Full team effort, big ass win and they picked up JB when he needed it. Mitch went off, Randle went off, RJ hit a stride. Loved this game, really speaks to the identity of this team and how it’s a bunch of leaders who can all step up

Mitch is on some whole other shit rn. This is the evolution of a top tier Center

Knicks understood the assignment.

The whole team is lifting up JB in a down game. You absolutely love to see it

Randle is feasting tn

These refs stay fucking the Knicks lmao

The passing is on point this game

Mitch is having a fucking GAME

The defense is phenomenal

Breen is relentless on Bridges. And I am fucking here for every minute of it

Whaaaat? Cuban sold the team? That’s wild af if true

Breen said “they fucking hate this piece of shit in case you can’t tell”

Lmao Bridges getting BODIED this game is incredible

Robinson is thriving, threes are jiving, Hornets are barely surviving. Knicks with the knack early!

That 3 was pure

Julius looking aggressive, Knicks defense looking suppressive you love to see it

I just feel like this is a blowout win already idk

Hey Fred, welcome to this crazy little slice of Reddit we call home during the season. Looking forward to the podcast.

My question pertains to Mitchell Robinson. He has always been a force defensively, but this year he seems to have stepped up to become a presence that leads by example for this team on both sides of the floor. Increasing his offensive rebounding, steals, blocking inbounds, fighting for extra possessions, hustling extra hard.

Is he somebody that the team and coach Thibs looks to as sort of the core identity of what this team wants to be now more than ever? And if so was that something he or the team has communicated that responsibility to directly or has it come naturally?

How quickly people forget the trajectory of this little guy named Giannis Antetokounmpo. 6.8 PPG his rookie year (lead rookies in blocks though), then 12.7, then 16.9, then 22.9 and 26.9…you get it.

Not saying they’re the same guy, but it gives a solid sense of comparison imo.
