Series Thread: 1st Round: 4) Cavs vs 5) Knicks

Interesting. How do you get to that belief before the Knicks will have even had a home game in the series? I think the Knicks are likely coming in with the goal that they have three attempts to steal in game 1,2,5. I agree that game 1 is the best one to get but they would have two more chances if they can do the job at home.

Yeah.....not that it's a must win but I'd say the Cavs need Game 1 more than NY does.

Hopefully they are seeing the predictions from the talking heads as while I heard of one (Rose...but didn't see him say it), I haven't seen/heard anyone pick the Cavs to win.

???

On espn, 14 of the 18 predicted Cavs to win

Didn't see it. I am mostly limited to NBA Today show on ESPN and some TNT. Saw less than a handful make picks and all were the Knicks...though someone told me Rose picked us. Barely said anything about the Cavs.....granted Stephen A was on.

That’s true of every playoff home game

This series is the one I'm most excited to watch.

Hopefully I get to watch but I have some personal issues that come before anything. Go Cavs!

Most likely first round series to go 7 IMO

 

[bksballer89]

Mobley!

The Cavs have some jitters early.....

Yes sir.

Cavs fans do not want to hear this but it is true.

 

[DJ Fieri]

NY needs to win just to shut up both @Pastafazul and @WiggyRuss.....one of each teams fans.

Game living up to the hype early.

This looks like the only interesting first round matchup in the East.

Hubie Brown is 89 years old and calling a playoff game. LEGEND

Yep.

Realistically it could go either way

He is showing very little signs of slowing down.

Love him.

Of course this is subject to change, it is early, but the Knicks+5.5 and the under look good right now.

Eh, I don't know about that. He's had a clear decline the last couple of years, but I mean the guy is 89 years old, what do you expect. For the most part though, he's still competent and gives good info. But there's times where the game moves too fast and he gets a little lost or stumbles over some names.

Talk about the jitters. Missing so many easy shots

Cleveland better wake up.
