First, the excellent news: Ben Stiller could know the reason for Mitchell Robinson’s foul capturing woes.
The unhealthy information? The “Zoolander” star thinks he could also be guilty.
“Fat Joe and I see each other at games,” Stiller mentioned on “Don, Hahn & Rosenberg” on Wednesday earlier than the surprising 138-135 extra time loss to the Pacers in Sport 1.
“He was telling me that there are games that I stress him out too much. That he sees me across the court and is like ‘Oh, Ben, you’re stressing me out. I see your face and I see you worrying.’ I started to feel like, Wait a minute, I’m affecting Fat Joe’s experience of this game? We’re all in this together. I had no idea.”
Go away it to fellow Celeb Row staple Tracy Morgan to place it into context.
“I started to get self-conscious that maybe I’m affecting the players because I’m not putting out a more confident front or something,” Stiller mentioned. “Tracy Morgan was saying ‘The players sense when we’re stressed out, and you can’t let them know that we’re stressed out.’”
“Now we got to the bottom of why Mitchell Robinson missed all those free throws!” co-host Peter Rosenberg mentioned. “He saved wanting over you!
“Exactly!” Stiller mentioned. “Which is ironic for Tracy to be saying that, given his history…”
Morgan famously vomited courtside and was taken out of the Backyard through wheelchair because of what he later mentioned was meals poisoning.

No matter points Stiller could have, they didn’t hold him away from Sport 1 towards the Pacers on Monday and sitting via the Knicks’ epic collapse.
Groups have employed a “Hack-a-Mitch” technique to date within the playoffs, capitalizing on the middle’s postseason struggles — he’s made simply 18 of his 48 free-throw makes an attempt for a pitiful 37.5% success fee via 13 video games.
He missed each makes an attempt Wednesday night time.
Stiller did give props to “true blue, real-deal” Knicks fan Timothee Chalamet, whom he traveled to Detroit with for first-round video games towards the Pistons.
“He lives and breathes it,” Stiller mentioned of his fellow actor.
Chalament was amongst these with a front-row seat Wesdnesday night time, joined by the likes of Stiller, Livvy Dunne, Martha Stewart, Jon Hamm, Susie Essman, Larry David, and, in fact, Morgan.
