No NBA, youre wrong. Melo and Knicks didnt ruin Cavs night, they ruined 'NBA' night and all the freaking dickriding you were preparing for the cavs. Nba put Knicks on first game to make sure cavs won and made it even without Calderon. Today Cavs havent been ridiculized because Irving & Love are such good players. But lebron's night was just pathetic.

[Waffleman]

this is just excellent, Melo leading his team. Lets go Knicks fans, #KNICKSTAPE

[oddjaxx]

LeBron never could cover Melo. That's been going on since they were rookies

[lshooterl]

There is no D in LeBron. There is O in Carmelo.

[brandenross]

Just finished watching this game for the second time, so nice. Good win

[melokid]

YEAH THATS MY IDOL SINCE 6TH GRADE!! EVEN WITHOUT OUR STARTING POINT GUARD JOSE CALDERON WE STILL BEAT "THE GREATEST TEAM EVER" WHILE THE WHOLE WORLD WAS WATCHING #Knickstape

[jetman]

Not 1, not 2, not 3, not 4, not 5, not 6, not 7, but 8 turnovers! LEBRICK is back!

[ryanfoley]

Haha. A million Cavs fans. One Knicks fan. Apparently Spike was the good luck charm. Gotta love it.

Pride goes before destruction. The way LeBron was strutting around before the game and flexing his muscles and the way the cavs thought the game was in the bag before it even started is why they lost. They were already an extremely overrated team (every expert already labeled them the #1 seed) before the season even started and that must have went to their heads. Two bold predictions: Knicks are better than people give them credit for, and will win 40+ games this year. Cavs will end up being a major dissapointment and end up losing in the first or second round of the playoffs.

Melos footwork is what makes him so lethal. The right footwork leads to his jumpshot.

I saw shades of Kobe from Carmelo tonight!! Great game

[gmac]

Carmelo owning Lebron in the 4th quarter again!!! Clutch Melo is back

[kylevanilla]

The biggest surprise on this game was JR Smith's 7 assists and his low 3 point attempts

[jamarr]

[assadicted]

Bring back the highlights video, I will post this on every single one until you put it back !

[KHAAAAAAAANNN]

'Its only the first game! Wah wah wah!'

Well done Knicks, maybe some of you Cavs fans will now wake up and realize its not going to be the nice easy walkover to the title you thought it would be!

[LoCoAde]

Anyone kinda surprised they put this up? Better yet, anyone surprised the title isn't 'Valiant LeBron Cavs nearly make historic comeback", or some shit like that?

Kobe's Return> LeBron's Return
