You thought bygone Knicks enigma Michael Beasley fouling out in just 10 minutes of floor time in a game last season was impressive? Rookie shot-blocker Mitchell Robinson just did it in nine. The fifth of Robinson’s fouls was a “Zaza Pachulia” flagrant for undercutting Nikola Mirotic on a 3-pointer with 1:00 left in the third…

One year later, David Fizdale will be back on Beale Street on Sunday. He will be armed with his first two-game winning streak as coach of the Knicks. Timing is everything in the land of the blues. “I didn’t want to walk in there just being miserable,’’ Fizdale said after his Knicks staged an 18-6…

Wow..could it be that Fiz is actually getting somethin out of Mudiay? If he pulls a rebuilding of Mudiay and Hezonja off, along with what he’s done with THJ and Vonleh, he deserves COY. Facts. I can’t lie- I’m impressed. I don’t know how long this will last, but I’m impressed nonetheless.
Another positive from last night’s game: we’ve moved past that phase from early in the season where we were screwed offensively if TH2 was having an off night. Tim played like utter garbage, and Burke cooled off after the recent hot streak, yet we were in the game the whole time, allowing Mudiay to play hero at the end. Progress!
So when KP comes back is Kanter out of the rotation? At this point Vonleh should be a fixture in the starting lineup and Mitch should be getting as many minutes off the bench as possible.
Sort of an interesting spin on the genesis of Fultz shooting problems and the Luck of the Irish/Celtics!
From Hoops Hype today:

I really hope Fultz turns things around, but honestly, any new information about his shooting at this point just sounds like spin, doesn’t it?
“Oh, actually, this is all because of a knee injury from essentially two years ago.”
Even if it turns out to be true, it still sounds like it is being tossed out as spin to protect how bad his rep has been hurt by all of this.
