To be truely title contenders, its still believed that inspite of the tremendous improvement of the team as a whole the knicks still lack a true superstar in the roster. Before the start of the season, RJ has been seen as a major piece to make that happen, after his consistent playoff performance i do think he is a keeper and can develop into a number 2or3 option in a contending team.

I think the key to a championship roster is balance, your stars should be spread out, a big, a wing and a pg. if Giannis becomes available will you guys be willing to part with Randle rather than RJ? If a superstar Bigman becomes available, im ok with trading Randle for the sake of roster balance.

Will the knicks have enough to trade for the likes of Giannis and still have enough players to be contenders?

What if Brunson is our superstar in the making, RJ is 2nd in line and Randle owning that 3rd wheel with his passing, rebounds and team play. And when we are dead on offense, he goes into iso Randle mode. But I think if we follow Brunson and let RJ continue to build up his confidence by featuring him more, we win this series. Brunson and RJ are 2 dogs not phased by Miami trickery and they have solid emotional maturity. Add in grimes and that’s a nice solid 4. I wish we could run Randle at center a few times. Bam is guarding him so why not.

Speaking of bam. Enough with this talk about what’s wrong with Randle and just give bam his props on defense. Love his game. I’ve been trying to create him on 2k for years. Guard all 5 positions with handle and a mid range.

That did happen!!!!
Remember when RJ hung 46 on Jimmy and the Heat last season?
My hopes are not high for tonite but Im a gonna sit down, about an hour after tip off, blast thru the opening bullshyt, commercials and most likely half time SAS rants unless we winning. Don't need any fake ass dramma from him. I like SAS clown act. his delivery is priceless.

This does cut down on the aggravation if its not going well.
I suspect JB gonna be a bit tired after his game the other night.
If it all comes to an end, Im good with the season. Im a bit burnt out on hoop. Not used watching so many games. Usually by February we are done and I cut back. Middle of May and as the immortal words of Jules: "We here"! Yes we are!
