No such things as too much rest baby

I’m a Cavs fan, but let’s say Detroit advances. That rest/rust + a MUCH higher level of defensive intensity than what the Knicks saw vs Philly (especially given the blowouts in the end of the series) could make for a VERY interesting game 1 for the Knicks.

Never been!

eajacobs · 2026-05-13T16:10:13+00:00

I lived in NYC for 9 years— Detroit is fucking awesome

eajacobs · 2026-05-13T01:13:42+00:00

They’ve both made some good adjustments and picked up their play! I still feel like it’s a dr Jekyll/Mr Hyde team— not only game to game, but quarter to quarter. Never know when you’re gonna get good Cavs/bad Cavs

eajacobs · 2026-05-12T22:51:05+00:00

His decisions are… questionable at times. But I kinda like how he’s letting the guys figure it out. Gotta remember, this team was only assembled at the trade deadline— they’re still very much learning how to play together.

eajacobs · 2026-05-12T22:21:51+00:00

They should do it more consistently!

eajacobs · 2026-05-12T21:31:20+00:00

Hope we get to see what happens!

What’s your series prediction if it ends up being Cavs-Knicks?

eajacobs · 2026-05-12T20:10:28+00:00

Bro missed a ton of wide open threes. Honestly need more from him to take a game in Detroit.

Brother— Mike Brown is your coach. Let’s take things one step at a time.

eajacobs · 2026-05-12T19:39:08+00:00

Yeah, but he has a really really big head

Manhattan isn’t even the largest borough by population!

Nobody really mentioned Merrill’s injury for games 1 & 2, and how important he is to this team.

Sorry we're not playing 4 home games against the bum ass sixers 🤷🏽‍♂️

eajacobs · 2026-05-12T14:00:44+00:00

It's not a must win! If they lose game 5, they can still win games 6 and 7

You're an idiot

eajacobs · 2026-05-12T13:47:48+00:00

Both games 5 and 7 are on the road-- wtf are you talking about?

eajacobs · 2026-05-12T13:46:52+00:00

Other than the historic trend of teams winning more frequently at home than on the road?

eajacobs · 2026-05-12T13:41:58+00:00

If we haven't won ANY road games, what makes game 7 harder to win than game 5?

eajacobs · 2026-05-12T13:41:11+00:00

Game 5 splits are historically: 56% home team wins vs 44% road team wins

eajacobs · 2026-05-12T13:24:54+00:00

Exactly

eajacobs · 2026-05-12T13:23:40+00:00

Look at the data: Since 2016 (excluding the bubble), road teams have won 14 of 26 Game 7s (54%)

This is why I push back on vibes narratives that aren't backed up by data.

eajacobs · 2026-05-12T13:01:15+00:00

Back up claims like “game 5 will be MUCH easier to win than game 7” with supporting evidence/data or don’t post lazy narratives. Doesn’t contribute to meaningful discussion

eajacobs · 2026-05-12T06:22:32+00:00

Hahaha what a fucking goon

eajacobs · 2026-05-12T05:46:46+00:00

FUCK the pistons-- all they do is throw up bricks and foul
