‘Hack-a-Mitch’ could be a Knicks problem if Cavs commit to it

To an astute NBA analyst, the Hack-A-Mitch cannot be a passive technique.

Either Kenny Atkinson believes in it sufficient to experience by means of some Mitchell Robinson conversions, or the Cavs coach should not do it.

“If you go that route, commit to that. Commit to it,” Tim Legler, who known as Tuesday’s Game 1 as ESPN’s lead analyst, instructed The Post. “Don’t let him make two in a row or three out of 4 and suppose, ‘OK, we’re going to get away from that.’ No. No. S–t. Make him shoot eight or 10.”

Robinson, 28, is a proven, dynamic rebounding force for the Knicks, a fame solid three years in the past when he punked the Cavaliers in a first-round playoff collection. But his foul taking pictures has alternated between inconsistent and dreadful, limiting his alternatives on the courtroom (he entered the convention finals averaging simply 14.4 minutes within the playoffs and taking pictures 38 % from the road).
