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.

But the way the Knicks are constructed with a bunch of top-tier talent in their first unit, you want that lineup to be a really way, way higher number than plus 4.1 per 100. In the playoffs, they're a net negative. Coming into this game tonight, they were minus 22, the starting lineup was. In the Boston series, it's going to be worse after the way they got throttled in the third quarter.

You mentioned Luke Cornett's success. Part of the reason Luke Cornett had so much success is they could put him on Josh Hart and they weren't guarding Josh Hart and just let the dude hang in the middle. Like we say he was guarding Josh Hart. In reality, what they played was the opposite of a box. It was the opposite of a box and one. It was, it was Luke.

Yeah. One in a box. That's what we're going to call it. And it was four dudes playing man to man defense. And it was Luke Cornett playing his own, which is what they did. Like, it wasn't like we're roaming off of Josh Hart. It was just Luke. We're not going to play his own in the middle of the court.
