The Knicks have done a very good job of maintaining Mitchell Robinson's health throughout this season.

And so he lost his mind yesterday. Dyson Daniels finally got to him. And he was, it was B.S.

Because Dyson really started it and the foul should have been called on him.

Yeah.

But Joe Lombie lost his mind. And if he wasn't held back, he would have basically thrown Dyson 10 rows deep.

And an official actually fell down during the kerfuffle. But I thought him getting ejected was important. Joelle and Bede? What was that? You called Mitchell Robinson, Joelle Embed. Did I just call him that? Yeah, he said, Joel Embed lost his mind. Oh, I'm sorry. I guess I'm thinking ahead, aren't I? Yeah, that's what a premonition. Maybe. Well, Mitchell Robinson lost his mind. Much like Joel and B has lost his mind in the past. And I think ejecting him was the best thing that could have happened to the Knicks. For two reasons. A, keeps him healthy. You never know what happens. And just B, get them rest. And it worked out well for the NICS because in the fourth quarter of this game, nobody played. And at halftime, on inside the NBA, they actually had a legitimate discussion of should Mike Brown play any of his starters in the second half? We did get to that point. I don't know what the number was for you, Evan. But like seven minutes left in the third quarter, and I'm watching Jail and Brunson dribble. All I kept thinking about was this guy can't get hurt now. Yeah, it was actually a very interesting debate because at what point do you say, okay, it's over? Because there's also a level of disrespect. Like when you take the starters out, you are telling the world it's a cigar moment. When you take the starters out, which he effectively did late third quarter, that's normal.

Hey, you're taking your starters out. It's late third quarter. They get a few minutes to sit. That's not abnormal. If you come out in the second half and hook porties on the floor, it's like a human cigar moment, and it is very insulting to your opponent. And Mike Brown's a classy guy. I don't think you wanted to do that. I'm being serious.

I think that's a part of the thinking.

I think you start with them,

but I think they still went too long

in the third quarter with them.

I did. And Mike Brown's a classy guy. I don't think you wanted to do that. I'm being serious. I think that's a part of the thinking.

I think you start with them, but I think they still went too long in the third quarter with them.

I did in hindsight.

I don't know what the right answer is.

But I'm not worried about their other, like, who cares about the human cigar more? You got to worry about your stuff. Well, no, I'm just saying I do think that it calls attention to the fact that you've historically destroyed them by taking your starters out and starting the second half with Tyler Colick. That's all I'm sorry. I mean, or is it, we're pouring it on more by having Jalen Brunson run around on the floor. Yeah, I mean, you're doing that too. You know, it's kind of a pick your poison thing. But what I was surprised about, and I think all of us are surprised, I know the people down in Philadelphia are surprised, is how the Sixers Celtic series turned.

I mean, Boston had a three games to one lead in this series, and they had a 13-point lead in the third quarter of game five.

Just think about that for a second.

At home.

I mean, just add all that up. And the Sixers from late third quarter on were a completely different team.

Defensively, they were maniacal.

And so Philadelphia steals game five.
