Im ready to see Randle traded. He once again tried to play point forward, and in crunch time. After Payton dived and saved a loose ball, instead of rewarding him by giving it back, he walked up the ball, and did nothing with it. Trying to play hero ball, messing up the flow. Thought he's been disrespectful to Payton.

Glad to see Trier get minutes, looks like he didnt have much faith in his shot. Love how Frank is finding an open spot on the court and shooting off the dribble. Taking it to the rim. Frustrating that he still cant knock down those jumpers. Looked like he was trying to push the ball through the net, not much from his fingers, not rotating the ball enough IMO.

This. I remember reading somewhere that in Miller’s first game that he called a time out when Randle started his point forward nonsense and told Randle to ‘cut that **** out’. He needs to do it again.

The return of bad Randle is not a good look for Miller. If this continues he does not have a chance of lasting beyond this season.

Randle just looks like a grumpy guy out there and he cares little about defense it seems. And to me he seems like a follower type guy who needs a real Alpha guy on court with him to keep him in line

Cant blame that all on Randle.....Mitch shouldve never set that pick, forcing Morris left into traffic. Randle shouldve cut through....Morris shouldve ignored the pick, and drive right anyway. Low IQ, low court awareness by all 4 players....and lack of execution by coach. I also thought mitch shouldve stayed on the bench in crunch time. Bad sub by coach to bring Frank. This game might be Mike Miller's ticket back to g league. And randle trade either this season or next will and should happen.

Have to assume this would happen with no go to player ON THE ROSTER...and our best players are forwards. So throw the FO into this blame. And bring in Dolan for hiring the FO. While I'm at it, blame us fans and the media for putting the pressure on the team to win now....eventhough we should be tanking again while playing the youths. Enough blame to go around in this game.....and this season.

Born in Brooklyn, Raised in Queens, Lives in Maryland. The future is bright, I'm a Knicks fan for life!

What?

Nobody pressed the team to win now.

Don’t excuse the incompetence of the front office by blaming the fans.
