Cleveland might have to just deal with starting Okoro, just for the simple fact that he's better on Brunson than any other player they currently have. They just need to hope the Knicks keep playing off of him and that he can actually hit some outside shots to keep their defense honest. IF Okoro can hit outside shots, it makes easier shots for everyone else; he's the entire key (that and consistent rebounding) to the Cavs winning the series unfortunately.

Also it says a lot the Knicks played as good as they can and barely won :manny:

:gucci:

Brunson was out damn near half the game with fouls and only got going in the 2nd half.

QG had what? 6 points? IQ didn't do shyt. RJ was trash.

Randle, off injury and all time WOAT playoff performance, showed life and Hart 2 Hart had to hold us down when he was slowing down.

Knicks played like ass most of the game and still managed to be up by double figures for most of it. Mitchell nearly dropped a 40 piece against us at some of our worst and yall still lost.

Ain't shyt being said but hope someone else on the Cavs steps up, my guy. :gucci:

Does osman even start and is he seen as a defensive stopper ? Why was he essentially playing the role of Marcus smart against Brunson the 2nd half?

Brunson was lil bro'ing Garland and Mitchell with the middy fadeaways so they desperately wanted someone with height on him. Unfortunately for them, Osman lacked the lateral quickness.

That last lefty layup by Brunson was bad defense tho, NYK got the offense rebound yet again (also bad) and Osman didn't realize there was no help on his left side on the reset, he should've angled Brunson towards the middle. Brunson noticed that error and it was bbq chicken.

Cavs have no answer for Brunson but the bigger issue is Cavs bigs got punked and Cavs bench got punked. Can't be leaking from so many areas.
