Sometimes I think he is too good to be a 6th Man and should be a starter.

Mitchell Robinson has been a bloody significant factor defensively for the Knicks.

Very impressed with this final quarter by the Knicks.

I owe Knicks fans an apology. Never knew how good/crucial Mitchell Robinson is to their team and core. And it's great to see he finally he has has a decent run of injury, especially in the playoffs.

Pacers threw everything at them, Brunson has had to sit because of foul trouble, this is a mature and nuanced performance by the Knicks.

Got to give credit where credit is due.


Deuce had been on a tough stretch since coming back from injury, so good that he got it together.

But Mitch man. We been saying forever that he’s the X-Factor for a Thibs team. Glad he’s getting the recognition he deserves.

I officially do not understand the NBA.

I watched the Pacers and Knicks games. Everything I saw in those games seemingly doesn’t matter.

Well to be fair that was supposed to be Isaiah Jackson but he's hurt.

KAT averaged 30/12 on 50/40/90 vs IND in the RS. No one should be surprised by this

Probably won't start taking the series seriously until it goes to Bankers Life Fieldhouse.
