Obi played very well to end the season. There’s absolutely no guarantee he can follow through but he sure looked good.
Fans will likely have short fuse w Randle and if he doesn’t bring it consistently —it will be a nightmare problem.
Dear lord jesus that Randle put his thumbs down. Tell us, was he doing that for aspeccific moment or in hindsight a whole season to ALL THE FANS ROUND THE WORLD? He should be a good knick, and the more money he makes an emmotionally void one and be nice to the fans. Especially all of us who rarely attend a game in person. Dear goodness, that poor reporter (Bond) asked randle after the game what he meant by the thumbs down. What randle might have been upset about was how this was now being reported as a thing and would make him look bad. It did and his comment was worse.
So lets trade him because after a slow start, he was booed. Then later in the game he scored and he put thumbs down.
Resepct the Timeline I preach………..
Lets go to the moment. who did they play?. Celtics. After a slow start, randle finished 8-20. But if he started slow, as depicted the boos, makes sense that 8-20 he got hot there.
Respect the time line.
WHo won? Knicks came back!!!!! This was the JR Barrett buzzer beater. Knicks must have felt pretty good……
Maybe randle. Likley this was a game Kemba did not return.
And feeling good, Bondy asks that question.
So lets forget the day, and ****ing trade him after all fans deserve to never be told the player does not like the boos. Make sure we lop all that is bad into one narrative and forget all he can do.
Did Love his body language all season? No. But im not shortsighted to weigh the good and bad and at least understand this, and others things were met with and discussed and its either disclosed behind closed doors what his problem was, how it was going to get fixed, or he told them he wants out.
But lets not pretend Randle is knocking over wheel chair bound grandmas and raping choirboys, Obi and IQ are being oppressed, and Thibs is clueless as a coach. Shit happens. lets see how its dealt with.
Its easy to promote fables. Briggs is a highly intelligent poster but we all make mistakes. I reapeat, we all do. But its important we self correct and understand the context of things the moment it occurred. Otherwise we parrot the inaccuracy making it more legit. Respect the timeline.
