He hasn't been making them, obviously, but this guy looks tired in fourth quarters having to play so many minutes. Robinson staying on the court allows the Knicks to have three really big, long defenders when Bridges and Ananobi are out there, too. So when Tatum's trying to go by a guy like Mitchell Robinson, there are help defenders. in Bridges and Ananobi, and that's kind of their strength.

It's like getting in passing lanes and messing things up. So I thought great stuff from Mitchell Robinson. Cat was playing well defensively. And then Josh Hart, you just can't leave him alone for a second. He's going to make the winning plays that need to be made. And yeah, Tatum, I don't know, man. He's just got to be better. There's no way around it. He scored 13 points on 19 shots.

He just came off of a series where he was averaging like 35 points per game against one of the best defenses in the league. And he has now been brutal through two games here. And you're right, he was trying to. He was trying to get to the rim or trying to get to spots and maybe not settle for three. Though that one clip you're seeing, which was pretty brutal.

I think it was maybe, I don't know, three or four minutes left. Ball kicked around, found Tatum in the corner, and Jalen Brunson was falling down in the paint. And you could see Tatum's like, well, I mean, I'm wide open. I'm wide open in the corner, and I can hit a three-pointer. But, I mean, probably.

Could have attacked on that one, especially when Brunson fell because he got tripped up on someone, but took the shot and missed. And it was just one of those 14 consecutive misses that just added up. I'm glad you brought up Cat. I thought Cat... Mitchell Robinson, you're right. Game ball. Even in the first half, he checked in. He deterred Tatum at the rim. He had two dunks. He had active hands.

He got sort of a steal on Horford that then got tied up. So he was good. But there was that stretch where Cat... They put him on the block. He scored on Horford like three straight times. Horford is still an amazing defense. Yeah, and that was a nice little swing there to keep them alive.

Really reminiscent, really, when I think about it, to the Pacers' comeback against the Cavs, where it was like, Halliburton's the hero at the end. That's sort of Brunson in this one, because, man, that guy just has the clutch gene. But it's all those other players, like... Keeping him around, not letting it get to a 40-point lead like we obviously saw in the second game.

And it was Hart, it was McBride, and it really, you know, Cat and Mitchell, until Bridges then also joined on as the hero with Brunson last night. It's just like, those are just as important as the big clutch shots or the big free throws, just to stay in the game as they did.
