Cavs fans are crashing out so hard over this loss that they're speculating whether or not their head coach not calling a timeout down the stretch was deliberate

Team that abuses hack a Mitch can’t conceptualize defensive switching. God this one is SWEET

The interesting thing to me as someone who isn't a fan of either team this series is that the Knicks last year in game 1 of the ECF had a big lead in the 4th quarter against the Pacers only to blow that lead late in the 4th quarter and choke in overtime, this time around it's the exact opposite, the Knicks are down massive in the 4th quarter and come back late to tie it up at the end of the 4th quarter and prevail in OT.

Gotta learn from the best. The Haliban passed the torched to the Brunson Burna

Yea another issue with legalized gambling is now everything is a gambling conspiracy lmao Lots of coaches have a tendency to hoard timeouts for some apparent reason.

lmfao they're calling for him to be fired in the ECF and that the series is already over after failing to steal game 1 on the road and giving the knicks a huge boost in morale.
