This is why I said from the beginning. I will not judge anyone in the starting lineup until I see them play without Randle. Not every player can just be a spot up shooter. We signed EF to bring more to the table than just spot up but then only use him as a spot up shooter. If we wanted just a spot up shooter you should have re-signed Bullock. Even though it is clear he is injured EF is better than what we have seen here because are were not using him correctly. Probably the same can be said for Kemba. The starters are too Randle centric which is why no matter who starts the constant is they always suck. No one is in a rhythm except Randle and Randle is not good enough to carry a team. They have no chance at being good playing this way.

This is another Thibs issue. The ability to get the most out of the team is his job. He did it well last year except the Elf situation. He has been really bad at it this year. I am not saying I want him fired or anything like that. I actually like Thibs but I am not blind to his many faults. I just want him to fix those faults. Like I have said many times before Kemba and EF did not forget to score over the coarse of 1 off season. They have been great scorers their entire lives. Now it is on Thibs to stop being stubborn and make the chess pieces around to get the most out of this team. Start with having the offense run through the guards 90% to 95% of the time.

Lmao

I think it’s more likely than not.

We should probably tell the Hawks now to just go to Westchester instead of the Garden.

Thibs kicked him in his knee while he was stretching and said “dipsh t you better make your threes”

Close, he actually told him to foul in the 4th Q despite the fact he had 5 fouls!😂

Walker also sounded perplexed at being told to foul intentionally in the backcourt late in the game. It was his sixth. “I was told to foul. I’m not gonna lie,’’ Walker said. “I didn’t know I had five. But I heard them on the sideline, they told me to foul. Very, very unfortunate situation, but that’s what I was told to do.’’.

Definitely sounds like Kemba and Thibs are sour with each other if you read the full article

Randles lackadaisical defense has been a theme all year. As much film as Thibs and his staff analyze, they have to see this. When Thibs preaches accountability clearly it doesn't apply to Randle....Dont think I can stomach watching this dude for another 4 years

Randle for Rick's son and bench fodder to match up the salaries. Honestly, Dallas might turn us down...

Knicks should be like, Randle, Fournier, Kemba for Brunson, Bullock, Frank, Burke, THJr.

Who says no? LOL

Might as well throw in Felton, Mozgov, Chandler, AR and Fields too 😅
