Opening Night Game Thread!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!: New York Knicks vs. Cleveland Cavaliers 10/22/25 7:00pm

[Red Vines]

Just feels like the Giannis situation is driving a lot of our decisions right now and for the next few months probably. It definitely doesn't feel like we're about to start a championship run.

[Capn'O]

We see the agenda.

Youre not fooling anyone. Don't think were going to let your Kentucky kat off the hook for getting another coach fired.

1 year, 1 conference finals! No knick has his track record!

Mikal is the one who pissed and moaned all year!

Kat killed thibs in minny and nyc amd youre blaming our 2 way Wong who single-handedly won the series against the Cs. Hell mikal was giving thibs coaching advice to save hos career while kat wasnt even playing defense.

We're on to you, Rob.

Wait, are you going pro-Mikal this year? He's gonna have a SEASON, innit?

Also:

2 way Wong

In case you ever need it, NoDope!

I remember when posters said he couldnt start next to Brunson and now we have posters wanting to start deuce.

Deuce is a guard who guards.

His defense isnt better than s
Donovans offense and his offense is worse than Donovan's defense.

Mitchell is a far better player than Deuce but next to Brunson we need a guard who guards.

Spoiler:

We also need a center who guards but who's counting.

i'm not negative at all. i think brown is worse than thibs. and i think it won't matter much. the east really sucks. if all we have to beat are the cavs and orlando, we're going to the finals. can we win it all ? meh lol

Not that I want this to happen but it would be pretty funny we lost the first 6 games and brown got fired again like he did with the lakers.

[Capn'O]

So, without Hart and Mitch it will be:

Starters
Cap
Deuce
Mikal
OG
KAT

Bench
Clarkson
Kolek
Diawara
Yabu
Huk

Situational
Shamet
Dadiet


If there's a silver lining here maybe Diawara can show up in the regular season like he did in the preseason. We might not have gotten to see it otherwise. Also, Deuce starting at the 2 bitches.

[NoDopeOnSundays]

Brown is a terrorist

Really interesting wording, really interesting.

Youre a demon.

How do I block someone from seeing my post? I dont want to end up on a TizzyEnt post cause I made fun of Mike brown.

I'm getting all this sent off to the ACLU and NAACP by the time I'm done, a lot of posters are going to be canceled.

I’m not sure what yall are talking about but anyway the writing is on the wall and Mike Brown will be a one and done coach. I think next summer we should look into Minnesota Timberwolves player development coach James White. Former Knick so he knows the culture. White would be a good hire!

They hired a shooting coach. Giannis is definitely going to be on the roster at some point.

I think there’d be a good chance that fat Yabu would start and that Shamet would be your back up 3. Didn’t love yabu’s preseason minutes but I thought him and towns looked okay together and having that extra size could help with Mobley and Allen.

[Capn'O]

The fact that Sam Cassell didn't get a shot really exposed the team's Earth bias. I never knew NYC had such a deep seated anti alien sentiment.

So it’s safe to say by the end of the season I’ll be in line for the presidential medal of freedom

Could also be Mitchell being on an expiring contract, and not willing to risk it before signing a new contract.

I can't imagine that would help his contract negotiations if he was healthy but just sitting not to risk injury from playing.

Did someone say "hos"? Pictures manadatory.

[thebuzzardman]

Mitch entire career load management

[thebuzzardman]

Preseason is preseason but I didn’t see one encouraging sign on offense or defense that would lead me to believe this team will be at or above.500 after 25 games

[thebuzzardman]

Cavs
Pistons
Magic
Bucks
Hawks
Celtics
Pacers
Knicks
Bulls
Heat
76ers

[thebuzzardman]

Knicks peaked last year. That’s it. Now begins the decline
