Big-time hoop fron Wemby there. 

[Jockey]

Gonna be a boring series.

[MuggsyB]

Uhhh....Caruso on Wemby is not a smart decision. 

[Billy Hoyle]

An absolute all time performance by Wemby tonight.

An absolute all time performance by Wemby tonight.

Incredible.  41 and 24?  Not to mention his defense?  They may not win this series, but the thought of this dude moving forward has to be terrifying for the rest of the NBA. 

[MuggsyB]

How about Harper tonight?  Fox being out may have helped the Spurs.   

[Billy Hoyle]

Incredible.  41 and 23?  Not to mention his defense?  They may not win this series, but the thought of this dude moving forward has to be terrifying for the rest of the NBA. 

If he stays healthy how can he not before best to ever play? Total package at 22.

If he stays healthy and gets stronger? What on earth can you do?  It makes me wonder if 7 foot bruisers will make a come-back.  You can beat him up a bit for now, and push him away from the rim, but that's an ephemeral solution.  And his defense is better than his offense.  As I stated before.....uh-oh.

Wemby could end up challenging Kareem as the GOAT (if he stays healthy).

He's overrated

[Jay Bee]

Realignment with Minnesota going to the East doesn't sound so bad

[MU82]

That was one hell of a basketball game.

Doesn't quite make up for the previous round of NBA playoff action, which featured one blowout dud after another, but wow, that was fun to watch.

Knicks might as well have cleaned out their lockers and done exit interviews during the second half. This series is OVER! Congrats to the Cavs on winning the NBA title and adding the GOAT in the offseason.

They have no legs.  Knicks in 5 or 6.

Glass houses

My legs are fine.  They're just not long.

I never got tired in my prime playing full-court hoops.  Ever.   Unfortunately, it's a different story now. 

[MuggsyB]

This would be an all-time meltdown for Cleveland. 

[MuggsyB]

This is among the biggest choke jobs of all-time?  Wow. 

[The Sultan]

Donovan Mitchell leading them in the third quarter only to have James Harden slowly walk the ball up the court in the fourth was quite the choice by Kenny Atkinson.

[MuggsyB]

Knicks outscored the Cavs 44-11 to close the game in 7.5 mins plus the ot.  Crazy.

Total meltdown.  And yes, that was inexplicable.  I don't think Donovan Mitchell took a shot in the overtime. 

[Shaka Shart]

This is among the biggest choke jobs of all-time?  Wow. 

No that was Nancy Reagan

[MU82]

Mike Breen started to say "Bang!" on Merrill's 3 late in regulation but only got out "ba ... " as he realized the ball went around and out.

Soon enough, the Cavs were down and out.
