Donte DiVincenzo, Tom Thibodeau react to the return of Mitchell Robinson for the Knicks | SNY
I just you know, I thought created shots for each other created advantages trusted the past we got into a good Rhythm and then I thought our defense picked up in the second half rebounding was good. We had a number of guys, you know, step
Up and play. Well, it’s good to have Mitch out there again. The precious gave us really good minutes, you know juice got us started with you know, his aggressiveness and that was huge. And then you know Isaiah we had everyone played. Well first taste for Mitch out there. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Yep. So is each day he’s gotten better. You never know what to expect but it was a it’s a good Baseline for us in like the way he moved he’ll get better and better each day. Well, I think the big thing is you want to have the believe
Yet. It starts with belief that you can win. And what is the belief come come come from and it it’s from your preparation and the demonstrated ability to win and we always feel that if we defend and we rebound and we keep our turnovers down no matter where we are. No matter
Who we have if we do those three things, it’ll put us in position to win. So we understood when we had injuries to Julius and OG and Mitchell are not going to replace those guys individually. But we can do it collectively as a team. And so that’s what we’ve done all season and
We’ve gotten a lot better and then guys have gotten expanded roles and they’ve they’ve thrived with them. So it’s a credit to the work they’re putting in and not only their individual work but to work together, you know, so they’re creating good basketball on both ends of the floor. The challenge for us
Is keep getting better. Everyone in this league is capable of beating you sure I know There’s always the notion of you know, like all you should win this game. No not in the NBA you one you can’t get here without being a great player. Everyone has great players. And so
I think you’re making a huge mistake. If you don’t put the proper amount of preparations into each and every game and we’re not taking them lightly. I think every night you look and you see there’s there’s games that were a team that is an underdog prevails and there’s teams that we’ve seen 30-point
Leads dissipate in 19 point lead, you know, so you can never let your guard down and in this league and I think soon as you start feeling too good about yourself. That’s usually when you’re going to get knocked out. We talked a lot about McBride’s improved shop this year, but do
You see a different player right now just his confidence. Yeah, I think again where does she know it and it’s to go question. Like where does confidence come from? Well comes from your work that you put in and come. Your preparation and then
I think when you see the results and we saw in practice because you know what the volume of shots in the accuracy of his makes and practice and then and now you when you came back and training camp it was clear and and now that his role as expanded,
You know, he’s got a good Rhythm and he can really shoot the ball and and on top of that his defense has top-of-the-line. It’s it was really coming in and it It’s you know, it’s it’s special to watch. We love the depth that we have at the center position. So
Isaiah stepped in for Mitch Mitch was having a monster year before he got hurt Isaiah thrived in his role. Then Jericho stepped in and then we made the trade for precious precious is played really well at both positions. So that’s been an added bonus and then the way Josh plays
Is Marshall is because I don’t you just a good basketball player. He does everything he rebounds he placed tough defense. He competes on every play. He hits the open man. If you cut and you’re open you’re getting it and you met someone mentioned earlier 37 and says
Guys were trusting each other and that’s important 145 points for this team season High 37 assists how much fun are you guys have and when you’re kind of spraying the ball all over the floor and finding each other? Other yeah, I mean it’s a fun way to play basketball.
I think makes it better as you know, you have so many different guys that are capable of having big nights and no defensive have defenses have to adjust to you know, obviously Jalen me in the head of the snake and guys are just getting open looks and playing with a lot of
Confidence 2:40 is for the team Deuce with nine lives there any point where you were wondering if your record of 48 Hours was going to be broken. Yeah. I actually actually was curious. I thought it was going to leave him in there. I actually wanted him to
But you know No, obviously we’re up big. I told him he can’t have another chance to get it for sure. Would you think about Mitchell and his first appearance and months? It was great just to have him out there just have him happy just his Spirit. It really is contagious for us
And then not to mention. You know what he brings on the defensive that

You gotta respect what Donte said about deuce that what a real teammate supposed to do encourage you!!!
Lets gooo
ABSOLUTELY LET'S GO DONTE!!!!
10 games left to catch that 50 win plateau and this eas done with no smoke and mirrors the Knicks are legit
You could easily argue that the Knicks have been better without JR, OG and to an extent Mitch. So going forward Mitch may be the key. Randle may find himself on the outside looking in, especially if Boggie gets hot from the 3 point line. OGs defense is top shelf, so that cant be replace easily.
Please don’t pinch me in case I’m dreaming. Best Knicks organization top to bottom ever in my 45 years as a fan.
McBride is the next Joe Dumars.
Now we patiently wait for Randle & OG 🙏🏽
I love Achiuwa. He's tough, athletic and a great finisher. And he played for a great coach in Nurse, so he's fundamentally sound. That drive to the basket and slam near the end of the game was electric.
