[Highlight] Josh Hart makes the wide open triple to put the Knicks up 18 in the 3rd quarter. He is 4⁄9 from 3 now.
Guys I’m not sure if he found his shot yet, just keep leaving him open to make sure.
do we know if he acts goofy in Q1 just to throw them off lmao
He’s been off lately but was only a matter of time before he got hot
The ol’ rope-a-dope
They did, and he hit another lol!
Ya I’m all for the strategy to begin with but when a guy starts getting hit you might wanna adjust the strategy.
This is more so like with what Caruso has done vs Spurs.
Why don’t the Cavs try guarding Josh Hart? Are they stupid?
Because it’s the defensive gameplan. They’ll take a Hart three over Brunson or KAT on an island
It really is a damned if you do damned if you don’t situation when the guy you are ghosting starts knocking down shots
Because either you throw away the gameplan and adjust or you have to hope the guy regresses back
Yup and they’re funneling it right to where they want it but fair play he’s knocking them down
You switched it up now with trying some zone and blitzing brunson but that just leaves the other 3 defenders scrambling against 4 Knicks and having to watch Brunson’s dribble penetration threat
The defensive gameplan isn’t working
Would you say the same about the spurs in game one with Caruso? Brunson and KAT only have 22 points combined.
The problem is the Cavs can’t hit shots on the other end.
You just allowed an 18 point run, it’s not working
Because we didn’t score for over five minutes. That’s the problem
Also because the Knicks scored. Why couldnt both teams not score?
That’s the problem
Right, the Cavs not scoring for over five minutes means that the Knicks could score 32 in the 3rd quarter. The defensive gameplan is great!
Lmao bing bong
Would you say the same about the spurs in game one with Caruso?
Yes.
Brunson and KAT only have 22 points combined. The problem is the Cavs can’t hit shots on the other end.
Brunson and KAT only have 22 points combined.
Not the only problem. Knicks have 85 points after three quarters. The defensive gameplan isn’t working.
That’s ridiculous because when you implement something like this it’s process over results. It’s a win when that’s where the shot comes from and fair play if he knocks them down.
85 after three so still below their playoff average.
Their playoff average is blowing teams out by 30
Hart is torching them and they are going to lose by 20.
Very poor gameplan.
And he went 1⁄5 in game one. Didn’t hear anybody about it then. He’s knocking them down but you live with it
Well he was guarded in game 1.
You can’t just decide to not guard him at all and expect the same result…
No we didn’t. We did the same thing and put Allen on him and left him open
The defensive game plan isn’t working. They aren’t adjusting.
see, is not the HantaVirus, is the HardenVirus, he infected the team.
it’s like when you don’t study for the test so you have an excuse when you fail it
They should at least guard him the rest of the night clearly
Josh Hart shot 41% from 3 this season
Shhhhh dont tell the Cavs!
The people who just exist to go WHY DO THEY KEEP TAKING 3’S when a team has a bad 3 point shooting game never remember or even really notice games like this one. The Knicks started off like 1-7 from 3 and some of Hart’s looked pretty bad, to the point that it looked like one of those games where people want you to stop shooting them. They just kept playing their offense, and now they’re having a good game overall.
Same with last game, poor 3pt shooting early and then Shamet/Bridges/Brunson were like 6 of 7 during the comeback and OT.
When did Alex Caruso check in?
I love you hart
When Hart makes 3s the team is unbeatable
Okay magic
He started off like 0-3 or 0-4
What exactly was Cleveland’s strategy here?
“Maybe he’ll miss.”
Terrible game plan from the Cavs coaching staff. Kenny is on fraud watch. Seriously some terrible execution
How tf is this guy shooting 50% from 3 while Merrill can’t make an open bucket
Wait til he becomes Azumerrill
Azumerrill only gets huge power or thick fat when he needs the sniper ability tho.
What is this feeling I’m experiencing? It’s not disappointment, so I don’t really recognize it.
That’s my boyyy
I don’t expect it, but I’ll take it.
Screw them picks i guess
Wrong player.
Knicks only get hot when hitting threes. Otherwise paper tigers
Brunson killed them in the midrange game 1
We have several midrange snipers, casual.
ECF is a snoozefest
Someone didn’t watch game 1 lol
Spurs fan jerking off to losing is an interesting flex
