Knicks center Mitchell Robinson tweeted he was the best center in New York over Nic Claxton after their win over the Nets.
Robinson eventually deleted the tweet, but he initially took to Twitter to boast about his fourth consecutive double-double since returning from a month-long absence following right thumb surgery on Jan. 19.
Claxton — who is averaging 12.5 points, 9.0 rebounds, 2.5 blocked shots and a league-best 71.0 field-goal percentage — had nine points and eight boards in 22 minutes Wednesday against the Knicks.Robert Sabo for NY PostJeff Van Gundy appreciates Tom Thibodeau’s ’90s Knicks comparison “I think Hart, his defensive rebounding is a huge component, that’s one. I also think you saw it twice [Wednesday] night, the ability to rebound, push and finish. Incredibly important to get layups in transition. And then I think the third thing is when can you play well when you don’t shoot well. Not that he didn’t shoot well [Wednesday] night [2-for-3], but he didn’t have a lot of shots, and he absolutely was dominant in his [26] minutes.
