Great recognition by McConnell, who throws it into Tony Bradley going against a small defender. Bradley getting backup center minutes over Bryant as he challenges Mitchell Robinson.
Pacers positive on the glass; Knicks haven’t committed a turnover. – 8:32 PM

I wonder how often Knicks will assign Mitchell Robinson to Pascal Siakam rather than Myles Turner.
Siakam is greater interior threat:
-points in paint per game, reg. season/playoffs -> Siakam 10.5/10.3, Turner 5.4/5.7
-restricted area attempts -> Siakam 4.4/4.3, Turner 2.6/2.8 – 7:48 PM

Knicks make a change to the starting lineup, insert Mitchell Robinson for Josh Hart.
Usual 5 for the Pacers. – 7:47 PM

I know this would be a deviation, but I wonder if Mitchell Robinson starts the second half. If Thibs wants to play him 18ish minutes in the second half, it’s easier to do that with the first nine of the third and last nine of the fourth than for the final 18 mins of the game. – 9:05 PM

Steve Popper: I wouldn’t take anything from Thibodeau quotes because he always says that. But people I’ve spoken to sound like Mitch for Hart is trying. -via x.com / May 25, 2025
Stefan Bondy: Josh Hart this morning on potentially moving to the bench: “I’ve been the 15th man, I’ve been the third man, I’ve been the sixth man, I’ve been whatever. I truly feel like I’m a starter in the league. I think I played amazing this year. So, if it happens, cool. I cant’ sit here and preach about sacrifice and getting out of our own personal agendas and then a decision like that is made and then be mad at it.” -via Twitter / May 25, 2025
Down 2-0 in the conference finals, the New York Knicks are seriously considering a change to their starting lineup for Sunday’s Game 3, sources confirmed to ESPN’s Shams Charania. Coach Tom Thibodeau is considering moving backup center Mitchell Robinson into the starting five for wing player Josh Hart, sources told Charania. It would mark the first change all season to the Knicks’ starting five of Hart, Jalen Brunson, Mikal Bridges, OG Anunoby and Karl-Anthony Towns when those five are listed as available and healthy. -via ESPN / May 25, 2025
Knicks Videos: Rick Carlisle talks about what makes Mitchell Robinson so tough to go against: “He’s a rebounding machine. He’s physical. He has great hands. He just goes every single time and he just has a great presence in there. It’s almost impossible for one person to block him out.” -via x.com / May 25, 2025
