103

Melo makes last second 3 in Lebrons face to win the game.

Melo 33 9 5 on 13/21

Lebrick 22 5 9 on 7/15

K-love 29 11 5 on 10/21

Exhibit B: Another Knicks fan with a confirmed case of autism.

I actually conducted a study that showed a link between being a Knicks fan and autism. PM me for the details.

:roll:

[mentallooser]

First games of the season mean basically nothing. They are a media show with the purpose of showcasing new rosters and old rivalries. Winning or losing the first game of the season means essentially nothing in terms of how good/bad the team will actually be.

[Sarcastic]

OP got gang raped when he came to NY. It's why he has such animosity towards NY teams.

That explains it:oldlol:

[Bigsmoke]

The whole world wanna see Jose Calderon and Melo play some lockdown defense on Kyrie Irving and LeBron James

[SamuraiSWISH]

If it's @ MSG, I like that as an opening night matchup.

[Legends66NBA7]

They are facing the Bulls @ MSG, but are on the road against the Cavs.

[imdaman99]

Knicks will never be irrelevant because they will have pathetic bandwagoners like you making threads about them.

Try to talk about irrelevance about teams you don't make 10 threads a season on.

[jimmy77x]

I think a past knick banged his mom or something, this guy just has relentless unexplainable hate towards the knicks :lol

i guess i'm in the minority but i like this matchup... i hope melo goes ham.

I may root for the Knicks in this game.

[I<3NBA]

Frankly, I expected Cavs vs Heat

and then Cavs and OKC on Christmas

[BigTicket]

I don't think it really matters who the Cavs play on opening night, I'm just happy that their first game is in Cleveland. That first night should be all about the fans welcoming the new Cavs team, the opponent is much less relevant.

[Random_Guy]

im going to root for the knicks because im a fan of real14 aka the fresh doctor

according to ESPN.

[smoovegittar]

Espn predicted the Knicks collapse last season.
Yeah, because they brought in Bargnani, who reeked of Craptor shit.

Raptors will be bounced in first round if they even make it. Book it, yobo.

[ballinhun8]

Wait. OP how the FCK are you a Cavs fan? And Seahawks fan?



Man wtf people are such bandwagoners nowadays!!

[red1]

Yeah for sure. Knicks will probably hang a "Beat Cleveland Cavaliers Once in Regular Season 2014" Banner as well
