I am a lawyer. The Miami players almost murdered Randle in that play. Let's sue Miami and throw all their players in jail until the end of the playoffs.

BKlutch wrote:Knicks’ latest success stories don’t happen without Tom ThibodeauStefan Bondy
You listen to Tom Thibodeau long enough, as I have, and you wonder if there’s ever a moment he sits down to enjoy an accomplishment. Heck, even God rested on the seventh day.
But relaxation is difficult when, as the coach often repeats from his Book of Thibs-isms, “Everything is a concern.”
So right after the Knicks blew out the defending champions Thursday night for their fifth straight win — really annihilated the Nuggets, by the way — Thibodeau was already worried about overlooking some underdog opponent down the road.
“I know for you guys, that’s something [that we beat the defending champs],” he said in his postgame presser, adding later, “You let up just a little bit, everyone tends to look at a schedule like, ‘You should win this game.’ No, there’s no, ‘You should win.’ You have to earn your wins. You can’t overlook anybody. The challenge is to continue to build and not feel good about yourself.”
Therapists might disagree and that sounds like a miserable existence. But it works in the NBA as long as the players are buying in. And for 3 ½ seasons — the longest-tenured head coach on a Knicks sideline since Mike D’Antoni — Thibodeau has pushed enough of the right buttons to maintain the roster’s attention and his employment in the most volatile of job positions...
Thibodeau finished fourth in the East three years ago with a rotation that included Elfrid Payton, Nerlens Noel, Gibson, Derrick Rose, RJ Barrett, Immanuel Quickley, Alec Burks and Reggie Bullock.
All of them are gone. Three of them are out of the league. In fact, only one of the 12 players who appeared in the 2021 playoffs for the Knicks is still on the roster.
Julius Randle.
That’s it.
Now Thibodeau’s team is back in the fourth spot of the Eastern Conference, surging with a group with reimagined ceilings, both collectively and individually.
Up and down the roster, players are enjoying elevated seasons.
Brunson? Best of his career.
Randle? Evolved into greater efficiency.
OG Anunoby? Small sample size, but best of his career.
Hartenstein? Best of his career.
Robinson? Best of his career until the injury.
Donte DiVincenzo? Best of his career.
This stuff doesn’t happen without the touch of a great — and tirelessly focused — coach.
