Knicks

After 3 playoff games Randle in lead for most regressed player award. After averaging 37 points vs hawks in regular season he has been nothing short of horrible in this series but to suggest sitting him and giving up would be unheard of.
 
Glad I missed this game. Win the next one and even it up. It’s that simple

You picked the perfect game to miss. I'm going to tune in for the second half tomorrow after getting a little beach in and hope for the best! 

I think they'll be ready but it's gotta be someone other than Derrick leading the charge. He's done his part.  
 
Man....Randle is just awful.

carried team this season but not post season fire to lead and carry a team.

You don't win in the playoffs when your best player fails to show up 4 games in a row; unfortunately just that simple.
 
Losing to a more talented team. No harm in it. 

still love this group. Brought the Knicks franchise out of a decade long coma. Were never contenders. Hopefully they can win game 5 and give the fans one last great moment 
 
Disgusting.  The knicks should be playing better they dont look like the team that finished the season at all
 
 Randle's payback elbow to Gallinari did remind me a little of Oak man and the good old days...
 
Only hope they have to avoid a debacle of a loss is if quick gets crazy hot
 
Knicks not showing a lot of heart in first 3 quarters. Now or never, no excuse to not make it close at home. 
 
Bottom line....Knicks need more talent.  Great job by Thibodeau this year.

Team was totally exposed.  Need shooters a playmaking PG and so much more.  Sorry but randle doesn’t deserve a max contract.  I’d look to move him

I thought the Knicks overachieved this season, and like you said, was exposed in the playoffs.  I think they're a couple of solid players away from really making noise in the playoffs.  

One of my childhood friends said the same thing last night, regarding Randle.  He said, he would look to move him after the season.  
 
To me the main storyline of the series is that the Hawks had a lot of options (and used them all) to stop the Knicks best player) while the Knicks had nobody to stop the Hawks best player.  Atlanta was able to throw a whole lot of long bodies at Randle to prevent him from taking over the game, and the Knicks didn't have enough offensive firepower elsewhere on the roster to make up for that.  Barrett is not an A-list player.  Rose is a total pro, but he can't be your bellcow.  Quickley isn't ready.  And Randle is good, but he isn't LeBron.

Meanwhile, Atlanta has a whole bunch of good pieces around Trae Young, and the Knicks just didn't have a guard who was capable of playing with him.  Personally I would have tried to attack him at the other end of the floor either by playing Quickley more or trying to iso him, but I"m not going to second-guess Thibs, he's an excellent coach.

Knicks need to add a top-flight point guard and upgrade some of the other pieces, plus get development from Barrett, Quickley, Toppin.  Lonzo Ball might be a good option for them.
 
I have to see who is available FA wise but I wouldn’t blow money on Paul as a stop gap Ball might be my first choice but I’d be fine taking a less expensive option like dinwiddie
