Did you know that Tom Pestak lobbied the editing staff to be voted “most realistic” in his eighth grade yearbook? I needed that pragmatism after the Cavs put up a particularly demoralizing effort against the Knicks, Monday. Sexland combined to dribble logo off the ball and chuck their way to a 10-40 game with six turnovers and seven assists, while Kevin Love and Cedi Osman combined to go 1-11 inside the arc and 8-16 from three. The Cavs shot 34% from the field while the Knicks had six guys in double figures and shot 48%. Only Tristan Thompson and his 22 rebounds shined as the Cavs were booed multiple times on their home court and generally ran around like chickens with their heads cut off.
