Pierbattista Pizzaballa, the Vatican-appointed Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem, the head of the Catholic Church in the Holy Land, is alarming that the right-wing government of Benjamin Netanyahu is clearly making life difficult for Christians in the region. In addition, the number of attacks once morest them has increased significantly.
It’s the ric-rac confrontation on this side of the table. When on the other side, Suns and Clippers, Grizzlies and Lakers, Kings and Warriors are regarding to smack each other in the face with a hell of a dose of uncertainty around the favorite of each opposition, the hierarchy is more established in the East . More established, except for this Cavaliers – Knicks, saving series of a conference that lacked spice.
To find the predictions of the editorial staff, it’s here!
Regular season matches
- Cavaliers 121-108 Knicks
- Knicks 92-81 Cavaliers
- Knicks 105-103 Cavaliers
- Cavaliers 116-130 Knicks
Small favorite, big outsider
A season off and the Knicks are back, stronger than two years ago, determined to turn the corner.
And what a course. The Cavaliers qualified for the Playoffs for the first time since 2018. The squad hasn’t been as complete as it has been in… it’s been a while. Under LeBron’s leadership, there was a greater lack of personnel off the bench. This season, it’s the opposite. Plenty of quality players but not a credible candidate for the « All-NBA First Team ». Donovan Mitchell is a good All-Star, Jarrett Allen and Darius Garland joined the star clan last season. However, the Knicks – who have “only” Julius Randle to place in this same family of recent All-Stars – would be right to believe in their chances. The Cavaliers have shown that they are absolutely not one of those untouchable teams on the road, with a record of 20 wins for 21 losses on the road. No one is unaware of the dress that Madison Square Garden wears in the Playoffs: a kind of breastplate that ignites on command. The slightest trick from Immanuel Quickley might plunge Cleveland into doubt. The Cavaliers have not won at the Garden since April 2, 2022. The time to end this start to the dark series seems to be the right one.
At instant T, JB Bickerstaff has no uncertainty (and still) only the presence of Isaac Okoro in his group. According to ESPN, the small Cavaliers winger should still take part at the start of the series. For Julius Randle, the situation is more delicate. Hit in the ankle, the New York All-Star has not yet resumed contact training. According to Ian Bagley of SNY, participation in match 1 seems compromised. So frustrating. It distorts a whole series.
Not utopian but will we see Evan Fournier get closer to the floor in this series? We can always dream of a scenario in which the Frenchman comes off the bench once in the 4th quarter, and by three or four bomblets allows a New York comeback. But as said, it’s probably utopian.
Donovan Mitchell’s back-to-back Playoffs failures – late Jazz period – first comeback in postseason of the Cavaliers since the departure of LeBron James, the Knicks finally at the level of their fans’ expectations, Julius Randle reconciled with his public, Jalen Brunson in a new role, Evan Mobley to… confirm his DPOY trimmed season? Place your bets, and above all, enjoy this series to the fullest. Don’t miss a beat.

“Driver of ‘James’ Car’s Response when Attempting an Illegal Turn with Passing Vehicle” – Al Marsad Newspaper
A video is circulating of an accident involving a James car driver who was attempting to overtake another vehicle on the road while speeding. The video starts with the James driver waiting to turn in the opposite direction when another car cuts him off, causing the James driver to become angry and chase following the other car. However, the other car did not yield, resulting in the James driver swerving suddenly and colliding with the sidewalk. The video has become a top trend on Twitter in the Kingdom and has caused concern among followers who view the James driver as representing an aggressive segment of drivers who pose a danger to themselves and others.
Al-Marsad Newspaper: A circulating video clip documented the moment of an accident involving a James car driver while he was trying to overtake the road, speeding in a violating manner while another vehicle was passing by.
The video began with the moment Al-Jams was waiting at a road opening, trying to turn in the opposite direction, but another car did not wait for him and decided to cut off the road.
It seems that this behavior angered the driver of the jamas, as he started chasing the other car very quickly, but it did not open the way for him, which led to his swerving suddenly and colliding with the sidewalk.
The clip topped the Twitter trend in the Kingdom, where it aroused discontent among the followers, because they saw that the leader of the jams represents a segment of aggressive drivers who pose a threat to their lives and the lives of others.
In conclusion, the circulating video clip of the James car driver’s accident serves as a reminder of the dangers of reckless driving and aggressive behavior on the roads. As social media users express their discontent and concern over this incident, it is important for all drivers to prioritize safety and respect for others while behind the wheel. Let us all strive to create a safer and more responsible driving culture.
