PG: Team win - Frenchie w/ 41 - RJ first career game winner - Randle vs Fans

[knicksNOTslick]

Let's keep it real - outside of that "lucky" shot rj had a horrendous game. At one point near the end of the game they switched Fournier on to Tatum cause rj was getting cooked. And he had missed one of his ft towards the end of the game, too.

The 2 assists in the final minute to Mitch on the alley and IQ for the floater wasn’t luck. Nor was getting fouled after driving (where he failed at most of the night).

I mean unless RJ knew that IQ would have a driving lane all the way from the 3 point line I don’t think that play was heads up RJ and more like a smart play by IQ. The Mitch alley looked like a designed routine play and still for 42+ minutes of the game he was terrible. 13 points missed 11 shots shot 26% from the field.

It doesn't matter if he knew IQ had a driving lane or not. He created the opportunity by breaking the defense down then passing out to the open man who's a known threat at the 3pt line. That's a smart decision. Once IQ got the ball, the defender was already in a bad situation to run catch up and defend the 3 point shot. Now all IQ had to do was either chuck up a shot or easily drive by the defender whose momentum was already heading towards him.

RJ gets credit cuz he didn't force up a shot and moved the ball to make something happen.

It's crazy posters can't even give credit where it's due cuz of biases, calling things luck. That's too funny.

I'd expect to the Knicks to get boo'd more on the road now that it's been made public that Randle can't handle the heat

The team plays better on the road. We have a worse record at home. They can handle getting boo’d on the road because that’s a normal thing that happens.

idk I watch every game and I really haven't heard us getting boo'd on the road. most other fanbases are kinda indifferent in regular season games

Julius has now shown that fans get under his skin, so I'd expect more fans to try

[Sark]

Trade Randle now, while he still has value. He's not built for New York, and this is just going to blow up more to the point that we will have to trade him out of here. The longer it goes, the worse it gets.

[nedleeds]

I hate the Knicks rn....we're the definition of a treadmill team and our best player can't handle NY

this team is going nowhere....sad

but it's not a big deal right?

This is bad, this man got crucified. Shocked he can still run routes.

[GettinitDone]

Man I missed one of best games because of work... Fournier was damn unconscious from 3 pt lands, from the highlights. And I hope this game winner serves as RJ's CAREER turning point.

I know how passionate Randle is about winning that's why I cant really fault him for being emotional he just has to be better in tough moments and also play better the rest of the season. NY fans are the most passionate fans in any sport, you give all out effort every night and most fans will respect that and stand by you.

Regardless if his agent or WWW or whoever wrote hia apology I know how Randle feels about this team and fans and how badly he wants to win. I can't fault this man for being emotional. just start playing better, stop playing so tense. Just have fun. Put in the work and be great.

[blueNorange]

All knew the apology or explanation was coming. Hopefully this makes him play better .

he's not out of the woods yet, he has to confront the media now and answer why he changed his opinion all of a sudden.

[HEZI]

Over the last 5 games RJ is averaging

21 PPG
6 RPG
3 APG
44% FG
33% 3P
75% FT

Including 1 game winner. The haters will make it seem like he's played worse than he actually has

Thumbs down

Pistons Practice Squad, OKC G-League, Pacers G-League, Raptors Real Team and -18 in a blow out where he didn't even shoot 50% then Celtic Real Team and shot like boiled anus take away his joke fluke bank shot and it's a complete laugher. Fake stats, against fake opponents who have no players, same as last year. He's bad right now. He's played more minutes than anybody in his draft class except Ja Morant and his shooting numbers are basically the worst.

Yes because nobody else is playing those very same teams

That's not even his best stretch of the season, he was better earlier in the year

[nedleeds]

Randle needs to have a sit down with Eli Manning and learn how to be a professional and really handle New York. I'm sure Ingram learned early on like he said how to handle adversity from Eli.

OK, well then compare RJ against the overall league average for shooting since it reflects all the attrition.



Oops ... he's still an utter and complete dumpster fire level trash shooter. Playing against Puerto Rican league level talent helps him seem more athletic for sure then you see him matched against the Raptors or Celtics real players and he looks like he's wearing cinder blocks on his feet.

[Capn'O]

this is some story. randle been trending all day.

This tweet is exactly how I feel about this. He told us to f*ck off? Who cares? Do you really live in NYC if that doesn't happen to you at least once a week? He's not a jedi, so just channel that angry into something good like he did last night.

Exactly lmao

Yup. Love that. If Randle shows out... all in the past.

Highlights from RJs 5 game stretch earlier in the year. The comp wasn't GLeague talent but I'm sure there's going to be some excuses

he's immature and you can definitely make the argument he's not built for a big stage. he was at his best when playing in empty gyms

Melo handled everything w/ class through all the tough times, Randle hasn't even seen a fraction of the sh*t Melo went thru and he's already told the fans to f*ck off

He didn’t break the defense down lol. Fournier almost got stripped which is what created the open baseline drive by Barrett. The defense overplayed and they paid for it. And honestly like I said he made a jump pass I believe and found IQ who actually made the right read and didn’t shoot the three. And it’s not funny how some of you will cape for certain players just bc we drafted them.

I love narrative bending.
Dude continuously cooked Myles Turner and Sabonis in the post and people will simply say “they’re G league team” because they didn’t have their full team.
