Knicks struggling to defend anyone without Mitchell Robinson with no clear solution
NY Post
LOS ANGELES — After his team allowed 144 points in its latest defensive dud, RJ Barrett briefly struggled to find a reason for the Knicks’ high porosity.
He quickly landed on Mitchell Robinson.
“I think we miss Mitch, that’s the first thing,” Barrett said after the Knicks were roasted by the Clippers on Saturday night.
It was always assumed the Knicks would take a step back without Robinson, who underwent ankle surgery last week.
But not to this degree.
In the past six games — including four without Robinson (and really five since he was laboring during the defeat to Boston) — the Knicks are allowing (shield your eyes) 132 points per contest.
