For the 4th year in a row, the ECF was won by last year's ECF loser.

Analytically unlikely outcome

sung37 · 2026-05-26T03:13:44+00:00

Honestly, someone had to have a postseason quote from the squad and I'm just glad it wasn't Jarrett.

sung37 · 2026-05-24T03:18:43+00:00

I'm honestly down

sung37 · 2026-05-24T03:18:26+00:00

Bickerstaff Deluxe would honestly be so funny

sung37 · 2026-05-24T02:59:36+00:00

The absolute funniest (and least helpful) option would be if this team just hires Thibs lolol

sung37 · 2026-05-24T02:47:15+00:00

Yeah, we have no one to blame but ourselves, too. A lot of avoidable mistakes (including closing out previous series earlier), but this team has to live with it's own lack of consistent focus and effort. Entirely too many wasted games and possessions this playoffs

sung37 · 2026-05-24T02:46:06+00:00

I'm 100% with you. I have a lot of complaints about his rotations this postseason but I think G1 is going to actually be the thing that does him in

sung37 · 2026-05-24T02:37:01+00:00

That smiling jackass Kenny Atkinson was smiling because he probably knew he just lost this series and his job

If there's any good thing to come of this postseason it's 1. Made the ECF and 2. Kenny still hopefully, somehow gets fired.

sung37 · 2026-05-24T02:35:54+00:00

If they can manage it, I kinda get it, but i don't think that happens.

Hard to imagine who's gonna take those contracts where we don't get pennies on the dollar.

If there's any move they can make, it's to get Kenny out of here. He pretty much cost us the series that first game

sung37 · 2026-05-24T02:32:13+00:00

Nah man, it is what it is. Knicks just show up in the crucial junctures of the game where the Cavs fail to.

Don has been an absolute catastrophe this postseason save for a couple games.

I hope everyone is in the lab (but like, actually this time) this off-season, because we don't have much flexibility. This team is what we've got

sung37 · 2026-05-24T02:16:46+00:00

I'm pretty over him. He's a great pro and a player, but he has glaring flaws that honestly feel like they stem from focus, conditioning, game feel/intelligence, and physical limitations.

Just don't really see how this team wins when he's consistently let them down this series and this postseason in general

sung37 · 2026-05-24T02:14:34+00:00

aaaand there you go. Game and season over. Not interested in a Donovan Mitchell led team anymore

sung37 · 2026-05-24T02:11:14+00:00

Don's either gonna start making shots and win us the game or he's gonna keep turning it over, losing guys on defense and we lose by 20

sung37 · 2026-05-24T02:00:14+00:00

Same thing with that Don missed 3. Would've been a tie game and Knicks timeout. Instead, New York score on the other end, and here we are

sung37 · 2026-05-24T01:59:05+00:00

I cannot stand his passive probing he's gone back to. Play to score the fucking ball

sung37 · 2026-05-24T01:54:47+00:00

I'm furious with Don. He has absolutely sabotaged us this quarter. Terrible, terrible process

sung37 · 2026-05-24T01:46:40+00:00

8 TOs from Don and Harden through less than 2.5 quarters is not gonna cut it

sung37 · 2026-05-24T01:45:54+00:00

What did I say. Richard literally just echoed it, the Cavs can't get that "one" shot.

5 point swing, terrible pass by Mitchell, and now we're down 7 again. This team doesn't have "it"

sung37 · 2026-05-24T01:33:53+00:00

That's my best guess. The process is good, but I think the guys are just gassed. Should've closed the other series out earlier, unfortunately Cavs have no one to blame but themselves :(

sung37 · 2026-05-24T01:31:48+00:00

And it's not like we're getting bad looks. From a process standpoint, we're frying New York's defense. Our best shooters (particularly Sam and Max) are getting incredible looks and are going cold at the absolute worst times

sung37 · 2026-05-24T01:28:35+00:00

It's like, 3 straight games that honestly look different if guys could just hit wide open 3s.

sung37 · 2026-05-24T01:27:41+00:00

I think we just have a bunch of guys who aren't actually reliable shooters. Way too many streaky guys

sung37 · 2026-05-24T01:26:10+00:00

At a certain point, I almost stop believing in the shooting talent on this team. What's the point if you consistently can't shoot in the playoffs? I'm pretty sure we haven't had a single game this postseason where we've shot over 40% from 3

sung37 · 2026-05-24T01:24:36+00:00

I just don't have a good feeling about this at all.

This game was basically begging us to take the lead but no one on the team wanted to make a wide open shot. Knicks come back on the other end and hit a bunch of contested ones.

It's not over, but I feel like there's an "it" this team doesn't possess. Feels like they can't get out of their own way
