And maybe he went away from him. Right. I mean, look, they have to go away from it. They have to look independent of whether he's making his free throws or not, because the reality is say the math would say you stick with it.

Really? Yeah. Regardless. Regardless. Here's why I say that. And, you know, I'm I'm not a. Oh, I know who the math kind of guy. But here's why. Because Porzingis isn't playable right now. He either literally is unplayable or he's figuratively unplayable. And as Mr. Robinson was getting rebounds and Cornette was hacking him, I was like, oh, they're screwed. If Luke Cornette gets in foul trouble.

So maybe you don't have to completely go away from hacking, but I do think you have to edit the strategy to some degree because Luke Cornett is picking up two, three, four superfluous fouls throughout a game. And that theory is, that strategy is viable when you're like, we need 15 good minutes at Luke Cornett, but you need 25 good minutes at Luke Cornett now.

So don't give him two or three or four extra fouls on his record. That's, He doesn't actually have six fouls to play with anymore.

Joe Mazzulla loves Mitchell Robinson, too. Like, Joe Mazzulla is doing this because he has the highest esteem for Mitchell Robinson. He wants him off the court. But I would just worry about Cornett's fouls with the way that Porzingis is playing. Like... that is an adjustment you're going to have to make moving forward.

I think where you're going to have to re proportion who's actually fouling and when you're doing it and how you're doing it, because I don't think you could just say, look, cornet, take three fouls and you're good. I just, I don't know if you can do it. It also allows the Knicks to get their defense set up when they hack.

And that's part of the reason why Mitchell Robinson lineups are defending so well, because they're just able to keep their matchups and look at the Celtics, all the three Celtics got tonight. How many of those threes happened? Because the Knicks just didn't match up for whatever reason. They didn't run back. They didn't communicate. They didn't pick up Derek White.

They didn't pick up Peyton Pritchard. They didn't pick up their own guy. And so there was a mismatch that Celtics could exploit, and the Knicks had to go into rotation. They weren't switching well either, so they were screwed on that. Like, how many times did they just get...
