GT: Knicks vs. Cavs | MON 10.28 @ 7:30p on MSG

[Capn'O]

This game will be a good barometer as the Cavs are a bigger, defensive team. I think we stomp em.

I was saying that in the pg thread and people were taking that as if I was saying the cavs are better They also got a coaching upgrade in Kenny Atkinson who seems to have unlocked the cavs offense. This should be a good one.

Made sense to me

[Guano]

This gonna be an interesting one for the Knicks. If Mitch or iHart were around, I'd be more confident in us bullying their asses. I'm definitely gonna be watching how KAT plays, to see if he has that toughness. On offense, it'll be interesting if we can drag their bigs out to the perimeter.

Woul be nice to have mitch for this one. He dominates them.

[NYKnickerbocker]

Cavs ain’t unlocking **** if Mobley is still a mediocre shooter/stiff on offense lol. Should be a good game as always tho. Gunna be fun to see if Og and Mikal can make Spida and Garlands life miserable

[Reign23]

schedule to begin the season is just crazy. lets get this!

[Iron Mantis]

Jarrett Allen 10-10 FG with 23 points in 25 mins.....seriously?

What kind of defense were the Wizards playing?

[thebuzzardman]

Just beat this team so we don't have to hear from the Kenny Atkinson fanboys for a week

I think they're better than the Pacers since they got Kenny now too. 3-0 to start the season and they've been pretty dominant (although it's against bad teams but my point stands).

Do they suck at shooting 3s? Easy win if so. If not it’s gonna be a long one

BETTER to see where we stand WITHOUT him. Then we can see if we need another 5 till he returns.

I hope they're great at 3s so we can see if we need to RETOOL the D or if it was just an off night vs Boston.

Good as our guys are - they're going against smaller and presumably faster players here. 1&2 vs 3&4 (Mikal is a natural 3).

The Pacers and the Cavs are the kind of mid-level playoff teams I want to grind down to bone in our first regular season meeting and make them feel helpless against us going forwards. One down, One to go.

Crush these MFs boyz

[TKKnicks1]

We match up real well with the Cavs and our length should be a problem for them. I am thinking Thibs puts Hart on Garland and Mikal on Mitchell. OG roams as a secondary defender which he's been excelling at.

[Iron Mantis]

Cavs are a talented team but the Knicks are better.

Just win

Nice cupcake opening sched for the Cavs
Raptors
Pistons
Wizards

This will be their first real test and the sched makers didn't do the Knicks any favors to build chemistry with

Celtics
Pacers
Cavs

Sometimes when you play a bunch of cupcakes and then have a huge step up first time in the season it can be a humbling experience especially on the road.

Hopefully we take it to them like we did the Pacers. Pacers once we began switching well in our defensive sets couldn't match our intensity.

Interested to see how we handle their bigs. We are still kind of in a feeling out process for how to best utilize our guys especially defensively.

We also have McBride if we need to for more minutes at the 2 or 1.

Coaching change is likely an upgrade for them. I dont like that we don't have either Achiuwa or Mitch for this game but it is what it is.

Will be a good test to play a team with a bit of a different dynamic and see how they do defensively.

Yeah, and it should be interesting to see how KAT handles their front court. Im hoping he is able to dominate them.
