Not puttibg Randle back in the game was a huge change for Thibs and it won us this game. His head and possibly his body was not in this game. Mitch was amazing, but the Cavs got too many layups in the third. Then Hartenstein came in and protected the rim. That man is one of the most underrated defensive players in the NBA.

28 seconds of SAS that's actually tolerable...

Amazing how "..he's a superstar but it just wasn't his day" is a valid excuse from the media for any athlete who has a bad game who isn't wearing orange and blue.

I’m super glad he is healthy now.

I can’t wait to see what unfolds for him next year when he gets his 3point mojo back. And when he gets back to full time passing out of the high post area

Quickley 0/4 0 pts today. If he and Randle actually get going, we are title contenders!

I thought IQ would have a better game on offense, but his D was stellar. Found other ways to contribute.

Super gratifying win in the Garden. Feels amazing. Notwithstanding built in fear of worst outcome, we deserve it. More importantly this team deserves it, from the coach down. Different players have taken turns stepping up. Easy team to root for. I actually have a little bit of confidence they will finish their business!

Josh Hart adds so much to this team. Our guys are playing damn good ball for a team that is missing it’s 3s. Gutting out the wins. Extra effort on defense and rebounding.

Love that Barrett is playing with confidence. He shot 75% from 2.

McBride’s D on Mitchell should not be overlooked. He knocked the confidence from that guy. He is not a throw in for a trade. Keep eyes on McBride.

Great job by JB passing out of the double-teams. Great job by his teammates making themselves available.

And oh yeah - DEE-fense!

Except Garland got pretty quiet as soon as IQ came in the game and D’d him up

its why Im soft on IQ and tough on RJ. RJ's bad shooting games are usually accompanied by defensive lapses and TOs. IQ does all these other things and we just play better. That being said when we get StaRJ this Knick team is a nightmare. The way we defend and rebound and the way Brunson scores you really just need ONE MORE guy and game 1 was JHart but games 3/4 have been RJ and that's gotta really trash Cle's plans.
Rookie @ 4/23/2023 4:23 PM
Sitting Randle and RJ attacking Mobley and getting his 4th foul was huge. I’ll take a full season of crappy RJ as long as we get playoff RJ. Happy for the kid. Hart is just unbelievably clutch. IHart same. What a great win.

Obi was fantastic. He got me off the chair hooting and hollering. RJ/Obi were the two guys in the rotation playing the poorest to finish the season. THOSE TWO GUYS PHUCKING WON THE GAME FOR US.

Im starting to think there's another level to unlock for this team and we might be seeing in real time

VDesai @ 4/23/2023 4:30 PM
Obi is a high energy player who can change the tone of the game. He did this a bit in the Atlanta series, but again in this series. Its a slow game and then he comes in and the pace picks up. He was active getting his hands on the ball. Those dunks and 3's when he brings it are momentum shifters and crowd pleasers at home

Knicks are REALLY close to this.

I can’t imagine the same Knicks team next year not being a FORCE

Uptown @ 4/23/2023 4:40 PM
Brunson has been the best guard in this series and Robinson is the best big...those were 2 advantages some thought the Cavs had over us in this series.
LivingLegend @ 4/23/2023 4:42 PM
I have busted his balls quite often but I couldn’t be more PROUD of RJ BARRETT.

TRADE Jules - lol -
