New York Knicks Center Mitchell Robinson Will Be Worth the Wait Once defensive-centric center Mitchell Robinson returns to the floor from injury, he'll be well worth the wait for the New York Knicks.

Mitchell Robinson hasn’t played basketball in eight months.

He’s contributed nothing to the Knicks on-court product so far this season.

And he will be worth the wait.

The Knicks are 9-0 against the Nets since Nic Claxton said this. They have won those games by an average margin of 10.8 points.

Jalen Brunson against the Hawks today:

34 points (game high)
6 assists
66% FG
60% 3PT

Dyson Daniels fouled out with a minute to go.

There was a 100% (4/4) success rate on the challenges issued by both teams in the Knicks vs. Hawks game. NBA officiating is in the gutter.

If you feel like OG Anunoby is trying to do too much when he takes it off the dribble, it’s because he is.

Nearly a 20% difference in EFG% when he doesn’t dribble at all vs. when he takes three or more

The Knicks' bench was outscored by the Pistons' bench by a total of 46-13 tonight.

Detroit played five reserves for a total of 89 combined minutes.

New York played four reserves for a total of 42.

Unacceptable.

Missed this stat amid the sadness of the three-game skid, but Karl-Anthony Towns now holds the record for most three-pointers made by a Knicks center in a single season (74 and counting!)

Only players with a positive +/- for the Knicks in the first half:

Jalen Brunson (+8)
Mikal Bridges (+2)
OG Anunoby (+1)
Jericho Sims (+1)

Everyone else in the red

Karl-Anthony Towns is the first New York Knicks center to earn Eastern Conference Player of the Month since Patrick Ewing in 1994-95.

It had been six seasons since any Knick had a 30/20 game. Karl-Anthony Towns now has two in 13 days

Last season, the Knicks entered January on a three-game losing streak.

This season, they’re entering January on an eight-game winning streak.

With his third of the season tonight, Josh Hart has the second most triple-doubles by any player in the Eastern Conference this season, and the most by a shooting guard. #KnicksSky

The Knicks and Magic do NOT like each other. I love when you can see a rivalry forming in real time.

The Knicks are really good, so they need to start acting like it New York sits at 4th in the Eastern Conference but has struggled to show continuity.

25 games into the season, the Knicks need to take a look in the mirror. Read about why in my latest! (link below)

Karl-Anthony Towns’ 17 first-half rebounds are the most he has ever pulled down in a single half in his entire career. #KnicksSky

You can kill the man, but not the idea
