Mitchie ain’t no snitchy, and he bike, got 18 dogs in the crib and he one of ‘em.
The Knicks are back on the NBA schedule with a home game against whatever’s left of the Philadelphia 76ers today.
New York will host Philly with the two teams chasing far opposite goals, one hunting for gold and the other one for… a lottery ticket to land an end-of-bench player? Sheesh…
Here are the tiny soundbites we missed from the last game against the Blazers on Sunday, ahead of tonight’s matchup.

On Delon Wright:
“He’s got great size at his position. That’s his gift, is his defense, and he gets a lot of deflections.
“He’s very good off the ball. It allows you to do more switching, so he has a great impact on the game.
“Plays hard on every possession.”
On Mitchell Robinson’s chops:
“He’s an elite pick-and-roll defender. His anticipation at the rim, he can cover up for mistakes.”
On the third-quarter defense and overall team performance on Sunday:
“Mitch’s defense was a huge factor in the third quarter. The ball pressure, the rim protection. When you have somebody like that out there, then everybody gets more aggressive.
“[OG Anunoby and Mikal Bridges] are playing at a very, very high level. [Hart] did all the things he normally does. I thought Delon [Wright] gave us great minutes. And then I thought our bench was really good.
“Looking at what Mitch brought to the game, what Precious [Achiuwa] brought to the game, Landry [Shamet], Tyler [Kolek], it was huge for us.”
Josh: “I was either gonna go to Rutgers or Penn State.”

On Landry Shamet’s contributions to the Knicks:
“He’s doing exactly what we need him to do.
“We love him being aggressive. We love him knocking down shots. And we need that to continue. Loving how he’s playing right now and continuing to give us energy.”
On Mitchell Robinson’s impact since returning from injury:
“Getting Mitch back allows us to be more aggressive on the ball. Obviously he’s back there and being able to block shots and deter shots allows us to be more aggressive on the ball.
“The last month and a half he’s been a monster defensively. Blowing up screens, blowing up handoffs, like a free safety on that back side.”
On the defensive turnaround vs. Portland:
“We played better defense. Played harder. It was that simple. It took us a little while to get started.”
