We're going to California and Texas and New York.
Beautiful day here in New York as we prepare for the NBA Finals.
First time in 27 years, I can say that.
I don't know if you can neutralize him.
You have to try to contain him, but also maybe let him get some points, but try to make sure that the others around him, like Fox and Castle, don't get their points.
And to me, I think the key is Mitchell Robinson.
And Robinson has a fractured pinky, but thankfully that doesn't mean he can't play.
He's a very good defensive player, and he's got muscle when it comes to that over Wemba Miyama, who's obviously much more skilled.
But I look at this and I think to myself, okay, here's the Knicks.
Let him kill you with three-pointers rather than going inside.
And I think that's the strategy that I would go with.
If he hits 10 three-pointers and beats you, hey, hats off to Wemba and Yama.
But ultimately, you don't want him to dominate inside, and Mitchell Robinson needs a key to kind of stop him from doing so.
And I think when you think about how they brought him in, he was a free agent signing.
A lot of people questioned the move.
He wasn't a full-time starter in Dallas.
The Knicks were not a sexy destination for free agents.
