[All-Access] A view from the crowd in Cleveland as Jalen Brunson sinks the 3-pointer. New York leads by 20 points early in Game 4.
Cavs just gave up already wth
To quote a famous New York fable, “now youse can’t leave.”
A bronx tale is based on the real childhood experiences of Chazz Palminteri, who in real life was Calogero© and in the film played Sonny. That scene in the bar with the bikers? That really happened!
The real life Sonny did own a bar. Sonny did ask them to leave. He did lock the door. The bikers did walk in and poor beer on the counter. Sonny and associates did beat up the bikers. They really did damage their motorcycles.
The only thing that didn’t happen? Your quote! So it’s less of a fable, and more of a dramatization.
The way Mitchell was talking after game 3, they gave up way before tonight
I think they’re just a bad team.
Nah, they just all quit on Kenny Atkinson after how game 1 ended.
They’re just gassed. They’ve played 4 more games than us and pretty much no rest.
And their spirits are straight up shattered
Yeah this one was over after game 1
No more than one day off since April 26th, our legs are jelly and mentally we were defeated for good end of game 1
Raptors or boston could easily make the game more interesting if they’re against the Knicks.
Harden is a playoff bum and no amount of regular season stats could change that
Lmao the Raptors? The Knicks are 13-0 in their last 13 with them. They match up poorly with the Knicks.
Raptors were the one team in the East that would’ve had an absolutely 0% chance of doing anything
A well rested Raps team would have gave the Knicks some trouble.
No the fuck they couldn’t LMAO everyone who wants to disrespect this Knicks team has too much lolknicks syndrome going on
Out there legit standing around, at this point it’ll be better for my mental health if the series ends tonight anyways
Doesn’t look good for Cavs but how are they doing analytically?
Dont worry we will be 2-2 on expected wins after this game. Series tied all to play for lesgo
Does Atkinson ever live that one down?
Are you going to let him?
I understand what he was trying to say.
That the process has been what they wanted, but that the results have not.
He just said it in a fashion that is gonna live in infamy. Especially after what Josh Hart said in his press conference about analytics.
Damn, poor Atkinson. It sounds like he will never live it down :(
I mean take that for data. Lmao its come full circle.
They are beating the Knicks 3-0 in the series analytically so no worries if they lose one. Still a 3-1 lead
Nobody in NBA history has come back from being down 3-0 analytically to win a series. Knicks are cooked
Close to the Lakers moral victory sweep of the Nuggets a few years ago
Cavs win series 7 -1. 1st time in NBA history.
Atkinson was humble, he only said they were up 2-1 analytically before this game
Analytically, they’ve been in Cancun since the final 7 minutes of game one.
Maybe the real wins were the games we lost along the way
As a Knick fan, in response to a Piston fan
I hope you personally are not correct
Pretty sure it’s a clean sweep
Paper tigers every year man, Cleveland won’t be fooling anyone anymore I don’t expect
They weren’t really fooling anyone this year and still stumbled into the ECF
They didn’t fool me this year lol adding Harden for “playoff experience” was an absolute Hail Mary like this might be the year he pops off and banishes his demons but there wasn’t any other move to make when Garland didn’t work out.
Mobley and Allen actually showed up more than I thought in huge moments and made the next step imo, but our front court is just weak, Mitchell needs a true all star guard next to him and we need someone off the bench that can handle the offense when Mitchell subs out.
Jazz of the East.
made it farther than your team bro, stay in your lane in the west
They looked legit in the regular season but playoffs just hit different. Brunson’s been living in their heads rent free this series.
Harden is a fucking bum
Morey told no lies
He did when he said Harden was better offensively than Jordan & Kobe
that was when Harden was still on the team and Morey had to appease him
Is the idea here that Harden now sucking proves Morey did not lie to him in the past? Or am I missing a different Morey/Harden thing?
Most likely scenario is Morey promised him and then got cold feet after that year’s playoff flameout.
fuck Harden got to do with this dumbass, Spida is the star of this team
and Don had 12 points in 1st quarter
Harden is bricking shots, turning ball over, getting cooked on defense
Donovan waited until Cavs were down 3-0 to show up. He is just out there stat padding at this point.
what is blud smoking. Don was already red hot to give Cavs the lead early
Were Cavs not down 3-0 at the start of this game? Blud doesn’t know how to read
what is blud smoking. Don had 29/5/3 and 6 steals in G1
How about that G1 fourth quarter, game 2 and game 3?
how about the other 3 quraters?
26 in G2 and 23 in G3?
Now show his TS%, on/off and FG% allowed
Um maybe the fact he’s on the roster
he’s not on your team anymore bro you don’t gotta cope still
Soften was brought into be the second star, providing valuable playmaking and scoring. He’s playing like a bum so far this series.
Harden’s an old man. He’s not to blame for this. Mobley is supposed to be the best or 2nd best player on this team.
Can’t believe people were arguing Mobley > Barnes during their first two years. It’s clear now
I’m so confused, Harden is nowhere near this play. Brunson is shooting it over Dean Wade lol
What is this now, 10 games of historic shot making now? Feels like every shot is going in
maybe this is just how they are
That’s what I’m implying. Not sure why anybody would count them out at this point when it’s gone on for two and a half series
yet people gonna continue to act like whoever comes out of the West is gonna sweep us, hope we blow em out game 1 and peoples brains just break
Idk what the common consensus is at this point but I’ve been thinking for a few games now that the Knicks might just be straight up favorites if the opponent is San Antonio. Against OKC they wouldn’t be favorites, but I think anyone counting them out at this point would be foolish.
Not us
If you lose by double digits game one I will be returning to this
I mean, that’d basically be proving my point. Also we’re not in the finals yet
mb I thought you were saying you WONT get blown out no matter what
I don’t think any team is going to sweep the finals, all squads are too good for that, I expect 6 games at least
not saying it’s the same situation, but the 8th seed heat a few years ago also had insane shotmaking to make the finals
I looked it up and the Heat shot 46 percent from the field and 34 from three.
Knicks before tonight at 52 from the field and 40 from three.
Just insane
As a Spurs fan the knicks are the only team I’m not confident about in a series. Whenever we played them they hit every damn shot.
And OKC?
OkC is a better matchup for Spurs. Doesn’t mean they will win the series but it’s a better matchup.
The Knicks were the only team that San Antonio truly struggled against.
For real, it’s getting ridiculous at this point. Brunson’s been in straight-up video game mode this whole series.
Rust Belt MSG
Genuinely wondering where all the Knicks fans in the audience are from. Is there a NY diaspora in Cleveland or are New Yorkers flying out for this?
Its cheaper to buy a ticket to this game and fly from NY then it is to go to a game in NY.
You don’t need to fly from NY to Cleveland lol
It’s over an 8 hour drive. You don’t need to fly but you could probably get some cheap ass Spi- well I guess Frontier tickets, cheap hotel, and fly back and it’ll be cheaper than driving.
knicks fans are fucking everywhere lol, i went to a Suns game to see the knicks and i was shocked by how many knicks jerseys i saw
Knicks are New York’s team, it’s a big state, I’m sure plenty of people made the flight / drive out from the NYC area but like Buffalo is only like a 2hr drive from Cleveland, would not be a crazy trip at all for people from Western NY
This isn’t happening lol
It is. Accept it. Hehehehehe
Brunson saw the Knicks were in trouble and just said “fine I’ll do it myself” lmao
Knicks are gonna have a 2 week break at this rate lmao
honestly if they close this out tonight they might be the healthiest team in the second round with how banged up everyone else is lmao
Harden is done. Absolute defensive liability
what does harden have to do with the play?
Biggest tell that someone doesn’t know ball is just defaulting to Harden jokes.
This whole series he’s been a traffic cone on defense. And offensively ass too.
He’s not tried like 5 times at this point.
His shot is a way bigger concern for me. Like there are traffic cones all over the league but you HAVE to produce on offense for it to work at all. Hes bricking everything its wild, he does not seem like the same player from earlier in the season with the clippers
Harden has been a traffic cone his entire career
i mean, he’s always been like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yts0BjOYDys&t=46s
It is happening again
lmao the PTSD is real for Cavs fans. Every time a Knicks guard hits a three in the playoffs it’s like a flashback to 2023.
Cavs I know you want to give us Jarrett Allen for Knecht and filler /s
Knecht still exists?
What is the defense lol
Harden defense
JB Bickerstaff, you will not see the pearly gates
I wonder what the Cavs do after this. Trade Mitchell?
Tbh maybe. You either trade Mitch for a haul and maybe use that hall to actually pick new players, or trade for another superstar.
Or you trade the core but Mitchell for a haul and start a mini rebuild around the last of Mitchell’s better years.
Not saying one it better over the other, but those are the best options imo.
has to be a rebuild, their salary is so fked. Might actually be building around Mobley.
Brunson: “I was told there were hearts available for snatching?”
Cavs tanking for a shot at LeBron in the summer?
We playing like the 2018 warriors
Gotta feel for the Cavs fans. Shit is really sad.
Holy shit, knicks are going to the finals in my lifetime
Knicks are really cruising/dominating to the Finals while Spurs and OKC mollywhop each other. This is their championship to lose.
Aside from the fact that both of those teams are far better than them.
Far better is a stretch and a half.
The way the Knicks are playing, those teams aren’t “far better”, lmao.
Damn so their not even giving the fake “ we believe “ like shaq was talking about pre game
Spike Lee finally have his wish happened After so many heartaches.
Danhausen deserves the human monies.
Knicks will finally have an away crowd in the Finals
I took a nap and now it’s pretty much done?
everyone’s better than jalen brunson until it’s time to be better than jalen brunson
Idk if I’ve seen a sweep secured after 1 game before. That Game 1, no timeout collapse ended the series
Cavs played desperate for like 6 minutes in the first period and said fuck it
What a joke.
I really wish the Pistons beat the Cavs. The Cavs won fair and square but I think the Pistons would atleast put up a fight against the Knicks.
It’s fine because analytically the cavs are up 20 and analytically Brunson missed that shot
lol that shot was disrespectful
Loud as hell in there after tht shot knick fans are everywhere 🤣🤣
damn the lights are too bright at home too
Ok it’s 2-2 now. When does game 5 start? There is some error on NBA schedule page. It’s not shown there atm, but I’m sure they’ll fix it.
Harden has officially gotten his last big contract
