Mitchell Robinson dealing with hip injury

Brady Hawk @BradyHawk305
From the first play of the game to clutch late-game offense, the Heat spammed a certain action to test the Knicks’ defense:
Empty corner PnR
They wanted to get Mitchell Robinson out of position often, as I mentioned
This was one way they tried…. pic.twitter.com/Q8JD74UoAl – 5:29 PM

Kevin Love was more than complementary of Mitchell Robinson (and I think this is an admission he’s a @TheAthleticNBA reader):
“Keeping him off the glass — board man gets paid. It’s not easy keeping that 7-1 off the glass, 270 whatever he is.” – 5:06 PM

Mitchell Robinson acknowledges he’s dealing with pain in his hip. How much is he banged up?
“Very.” – 4:07 PM

Knicks have 8 offensive rebounds in this game. Mitchell Robinson had 11 by himself in Game 5 against Cleveland. – 2:56 PM

Kevin Love outlet to Jimmy Butler, part 2.
Great pass by Love, but smart timing by Butler to leak out when RJ Barrett gets his shot up. Heat have some confidence they can hang on the boards with the Knicks, and doing a good job of team rebounding to neutralize Mitchell Robinson. pic.twitter.com/AQLRc1zK90 – 2:50 PM

One reason the Knicks limited the Cavs’ transition opportunities is because Mitchell Robinson wrecked them so much on the boards that they had to swarm him and couldn’t leak out as much. The Heat doing a good job on the boards is part of how they’re doing this. – 2:38 PM

Mitchell Robinson is making Jimmy Butler think when he goes into the paint. – 2:25 PM

Stunned the Knicks only had four offensive rebounds in the first half. Thought Mitchell Robinson alone might average 17 or 18 per game in this series. – 2:11 PM

After 1: Knicks 32, Heat 21.
Fascinating quarter that showed the differences between the teams.
Knicks hold a 22-4 edge in paint points. Miami went 4-for-17 on 3s, including trying a 5-out lineup w/ Love at center vs. Mitchell Robinson.
RJ Barrett had 11 to lead all scorers. – 1:36 PM

Brady Hawk @BradyHawk305
As I said before, they want to get Mitchell Robinson out of position
That’s why they’re leaning into Love at the 5 early
Some high-low stuff immediately, Jimmy just misses – 1:25 PM

Steve Popper @StevePopper
RJ Barrett with a perfect lob to Mitchell Robinson — Barrett attacking Gabe Vincent every time. – 1:18 PM

Steve Popper @StevePopper
Knicks and Heat fans nervous as we approach game time. In the meantime…Mitchell Robinson was just playing one-on-one with Derrick Rose’s son. – 1:02 PM

Knicks starters:
Jalen Brunson
