Jalen Brunson had five fouls in one quarter. The Knicks were put into rotation constantly. They didn't pick up guys in transition. Boston completely took advantage of that, which was somewhat of a problem all night. Derek White was freeing himself left and right. No rhyming scheme intended whatsoever. They... Boston just played like a much better team. Fantastic game from Jalen Brown, I thought.

Fantastic two-way performance, picking it up with Jason Tatum missing his first game. And Luke Cornett with a third quarter for the ages, five blocks in the third quarter for Luke Cornett, with him being the halftime adjustment. But Kristaps Porzingis not coming out to start the second half and Luke Cornett starting there. So, I mean, a bad night for the Knicks, but a really great night for Boston.

Could be. I mean, there are a couple of questions that I have after that game five. And they're kind of all and maybe they're more than a couple, but all of them involve the starting lineup to a degree. I mean, Mitchell Robinson has been.

best non-brunson player in this series so far you look at the impact metrics and it's not even close he coming into this game he and miles mcbride were the only two players on the team who were a plus when they were on the floor and robinson was a plus 35 mcbride was a plus five and the reason he's a plus five is because he plays so many of his minutes with mitchell robinson because they come off the bench together

I mean, when Mitchell Robinson was on the court coming into this game, the Knicks were recovering 38% of available offensive rebounds, which is just obscene. It is an unbelievable number. And you watch the games and you're like, how is it not more like he's just is getting a hand on everything. Their defense is a million times better when he's out there because it was pick and roll defense.

And he hit all six of his three throws in the game tonight. So obviously that wasn't a problem. That could be something you go to that double big lineup. You know, Mitchell Robinson ended up closing that first half for the Knicks over Carl Anthony towns. Cause towns had three fouls and he was playing well enough and towns was struggling enough to,

that you kind of forgot that the reason that he was playing was because Towns had three fouls. He kind of felt like it could have, if Towns had two, kind of felt like it could have just been a basketball decision because earlier in the playoffs, Tibbs actually closed the game with Mitchell Robinson. I wonder about the starters in general.

You know, the starters all year have been somewhat underwhelming compared to what we thought this team was going to be given its lineup construction. They were only plus 4.1 per 100 possessions during the regular season. which is obviously above average.
