He has not been right since he hurt his leg three games ago. I think something is bothering him physically. This is all part of the process of becoming an elite team. Randle and the other players have work through and fix their recent bad play. Team got too ****y and lost the ball movement they had earlier in the year.

I agree....relax. I heard Randle say he was hurt but will play anyway, b4 the Dallas game.

I hope he gets back to moving the ball soon.

He should be a second or third option on a champion team but I’m very happy to have him here as our number one. He just needs stop forcing some shots and pick up the defensive intensity a little more.

What did you expect to happen playing every game nearly 40 min a night.

It was always about who else can we get with Randle. At no point in time did I feel we could contend or even be a serious playoff team with just him.

My realistic expectation from game 1 was just to be a 1-10 seed.

But as we got closer to the top everyone raised the bar.

We are coming back down to reality. We will lose a lot but I feel we will get in that 1-10 spot

Best case scenario for the Knicks is to get a 8-13 pick and finish 10th

Culture change - Check

Better draft positioning - check

Compete in a playoff atmosphere - check

Perfect season

Then the real work starts

What do we do with 55m in cap and 10 picks in 3 years

This is our real season if you are a real Knick fan

Yup. That’s the goal

He consistently dribbles into double teams and gets stripped from the back side...bad court awareness. He was a pleasent surprise in the beginning of the season but when all said and done, on balance he's not the one we can build around.

hes a 260 pound guy whos been over played. He had a couple of injuries as well. Hes very good but we have to keep him below 35 minutes. They have to accept obi playing 15-17 minutes

Thibs needs to cut his minutes and play Obi and Knox more rest of the way.
