Deuce has quietly been ineffective, too. But Landry has rendered that moot.

I’m frustrated with Mitch, but I can’t allow myself to be mad at him. He talked earlier in the spring about dealing with mental health struggles. And that stuff is real. The timing of it is awful, and I hope it doesn’t cost us the series. But some things, people cannot control about themselves.

Yeah, I get it, and clearly he’s going through stuff so I can’t hate the guy.

But picking up a potentially series-altering injury after a year in which you were load managed with kids gloves before the biggest games in half a century is certainly frustrating.

He was clearly in some discomfort during Game 4 vs. CLE. Was that after the fact? Did he hide a partial fracture and then aggravate it? Did he punch someone or something? What is the gap between when the injury happened and when surgery was performed? Why was it called a pinky injury rather than a hand injury? It would be nice to have answers to these questions.

Alas, we only have that he injured it somewhere other than practice or a game, that the Knicks lied about it, and that he had surgery sometime last week (we don’t even know the day for sure.)
