You knew those "We Want Obi" chants were going to get to him. It's not the first time he's gotten pissed at Obi or RJ chants. Can't share the limelight.

I don't trust that rumor (it's probably just someone watching the body language and taking it one step further) - but the fact that it's believable in the first place is pretty ****ty.

Everyone in MSG was just ragging on Randle last night. One section was chanting "Obi Toppin" another section chanting "We want Obi". When Obi got up from the bench and to the scorers table the place started cheering. I looked at Randle and that dude was hurt. Like someone ran over his dog hurt. Dude is not built for NY.

I got there early to watch them warmup. I saw Rose practicing and Randle shooting by himself. Rose was with his kid and I guess he/they hired 4 guys to warm him up. They were running PnR plays and defending Rose. It was pretty impressive to me that he/they hired basketball players to just warm him up.

Randle did not warm up with any of this teammates. When they were being introduced out of the tunnel, he wasn't with the team. They came out and I didn't see him. I could be wrong and maybe I just missed him. However, he emerged a few minutes later and joined the team. Weird.

Honestly I was Randle's biggest supporter last year. I am not sure what happened but if he keeps this garbage up he can seriously go f$uck off .

This is pure speculation but Randle's lack of leadership behind the scenes could be why RJ out of nowhere decided to step up and be the leader. It seemed like at the start of the year RJ was content being number 2. Out of no where he stepped up both in game and leadership. It was sudden and very apparent the change in his aura.

I have a different take.

I think FO/coaches wanted to push RJ to take that mantel and it added to Randle's mental decline

Sounds about right...

Yup. Very plausible. Either way, man is a mental midget

Imagine supporting a player who's game has dropped off a cliff from last season, yet still leads the team in assists. Gee, where the **** have I heard all this before?
Oh yeah, from the same azzholes who were busy making a UK career pissing all over Melo.

How do your quads feel while you're pissing on your team's best player?

wow. doubling-down on belligerent love for players who sulk when everything's not going their way? speaking of pissing, why weren't you doing a better job of guarding your cornflakes this morning?

Hmmm, I'm supporting a player on the team that won. And wait, that team is my team! Look at that!
Why do I need to guard my cornflakes? He may be a sulking azzhole right now for reasons unknown, but like it or not, he also happens to be one of the main reasons for 7 or the last 9 wins.

I happen to like winning games.

I recall weeks/months ago Randle said he was playing better to start games when properly warmed up. I thought the not being in the intro has been a thing for a while now?
Seems for a guy that was the darling last year and very grounded odd to be suddenly so petty or jealous after getting financial security. Did he feel sour after taking his deal? Is he upset knicks are not helping him reach his incentives?
AKA: This about the money?
Playing time? Featured stardom? He feel betrayed?

Carton is a pathological liar. He’s “scooped” lots of ridiculous rumors involving the jets over the years — a couple years ago according to him they were about to trade for Deshaun Watson. This is in addition to him literally embezzling fans for tickets with that bs website - he got criminally prosecuted for that


Evan Roberts is a hack too.


Carton is scum and Roberts is his bobo. This show is so bad I listen to the Michael Kay Show instead.

I really miss Francesa

That statement is a perfect picture of how low WFAN has sunk.
