Tuesday’s game was the Cleveland Cavaliers’ first chance to showcase their probable playoff starting five this season. And if this game was any indication, that group has some work to do.

If the Knicks don’t fix their excrement, New York is about to become first-round fodder.

Luka? Can’t argue, but I’d argue the difference between them isn’t all that significant: pair any with a couple of All-Stars and they […]
