So we here for another round of knicks basketball .
6pm Game , probably interferes with some football but it’s whatever .

The Cavs are a little bit of a dicey matchup because of an undersized but explosive backcourt .
The saving grace is RJ is playing better than their SG. Also I like the knicks better at PF and SF. (Randle & Fournier.)

————————————-

General rotation per half :

Mitch-9 Noel-15
Randle -18 Obi-6
Fournier -18 Burks -6

1. Kemba- 16 Rose-8
2. Barrett-18 Burks-6

2nd half:

Mitch-10 Noel-14
Randle-18 Obi-6
Fournier -17 Burks-7

1. Walker -16 Rose-8
2.Barrett-18 Burks-6

—————————-
Went with Mitch as starter for lineup cohesiveness even though I prefer him from the bench .
Knicks gave sturdier more experienced lineup even if they are outmanned in the starting lineup .
Better more established coaching etc.
And as always , need good defensive effort in the garden to minimize the typical scrub to riches big game by the opposition.

Give max effort and hustle?

Play disruptive defense, maybe?

Shoot with confidence when open?

If open 3's aren't falling, maybe attack the paint?

Win.

They’re guards will definitely shred up Kemba for sure. But RJ gonna absolutely light up Markannen. Julius vs Mobley will be interesting. Robinson should take care of Allen.

Our bench makes their bench look like G leaguers. But since I said that they won’t miss one shot now :lol:

Game should be competitive at first but we should take

It takes one pick to free up a shooter. One pick and kemba or fournier crumbles. Rj and mitch has got to be quick on the switch up. And those two (evan and walker) has to cover up whoever is open on the corner because you bet it’s open after the screen.

If the cav’s has a score of 20+ at the 5min mark, sub out fournier and kemba fast.

So glad you made the game thread, but I hope we don't all have to live throught a FQOH (First Quarter of Hell) to get the win.

GO KNICKS!

Let's see if the Knicks can play 4 quarters of quality basketball

we have to win each individual quarter or it's a loss

When is the last time we played anyone with a losing record?

This Cavs team is surprisingly good. They play hard. Won’t be an easy one like years past against them

stuporman · Post #16 » by **stuporman** » Sun Nov 7, 2021 5:46 am

The Cavs are no joke, this strikes me as one of those teams that the Knicks will have a tough time matching up with.

LEEEGGOOOOOO!

Lauri is out right? They won’t be doing the 3 bigs lineup?

Who are the Sexton scouts here for this game? Identify yourselves!

Adelheid · Post #19 » by **Adelheid** » Sun Nov 7, 2021 12:43 pm

Knicks are not in the position to sleep on any team out there. Just hoping the players realize that

Evan Mobley looking good so far. Very impactful rook

Should we rest our starters until the playoffs? Oh we not there yet? Got ahead of myself :lol:

I kid i kid, not a fan of that anyway
