With five players in double figures, the Knicks got off to a good start. Ball had 3 points and 6 assists. It was difficult for the Cavaliers to get out of the Eastern Conference.

First, this season for the Cavaliers is basically a matter of success or failure.

The reason why the Cavaliers were upset by the Pacers last season was indeed unlucky because the three main players were injured. However, the natural flaw in the structure of this team is that Mitchell and Garland are essentially unable to coexist in the backcourt. The continuous defense of the small with the small made Garland finally overwhelmed, and the Cavaliers also fell into a continuous reaction to the wave of injuries.

In the offseason that just passed, the Cavaliers' biggest move was to trade Okro for Lonzo Ball. On the one hand, the Ball brothers are indeed talented, and on the other hand, they are all glass men. Ball played 287 games in 8 seasons, and his attendance rate was reimbursed for 2 seasons, which makes people wonder whether the Cavaliers have introduced another seed of injury wave. Even if the Cavaliers have the team option of Ball's two-year 20 million contract, so what.

After the Celtics dismantled the team, the Cavaliers are currently the only team in the league that exceeds the second richest line. The luxury tax bill has reached the spring limit of 163 million. If the Cavaliers still see no signs of reaching the finals before February next year, Garland, who has a five-year contract of 193 million, has become inevitable. The introduction of Ball is an early backup for the Cavaliers.

Second, Ball's debut turned upside down, making it very difficult for the Cavaliers to get out of the Eastern Conference.

Neither Hart nor Miro will play today. The Knicks will send the unknown Hooker Bolti as the starting center. Coach Brown seems to insist on sticking to the twin tower strategy to the end.

With Garland, Hunter and Struss on the Cavaliers' injury list, people can't help but question whether the Cavaliers' frustration is due to bad luck or the ability of the head coach and general manager.

The Cavaliers fell behind by double digits in the first quarter, especially the 7-16 rebound gap, which made the Cavaliers twin towers, who each picked up one rebound, feel ashamed.

Although the Cavaliers once narrowed the point difference to 1 point in the second quarter, the 15-point gap opened up again at halftime, which already showed the asymmetry between the current lineups of both sides.

In the third quarter of the game, although Mitchell showed great power and led the team to tie again, the Knicks pulled away again in the fourth quarter and announced the end of the suspense in advance because the Knicks had too many people who could score a response.

The reason why the Cavaliers lost was because of the point guard vacuum caused by Garland's absence. Mitchell is essentially a shooting guard.

Ball had 3 points and 6 assists, 1 of 7 three-pointers and no touch at all. He has become a pure passer.

Mitchell scored 30 points, unable to sing alone.

Brunson scored 23 points and 4 assists, and made 1 of 9 three-pointers, so-so.

Towns had 19 points and 11 rebounds and is adapting to Brown's system.

This season, the Knicks are likely to be the only Eastern Conference team that can touch the edge of the championship.

What makes the Knicks stand out today is the team’s 11-man rotation and scorers. The Knicks' rebirth once again proved their wrong trust in Thibodeau. In a word, the general is incompetent and the entire army is exhausted.

The Knicks are lucky enough to be able to meet Thibodeau and live to this day.
