I have such contempt for Cleveland and its people. If I was from there, I think I'd end my life rather than continue living there.
This game is so exasperating for Clevelanders. It's must win, you can't go down 3-0; you're at home. And yet your team "starts" 1-9. AND NEVER HAS THE LEAD IN THE WHOLE HALF.
They can't stop Mamdani City and they can't make FREE throws or keep hold of the ball. New York shot 13/14 from the line, Cle. 6/11, a seven-point difference in made FREE THROWS at the basket when the diff at HT is SIX.
They had nine turnovers, which is only one more than Mamdani City, but GAWD Cle's seem to come at the worst times, which is probably anytime when you're behind.
They tied it twice in the 2Q, but each time Mamdani City inched away, the last time opening up a nine-point lead.
The 3Q has been Cle's throughout the playoffs. Maybe it will be again, but I honestly don't see them winning this game. I think they made their third quarter run in the second quarter.
