Genuine question: are you referring to before or after the series?

Were you bullish on the Hawks and predicting a series win for them before game 1 based on Robinson's absence?

It was actually during the series where I became super frustrated at Clint Capela FEASTING down low without having Mitchell Robinson down low to fight against him.

But that still didn't stop (some) Knicks fans from killing coach Tom Thibs.

Not having Mitchell Robinson and not having Derrick Rose as our 6th man off the bench (forced to start due to Elfrid being benched) is what made ATL look so good against us.

Tonight's game? Toronto is without Pascal Siakam. Just like we were without Mitchell Robinson last year vs. ATL. Good. Now let's see if Toronto is good enough and deep enough to overcome it.

And Scottie Barnes? If Toronto can not overcome being without their Rookie for ONE GAME? Well then that's their problem.

That's disappointing for me. Because I was looking forward to R.J. Barrett destroying the Rookie.

With Pascal Siakam and Scottie Barnes? I would've predicted Knicks by 15+.

Without Pascal Siakam and Scottie Barnes? I'm predicting Knicks by 25-30+.

Either way. I don't think Toronto stood a chance @ MSG (to begin with).
