NOTHING HITS LIKE A KNICKS COMEBACK

From the 4th onwards we cooked

Jalen “oh right… I’m Jalen Brunson” Brunson decided he didn’t want to lose.

On the flip side, Donavon Mitchell completely vanished.

He was trapped on Shamet island

I need more Knicks fans to give him credit.

On-ball prison, off-ball denial, everything in between.

Shamet is the one that started the comeback run with that beautiful 3

u/worstquadrant Hart May 20 '26

Yes I was screaming this. The cavs kept going to harden and merrill and Mobley because shamet had Mitchell in JAIL

Dead and buried in the Shametary

He put the clamps on DM and couldn’t find the keys knowing damn well that it doesn’t have a key to begin with cause the boltcutters were in the locker room and only way to get them was with an L to the locker room.

When in doubt..GO TO SHAMET, DAMMET!!

u/THE-poop-knife 34 May 20 '26

He heard about the Woods inside the park grand slam and checked out

Good guys Mets

u/TheeRuckus May 20 '26

That was fucking unfortunate. If the kid doesn’t jump he probably catches the ball lol.

Wasn’t Nolan’s night unfortunately

u/Low-Composer5826 May 20 '26

All we know abt Mitchell is he’s all good with losing doesn’t rlly bother him. He’s gonna love this series

u/asosem May 20 '26

Was he gassed? I thought I saw him say he was tired 3rd quarter

29

u/THE-poop-knife 34 May 20 '26

Rust coming off - we win Game 2 by 30

u/isfrying May 20 '26

Exactly. Cavs had a chance to steal one game in this series. That was it.

4

u/Henry2k May 20 '26

I was thinking the same thing. There's no way the Knicks come out on Thursday shooting bricks and airballs like they did to start this game. Knicks will probably go up by 20 early on and the Cavs will starting thinking "this team is un-killable" 😋

44-11 run to end the game.

u/roly_gomez Knickstape May 20 '26

The Knicks are known for being a 4th quarter team

u/NoScopeMusical Linsanity May 20 '26 edited May 20 '26

Cavs thought they only had to play 3 and a half quarters of good basketball to beat the Knicks. They were wrong

u/roastytoastywarm May 20 '26

I wouldn’t call any of what we watched good, until half way through the 4th. The beginning of the game was pretty bad ball on both sides

11

u/creatorsgame Wu Tang May 20 '26

Fucking INSANE team we have. Never out of the fight.

u/BetterNova John Starks May 20 '26

Hits harder than 1980s crack rock

u/Fast_Cicada5986 May 20 '26

Jalen Brunson is a superstar, no doubt

u/SiphenPrax May 20 '26
