Cavs are -200 favorites to win the series against the Knicks according to the majority of sportsbooks out there.

I'm taking Knicks. Not sure in how many but it's irrelevant

These are not the 1970’s Knicks. Cavs will wear them out.

Cavs should be able to get Isaac Okoro back for this series. Knicks might miss their leader scorer Julius Randle who was once a member of Jake’s Lakers.

Not shocked to lose the opener, but didn't expect to give up so many offensive rebounds.

Cavs got out hustled and backed down from New York's physicality in Game 1. Garland and Mobley better rise to the occasion of playoff basketball and be ready for the war it is or this will be a quick series for the Knicks. Mobley got bullied and Garland attempted zero FGs in the second half of game 1 that's not going to cut it he needs to be more aggressive, Donovan can't score 50 every night.

Wow, what a win. Cavs definitely proved to the Knicks that they were physical. One point Brunson was crying 😂.

Cavs definitely turned up the intensity a notch in game 2. That’s what they need to do every game. Levert had one of his best games in a long time.

What a way to answer the bell from DG. That's the aggressiveness the Cavs need from him. Now they need to take at least one in NY.

Just think about it this way, Cavs arguably played one of their worst offensive games on Saturday and only lost by 4.

Cavs beat themselves, Knicks don’t have a good team. Poor shooting is what lost them those two games.

This has been the Cavs MO all season. They look very good for a game or two then follow it up with getting blown out. Let’s face it they have no bench. Okoro just hasn’t developed and Allen certainly hasn’t been the same as he was last year. Boston and Milwaukee have the best rosters in the East.

Well, if we win today we have home court advantage back however, the Knicks have definitely looked like the better team. If Giannis can't play or is hobbled the winner of this series has a good shot to make the EC Finals.

I have bad feeling about this game today. I think the bright lights of MSG are too much for the Cavs they played soft and hesitant and got bullied . Even Mitchell Robinson Center for the Knicks said the Cavs bigs are “shooked” and he isn’t wrong.

These are not the 1970’s Knicks. Cavs will wear them out. The exact opposite is happening, the Knicks are wearing out the Cavs. Just out muscling them and being more physical. And overall playing better team basketball. |

Well it was a good season.. just good, not great. No way this Cavs team is winning three in a row. There needs to be some big moves this off-season. The way this team is currently constructed just isn’t it. Call this a hot take, I don’t care, but I think it’s fair to question if Allen is the right guy at center too. Is he really worth 20 million a year? Everyone talks about Mobley needing to put on weight but Allen really needs to as well.

Rubio also brings nothing anymore. I know he’s coming off the injury but really what does he bring when he’s on the court? I don’t see how he helps win any games. Move on from him.

In what may have been Cavs biggest game to date, it was nice to see Mitchell show up.

When he missed games during the season, our defense really suffered, as he wasn't there to clog the middle/block shots/grab rebounds. But he's doing none of that in the playoffs, and isn't even putting up a fight. |

Cavs have been down 3-1 before and look what happened. I’m not giving up on this team. However the effort isn’t there. Mobley and Allen shouldn’t be shown up by some random named Mitchell Robinson who nobody will remember in 5 years. Anyway if the Knicks do win the series all I can say is congrats to a team that hasn’t won a title since the 70’s and definitely won’t win one this year.

In fairness, Cavs had LBJ, Kylie, Love, and Draymond was suspended Game 5 |
