Knicks

Whatever mojo Randle had going this season is gone. And he’s taking far too many shots down the stretch of close games when he clearly just doesn’t have it.
RJ Barrett 29 points tonight on 10-14 shooting and 6-6 from downtown.
the Knicks need a point guard. It’s clear as day. Late in games they have no identity and it’s costing them. If they had a true point guard who could run the offense effectively and also score a little too....
unfortunately it feels like Jalen Suggs is the missing puzzle piece... ugh too bad we aren’t bad enough to get him

Maybe I’m overreacting, but it just feels like Thibs and the staff squeezed everything they could out of a roster that isn’t very talented... and they are simply out of juice. Don’t think this is gonna be a good final month

Jack, agree it's going to be a tough final month especially with the end of season West coast trip. However, none of us expected playoffs as a possibility and I do think they will at least get a play in berth which is something. To me, we have to stay with the program, not give up any draft choices and go with the core of Barrett, Quickley, Randle, Toppin (who I still believe in), Robinson & get a point guard in the draft.
I am not disappointed in this year at all.

I’m not disappointed either, but it just sucks to see a team that has provided a lot of great moments for me as a fan, kinda run out of gas right before our eyes.NCJohnnie post=431046 said:
I like the core and I think the future is bright, but some things need to be addressed when it comes to Thibs and his rotation. Seeing Randle run out of gas like this, it speaks to multiple games this year where the Knicks were blowing teams out but Thibs had Randle out there in the fourth.
I appreciate Thibs for making the Knicks competitive, but this has been his reputation his entire coaching career. He runs guys into the ground. And seeing it happen with Randle right now is pretty damn sobering
Please excuse me while I step away from the ledge
Also please excuse me while I change my profile pic to the future king of New York City

Randle 4-4 from the field and the announcers just called his last bucket the Jack Williams Jumper

LOL. It definitely looked like he had an extra jolt of energy last night. Maybe it was because he was playing against the team that drafted him.

I didn’t see the game but Knicks huge road win over the Mave. Randle 44 points. I gotta be honest while I don’t watch a lot of other nba games outside of the Knicks I’m not saying he’s the MVP but when you think about where the Knicks would be without Randall the idea of him at least being on the outside of the bubble isn’t that far fetched IMO. Coach really the MVP but without Randle even though I like some of the other players does anyone think we’d have 15 wins without Randle ?
Knicks play next 6 at home and 4 of their 6 opponents are under .500 before going on very tough 6 game west coast trip. Win 4 of the next 6 and they will give themselves an excellent chance to finish .500 which would be huge given pre-season expectations.
