You really can’t make this crap up.Randle kills weak ass Piston team - then starts 2-4 against Bucks only to finish rest of night 6-18 while proving zero resistance against Yannis.
Randle/Barrett really hard to watch and Obi playing soft as a marshmallow lately. Seemingly afraid to do anything outside of dribble hand-off and jacking 3s
and that's the thing that you get with Randle and despite his mediocre play the team still needs that. He plays angry. Last night he looked like a spaz and the Bucks will do that to you. I'm bothered by Randle's monster games vs. **** teams followed by the typical 6-18 when the level of competition goes up.
We also saw too much of Randle last night because Brunson didnt have a good game and is clearly banged up. Knicks had 2 offensive threats last night in Randle/RJ and nobody else. Obviously Randle was not good but it wasnt for lack of effort. I'm not defending him beyond Giannis will do that to you.
We literally got steamrolled by Giannis. Just like you dont want to overanalyze the Detriot game you gotta take this one with a grain of salt also. I see them as the clear NBA favorite if they are healthy. Crazy they have done this without Middleton but that's a sick team. Holiday/Giannis/Middleton are just nuts and surrounded by great role guys
