It's ridiculous. We should be able to beat them.

Sixers, Hawks, Rockets, all beat the Cavs.... so we know they're not invincible.

We beat the Sixers, Hawks, Rockets, but we can't even stay within 30 points of the Cavs? :lol:


Coaching matters.


johnnie bryant is on their bench; he knows the knicks' kryptonite

it also doesnt help that the new pieces dont have good chemistry with the old pieces

They gave us a lot of props before the Boston game because it was supposed to be a big game between two “contenders”.

I just want to see them put up a fight. There has been absolutely zero pride shown by this team against elite competition. It’s disheartening to see. Mitch, OG and Hart doesn’t change that. It’s a coaching problem. It’s also mentality problem. This team lacks heart.

Also, epm isn’t a good stat for rankings unless you think Fred van fleet is one of the best players in the league. Jaylen Brown is worst then Mikal too

The highest paid player on the team OG when seeing everyone blaming everyone else but him after scoring 5 pts with 0 rebounds 0 assists and looking like a 65 year old at the JCC tonight.
