arguably the best defensive team getting back its best rebounder and rim protector.

Once OG comes back our defense will be so tough to score on especially with officials allowing teams to be more physical.

Imagine a lineup of Mitch, OG, Josh, Deuce, and JB.

I hope Robinson plays for sure. Perfect game to get his feet wet in.

He's playing tonight or Friday latest.

Bron and JJ mentioned of one the triangle actions the Knicks run for Brunson around 33:40. Pretty cool albeit short breakdown.

it would be silly to hold him out until the playoffs and then just expect him to contribute with playoff level intensity for a guy that hasn't played in 3 months

I dont know if that would be their expectation or morose of an effort to give it a "college try"... with the longest possible recovery rehab time. He could very well just miss the playoffs...we'll see.

honestly I think Mitch just comes off the bench for the rest of the season into the playoffs. Unless of course we are facing a Embiid or Jokic in the playoffs.

The rotation's and start/bench will be a fascinating side note to this season when we are healthy.
