**Craig Carton** (0:00)
Carton Show, Big Mac, Player to Watch, brought to you by Untucked. Shirts designed to be worn untucked, untucked.com. Your player to watch tonight has got to be Mitchell Robinson.

**Chris McMonigle** (0:13)
Mitchell Robinson.

**Craig Carton** (0:14)
Because with all the nonsense about his finger and all that stuff, Mitchell Robinson playing tonight, I think, keeps the Nick kind of vibes and mojo going. So that is the Untucked player to watch for me for tonight's game. Now real quick on that, Big Mac.
I always find it, you want to say something first?

**Chris McMonigle** (0:31)
I was just going to ask you, do you think we find a, do we find out what happened to him at any point during this series?

**Craig Carton** (0:37)
No. I think we find out after the series though. Yes. Because they did say it happened at home.

**Chris McMonigle** (0:42)
Yes.

**Craig Carton** (0:43)
So then it becomes, now it's a Mitchell story, no one else's story to tell. But I thought it was so cheesy today, when Brian Wienhorst went on Get Up on ESPN, and made it like he had a breaking story around Mitchell Robinson's broken whatever, where he said, look, it's being misreported, he didn't break his pinky, he broke his fifth metacarpal.
That's what they announced.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:06)
Yes.

**Craig Carton** (1:07)
We made it the pinky, collectively. Because that's where the fifth metacarpal is, runs down the pinky to the wrist.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:13)
Yes.

**Craig Carton** (1:13)
Right? Now, we were debating, myself included, Oh, we were. Was it the tip of the pinky? Was it the base of the pinky? And then Dr. McGonigle over here said, my belief is that it's the pinky, the bone underneath the knuckles closed down towards the wrist.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:29)
Yeah.

**Craig Carton** (1:30)
You got it right.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:30)
I did.

**Craig Carton** (1:31)
Nice job.

**SPEAKER_3** (1:32)
Thank you.

**Craig Carton** (1:32)
But my point of bringing it up is that...

**Chris McMonigle** (1:35)
Wasn't it to just say I was right?

**Craig Carton** (1:37)
Well, you were right, but you were right on Monday.

**SPEAKER_3** (1:39)
Yeah.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:39)
No, I know.

**Craig Carton** (1:41)
Winn-Horse comes out today like he's breaking a story that nobody knew about. First off, the Knicks are the ones that told us Fifth Metacarpal, and they told us that five days ago.
You then went on the radio on the Most Listed To Talk Show in the afternoon in all of New York City and said, I don't think it's the tip, Craig, I think it's the base. How low can you go? Death Row, what a brother-no. And you were right. Yes, I was. So Brian Winn-Horse knows everybody an apology. And certainly me. Yes.
Yeah, breaking news. It's not as pinky. Yeah. Yeah, we know that doofus. We're well aware. I hate when they do that pisses me off. Like it's a break. It's not a breaking news story.

**Chris McMonigle** (2:25)
Right.

**Craig Carton** (2:26)
The Knicks put out a press release.

**Chris McMonigle** (2:27)
Well, yeah, they didn't. They specified the bone, which we could tell was a hand injury.

**Craig Carton** (2:32)
Fifth Metacarpal.

**Chris McMonigle** (2:34)
Yeah. Well, I'm still fascinating to see how he plays, but I'm glad he's going to be.

**Craig Carton** (2:38)
I think he's going to be great.

**Chris McMonigle** (2:39)
I think he's going to be fine.

**Craig Carton** (2:40)
Great. I think he's going to be fantastic. That's our player to watch anyway.

**Chris McMonigle** (2:43)
That is our player. Imagine he just comes out and is just like, screw this. I'm going to dominate this game. Let's go. Hit every foul shot. I can't wait. By the way, I can't wait for tonight.

**Craig Carton** (2:52)
I think the free throws might be better.

**Chris McMonigle** (2:54)
It can't be worse.

**Craig Carton** (2:54)
With the damage Metacarpal.

**Chris McMonigle** (2:56)
He's shooting 30 percent in the playoffs. 30

**Craig Carton** (2:58)
He's shooting less than that for his career, by the way.

**Chris McMonigle** (3:00)
Is he really worse than that? Or I thought I thought that was a step down. No, no.

**Craig Carton** (3:03)
It's a step up, actually.

**Chris McMonigle** (3:04)
Oh, my God.

**Craig Carton** (3:05)
Actually, career-wise. It ain't good.

**Chris McMonigle** (3:09)
It ain't good. It is not good.

**Craig Carton** (3:11)
It is not good. This is now I know how you guys feel.

**Chris McMonigle** (3:16)
Before big games.

**Craig Carton** (3:16)
When you have a team in a big game. Yeah. Jet fan, haven't had a big game since 2011 OK, to be fair, January 23, 2011 Jet Steelers, last big game I've had. All right.
