    James pulling his usual choking act early in the series, usually it's late in the series.

    This is just elderly abuse at this point. They're picking on James every play, lol

    Harden was getting cooked on defense, but Brunson was hitting some tough shots.

    But let's not forget Foster rewarding the Knicks with an extra possession off a missed FT that led to a 3 or the Jarrett Allen can't hit a FT to save his life.

    Cavs gave up. Entirely demoralized.

    Every play!!! All they had to do was put Strus in for Harden. They would've won, lol

    This is a bad look. But we’ve all been here before.

    criminal coaching from Kenny Atkinson allowing Brunson to cook Harden 1 on 1 for an entire quarter

    This was the game for the Cavs to steal because the Knicks were rusty with a long layoff. No excuse with a 21 point lead.

    Harden got exposed. He was even giving up threes and dunks when he was not Brunsons play toy. The stat on Harden for the last 10 is gonna be atrocious.
