NEW YORK — Column contributor Irwin Sirotta wants New York Knicks coach Mike D'Antoni to know how greatly indebted the Celtics and their faithful are to him for his overly generous contribution.

Robinson's constructive impact — 13 points in the second quarter of a game already decided — figures to be momentary; the crack of dawn allocated by Doc Rivers will never be large enough to allow the ex-Knick his specialty of winning it for either side.
