  1. Fucking weird one, but I am taking that W!!!

    .500 baby!!!!

  2. I know CLE is hurt but it was still a solid win, well played game on both ends

  3. Pinheadlarry29

    Mr. Don’t Compare me to Josh Hart ends the game with 2 rebounds

  4. SymphonyInPeril

    I like when the Knicks win.

    I also dislike when the Knicks lose.

  5. CrossingYoulnStyle

    Took advantage of an injured team you love to see it. Let’s do it again tomorrow night

  6. Expensive-Buy1621

    We win by 20 and I’m somehow disappointed with what I watched 😂

  7. ReturnOfAKidNamedTae

    Wait, this game was on MSG?

    I sat here listening to Stan Van Gundy for 3 hours for no reason?

  8. A welcomed snooze fest W.

    Cavs were looking like the Knicks with their scrappy play and crappy shooting.

    Feels good to watch the dumpster fire instead of being one lol.

    Randle still trying to find his rhythm but I can appreciate him leaning more on RJ, Brunson, and iHart while he finds his touch.

    I want the sweep tmm but I’m expecting the Cleveland Warriors lol

  9. saltyalertt

    Lmaoooooo Cleveland haters of the Knicks, of which there are MANY (Evan Mobeat, Tristan WashedSton, that douche that used the 9/11 joke back in the playoffs) are FUMING they lose yet again to Knicks!

  10. beanie_mac

    Not a pretty win. But a solid all around team effort. That’s all you could ask for. Let’s do it again tomorrow.

  11. admiral_aubrey

    Low minute load, everyone healthy, solid W. IQ hit some daggers, good to see. No complaints!

  12. superomnia

    Another good RJ game. I am certainly ready and willing to get hurt again

  13. Knicksfanhart

    Defense is looking solid, but still need to be more efficient on offense.

  14. Okieant33

    You can tell that FIBA style of play has messed with JB a bit. He was distributing a lot more and playing in a different system. He def needs sometime getting back used to Thib’s system and being more selfish and looking for his shot. With how that guy works, he’ll be fine. I give him 6 more games and he’ll be the JB we know.

  15. jasonc1818

    I’d hate us so much if I’m a cavs fan

  16. NoScopeMusical

    – A very nice way to bounce back from the New Orleans disasterclass.
    – Barrett, Brunson, & Randle all showed up tonight. Quickley and iHart did very well coming off the bench. Good team defense & foul shooting wins the day
    – It’s nice to beat Cleveland again. They were short-handed but a win’s a win. It’s great to empty the bench, too.
    – Comfortable win! Let’s do the double on them tomorrow.

  17. denverknickfan

    Lets hope Cleveland doesnt get healthy in 24 hours.

  18. LetsGetSomeChickenn

    Lets fucking go lets get another one at home show donovan what hes missing out on

  19. smileyfrown

    RJ gotta learn to get more foul calls, he easily had 2-3 more fouls in the 3rd quarter that ended being “missed shots” and hurt the efficiency

    Randle in first half and second half was day and night. I don’t understand why he gets away from his bread and butter in driving to the rim and settles for contest shots

    Hart gotta play better man

    The Knicks will be ok, just clean up the turnovers

  20. Rgb3rgb2

    Good win. Offense needs to be less sloppy though. The real test is tommorow when the Cavs get their guys back, let’s own them again.

  21. heliumointment

    dub bitch

    dub

    RJ is hurt, on a minutes limit

    all 9 guys contributing on D, you love to see it

  22. Jimmit79

    I hope some team gets fooled by RJ early season run and offers to take his salary of our cap I’ll even take a 2nd rounder and call it a win.

  23. UllrCtrl

    They’re missing Darius Garland and Jarett Allen but I’ll take it, a win is a win

  24. ryan9699

    Generational JHart hater Tristan Fraudson in absolute shambles after being outrebounded 3.5:1

  25. N00BBuild

    Good on defense, mid on offense, but hey a win’s a win.

  26. Odysseus_Lannister

    “And I’ll fucking do it again”

    Knicks to the Cavs

  27. Sk8dawg00

    We own their soft asses. Mobley still has night terrors of Mitch and Randle.

  28. FloppyDonkeyDongss

    Always a great feeling to beat Cleveland. Fuck Cleveland!

  29. Anybody else going to watch themselves some Wemby?

  30. will122589

    They did what they had to do.

    Win and win the game without it going down to the wire. Let’s do it again tomorrow

  31. admiral_aubrey

    The Knicks have won 8 of their last 9 games against the Cavs. Dominance.

  32. howdy_goy

    Charles said Jules shoots too many jumpshots and he’s not wrong. Drive.

  33. Living_Internet_2970

    Win is a win

    Hang around .500 and then take off

  34. gods_green_earth_

    A win is a win. But damn the Knicks need to get more efficient with their FGM.

  35. asapfetty

    Even with the Cavs rebounding like mad men the Knicks still won the total rebounding battle (48 vs 46)

    We are just a bad matchup for the Cavs, even if they had Allen and Garland.

  36. Take out the Pelicans game and randle is shooting 40% from 3 with only 4 turnovers in 3 games. Tonight was a good night for him easing back into himself. He wasn’t efficient but he was effective getting to the line 10 times. Hopefully the back to back fatigue doesnt affect the team like it did in New Orleans. Good win.
