On this edition of Locked On Cavs, Danny Cunningham reacts to the Cleveland Cavaliers losing to the New York Knicks on Christmas day at Madison Square Garden.

He also spends time talking about the good things Cleveland did in order to lead the Knicks for the majority of the game.

JA is soft and scared when the moment gets too big simple as that
Jarrett 🍦 Allen Needs to Go ASAP … Mitchell Robinson Bullied Him …. Yet Again ##Lights2Bright
Its Good See The Chemistry ⚗️ Coming together, Just Stay Focused Cavs, Its Coming Along
Jordan Clarkson, Koleck Killed Us too … Bench players looking like All Stars
Problem is the schedule…They sleepwalked through an easy schedule and now are paying for it. Houston, SAS, Phoenix, Denver, and DET next 5.
Hey genius, those little things you mentioned, rebounds, etc is how you win games. Points don't always win games.
Salute The New York Knicks and respect Mike Brown
This is officially a Knicks house now
So according to you nobody on the Knicks were good this game… what does that say about the players on the Cavs?
Cavs look good but the knicks played horrible and still won
Bro… taking moral victories as a team that was the favorite in the east preseason and in the 2nd apron is crazy work
Donovan Mitchell is so sick and he is a waste on this team
The core four experiment is over. Jared allen is lost and soft. DG is always hurt and redundant with Don playing. Should have traded them both 2 years ago. This is first round playoff exit team again
233 million dollar payroll and no one on the roster can consistently rebound or be physical
Cavs soft
I’m not gonna lie. The Knicks are really good team, but the Cavaliers need to learn how to close out games by grabbing defensive rebounds when they are leading in the final seconds of games.
After a great first half why wasn't Tyson used in the 4th quarter? He should have replaced Garland for D and rebounds.
That spida dunk over og was filthy! Dude is a baller!
Can’t wait for my koleck jersey to come in 🫶🏻
i hated kenny's rotation in the 4th
the cavs have good wing rebounders but they play Merril at the 3 lol … to close the game cavs needed Mitchell, Tyson, Hunter, Wade, Mobley in the line up or at least try Bryant ,…STUPID Line ups by the coach … lets play midgets and JA who cant rebound
Team been together 4 years the highest payroll in the nba and you taking moral victories after you blow a 16 point lead when Kat,josh hart, OG, and bridges didn't even play well this is wild
I did like how they played in this game. People are upset that we blew a lead and I understand that but guys, we suck this year. The record speaks for itself. What I want to see is us getting better not worse. I'll take a close tight game with the number 2 seed in the East then a complete blow out to the Knicks. If we continue to get worse then better then I'm with the frustrations but getting better is all I want to see right now.
Look Jarret Allen is undersize true 6 9 center , who play smaller anytime he goes up against. True physical big center. Look at his body language he like a turtle with his head tucked in his shell running up and down the court. We need a true big center with heart. He will aways get dominated, he not a fighter. Because he knows he can't win.
This Cavs team has been a .500 ball club since last seasons All-star break… Danny is trippin. Lol
”The team I watched on Thursday looked like a conference finals type team.“ Bro really just said that lol. The Cavs will be out in the first round this year. What is this guy talking about? If the playoffs started today, the Cavs would have to face the Knicks in round one and get swept easy lol
