I’m gonna say it… The Knicks are a great matchup for Cleveland.
Brunson is going to be brought into every action and have to defend Harden/Mitchell
They don’t have an Ausar/Scottie Barnes level defender for Mitchell if they want to keep OG on Mobley
Dean Wade has given Brunson hell defensively
Having Mobley roaming when KAT brings the center out and tries to facilitate will limit those sets.
Knicks only chance is magnet ball.
Still can’t believe the reaction Joe Davis gave after Carson Benge dropped this fly ball.
It’s ridiculous, a regular season game — rookie making an error. Unprofessional broadcasting.
From Knicks perspective, Pacers losing their 2026 first-round pick was significant. No East contender wants Indiana to have a top pick at their disposal in the offseason ahead of Tyrese Haliburton's return. Their pick ended up with Clippers as part of Ivica Zubac trade.
Not sure why I see so many people saying the lottery was rigged. The Leafs were terrible. They were the fifth-worst team in the entire league. It’s not like they were some crazy long shot.
The Mikal Bridges play on Joel Embiid was dirty…
But the Sixers knew the Knicks were going to play like this.
And they just have to play with more physicality.

The Sixers postgame show called Jalen Brunson a “free throw monger” last night.
Reminder that…
• Brunson went 12/18 shooting
• Embiid took more free throws than him
• The 76ers lost by 39 points
Paul George on the Knicks in Game 1
"We had breakdowns tonight, but they also shot the s--t out of the ball. They were hot, they came out hot, they came out on fire. But it's a game of adjustments, we'll make adjustments. They don't get any extra points for going up big tonight"
