In Atlanta, I arrived extra early for the Knicks game. An hour before the tip, Robin Lopez was working on his pick and pop game and post up moves. About 20 minutes, non-stop. No break.
Lopez finished with a season-high 19 points on 9-for-12 shooting. He pulled down only four rebounds but his presence helped the Knicks compete with Chris Bosh, Hassan Whiteside and the rest of the Heat on the boards (New York was outrebounded (by one), 35-34).
If Robin Lopez shows up, stand back.
He is definitely a lot more aggressive the last 10 games. He must have heard the criticism, because he took his game to a different level.

I hope he hangs out with Lance Thomas or his brother this summer and fine tunes his 8-15 ft jumpshot.
