Watching some Knicks/Cavs tape, let's have some fun.

Sorry - had some family over. Back to Knicks.

Cavs play zone quite some... no wonder that deflections/36 rate is high amongst some players. They'll give up this RJ look all the time. Glad to see RJ hit it with ease. Footwork nice, stepback cooler.

Nice sleight of hands by Obi here to start a 3v2 fastbreak. Great body control by RJ here against a hapless Dylan Windler for an easy bucket. He's gonna get a ton of opportunities like this in the future against hapless wings - good to see him capitalize

#Knicks #NewYorkForever
Nitpicking here, but you'd like Mitch to read the situation and pass the ball to Elf instead of Burks to start a proper 3v2 break. In any case, Julius finds RJ for a wide open corner 3. 2-3 from corners last night - that'll help increase his 3PT%

As Clyde would say, see your ball, see your man. Sexton did one of the two and paid dearly once RJ blasted by for a backdoor cut. More impressive though is swerving by Drummond's block attempt to get a layup there. Key was the pump.

Knox has been in a rut for some time - on both ends of the floor. This play sums up his slump. Windler's hapless at times, but he can hit the 3. I'm not sure what Knox thought here to think he could go around the Allen screen. Fight thru it young buck.

I asked myself how Windler was 2-4 from 3, now I know why. Just watch Allen waltz up the floor. He's no playmaker, but no slouch either. RJ had him and then Noel decided to play off Windler to help - for no reason whatsoever. Result - open 3. Noel - Why?

Lot of IQ tape out there, so here's one doozy from last night:

Is this IQ's first NBA dunk? If so - NICE. RJ unintentionally set a screen and IQ drove past the crowd as the Cavs were out of balance there leading to a dunk & and one! Talk to IQ Nice!
