So that's only a strategy late in quarters, so Thibs needs to adjust WHEN he plays Mitch. I think he needs to come in early after 3-4 minutes. Play the middle minutes of the quarter, and then bring back KAT late in quarters.

there's a way to play Mitch 20mpg and have him impact the game defensively without having him being fouled.

Honestly think it requires a bit of a perfect storm of situations for them to resort to that. Towns was out with foul trouble so they knew we wouldn't go back to him, don't think they would hack Mitch just to let us put Towns back in. Also don't think they would hack Mitch when their offense is flowing because it completely shuts the game down. So if we are in the penalty, Towns is stuck on the bench, and the game script is ugly and they are trying to protect a small lead is probably the only time you will see them resort to this.

And if Mitch his 50% of his FTs they probably stop. I'm not that worried about it but Mitch HAS to shoot better, he's not even close.

Surely you'd rather spend time with people who actually like and want to celebrate Porzingis, no? Are there any out there or is that why you come back?

Indiana won't be a cake walk. That's not a matchup I like.

We weren’t healthy last year. Indy just feasted on an injured Cleveland. Fuck Indy let’s get to the finals snd show them what a healthy Knicks roster can do. We’ll send Hallibitch crying to his daddy 😁
