Just checked Mitchell stats, in game 6 vs Atlanta he had a 208 ORtg and an 88 DRtg.

I think he's our X-Factor.

All annoying white guys look the same!
Is Shamet our guy? Is he annoying enough? IS this why we need Kolek?

Have Mitch play the first 6 mins of quarters so that "Hack-a-Mitch" is not usable a strategy. They are not going to start fouling while they are not yet in the penalty.

Are you assuming Knicks coaching is not cognizant of how and when teams will use the strategy?
Wouldn't hacking be sort of situational to the game and what is happening?
Also how is Mitch's minutes now patterned assuming KAT is not in foul trouble and how would it differ than what your proposing?
If they would use the strategy as you suggest, what are we taking away?

Here we go again.
No, I'm not assuming anything about the Knicks coaching staff. I'm on a Knicks FAN SITE AND EXPRESSING AN IDEA/OPINION. Is that so hard to comprehend?

I asked questions in respect to your idea. You have repeated it so I just assumed you have some chess moves thought through.
Is that so hard to comprehend?
Your either really into this and thought it thru or arrogant to think your steps ahead of coach.
Being on a fan site we talking hoop. Talk hoop.

Nalod is like a boxer. He waits for you to swing, then counters.

I actually don't know what he gets out of being here. Doesn't express an actual sports opinion/idea, just wants to play hall monitor and/or take down others talk.

Not a fan. We have a good thing going. I want us to establish our rhythm doing what we’ve been doing w KAT in high post and lots of movement

When Mitch comes in he has to make his minutes impactful and hit FT if fouled.

I respect your opinion.

Thanks fwiw I think your idea is clever. I just don’t like messing w a good thing and we have one going right now

Also seems like KATs rim protection has improved. When he’s the hub, he becomes a well rounded player. Will be interesting to see if Mike brown makes any changes. My guess is nope. Let them adjust to us.
