Kenny Atkinson said losing the Game 6s in the previous rounds hurt the Cavaliers
"We win those Game 6s we beat the Knicks - I'm not saying that, but I think it gives us a better chance. But the density of the frequency of the games played a part in it"
“Pride. Pride. We’re at home. We don’t lose at home…
“And these dudes—call a spade a spade—they finna come in here and tryna sweep us
“And me personally, I don’t take that lightly”
— Jaylon Tyson on Game 4
@cbain100 How many of these 50 years have you been alive that you even formulated this fucking stupid of a sentence? There should be an IQ test before people are allowed to tweet
Joel Embiid was asked about the way tonight's game was officiated and whether or not the officials let more things go tonight:
"They shot 32 free throws, we had 16. We're not a team that shoots a lot of threes. We attack, put the ball on the ground. I don't know.
I guess it's good when New York wins, so we've just got to have that mentality of just not fouling, I guess, and being smart enough to not put ourselves in a position where they're going to take advantage of it."
If I were a Knicks fan - and I'm not - I'd be afraid the Knicks were using up all their shot-making and lucky bounces in the first half of Game 1. The Knicks cannot play or shoot better than they did in that first half.
