PG: Julius "Steph Curry" Randle carries us once again

[RHODEY]

I don't wear Rose colored glasses. So...no. The replay I saw was court level and RJ runs out to defend him as he moves around him and I saw Randle and Mitch in the paint and a couple of Hawks too. No one reacted and Griffin took the the shot. Like I said...it wasn't a great play by RJ.

Clyde often misses the action that actually happens on the court and makes his go to quotes anyway. He was calling Deuce Grimes all night. He's not always right even if he was on that play. He's quite often wrong and he says the same tired cliches every single game. Not trying to hate on the best Knicks ever but, He's not perfect either.

WTH does the other play have to do with anything? We're talking about one play that you quoted Clyde on.

Don't be mad because I'm talking about an ex knick around your age.

Nobody is perfect..but Clyde is Clyde...I ride with Clyde.

Yeah. I love Clyde too. So what? I'm not saying anything's untrue about him at all.

My answer... So what?..he's Clyde

Knicks are just a much more fun team to watch without RJ and Obi

We could’ve had Haliburton

[Reign23]

Randle and Grimes were fantastic.
Brunson stinkbomb
RJ... would be pretty cool to slowly get your **** together. his shooting is really really disappointing to say the least. but not giving up on him. he is going to figure it out. but so far this season is ass for him.

overall good win!

[oldshoolballer]

Grimes is already one of the best defenders in the nba

No question about it.

Last Year: We’re screwed Randles extension hasn’t kicked in yet

This Year: We’re screwed RJs extension hasn’t kicked in yet

Leon Rose is truly an abomination.

Funny though, if Randle plays like this regularly from here on out, his contract will be pretty good

Sure, we hope. But file this under "things we post maybe 20 times a season."

What's different this time is that we have a high-usage PG who, for the most part, keeps Randle in check. Looking at from the other end, think about how crappy this team would be without Brunson. And Randle, to his credit, has bought into it. His two big issues are (still): (1) getting all emotional with the refs; and (2) slacking off on defense occasionally. And sometimes #1 causes #2.

Here the thing, at best, Randle's a capable defense when his head is in the game. I hope he sticks with his meditation. He's going to need it FOR THE PLAYOFFS!

Randle should try this little mental gimmick called "Pins and needles". Here's an example:

Thibs said that people don't realize how good of a playmaker Grimes is and that he'll get more chances with the ball in his hands going forward.

Good. He can take McBride's backup PG minutes too

McBride did have 6 assists.

He can't get into the paint.

Watching the lineup of:

McBride
IQ
RJ
Obi
Shart

made me want to vomit.

Not one guy all that good at breaking down the defense, getting into the paint, no less making a contested layup.

Knicks were fortunate to playing Trae & Capella & The Atlanta G-League Affiliate Experience.

Otherwise, when moron Thibs went with that lineup for like 8 minutes end of 1st/into the 2nd quarter, Knicks would have been 15

[thebuzzardman]

Signing Rose to that contract was a bad idea. He can always score but just trash on defense. Same for Fournier. Too many games we lost just by leaving the 3 open.

With Deuce and Grimes, that void is essentially filled. Now you're starting to see why Grimes was a deal breaker in that Mitchell proposal and RJ wasn't.

I'll give credit to thibs for sitting his boys Rose and Fournier in exchange for deuce and Grimes but I'm pretty sure it's because his job was on the line and someone else got involved. Otherwise why the fck took him so long to see the obvious.

His defense was good enough end of the magical empty covid arena season

That's true. And it's I trait I noticed he's had since he became a Knick. He doesn’t do it when he plays for Westchester though.

Here's his PG interview. Tough questioning from Rebecca.

Lmao yet he was behind a healthy DNPournier to start the season even before he got hurt lol

I think Thibs can be an idiot as much as anyone, but you have to consider:

a) Grimes was getting into shape off a foot injury, so probably couldn't have played starter minutes (and he got re-hurt after coming back too early)
b) For all his gruff old school a-hole coach ways, maybe Thibs wanted to give Fournier some time starting before pulling the plug, gesture to a vet, preserve the locker room kind of thing
c) Thibs probably ordered to showcase Cam as well - again, Grimes was hurt anyway

If he starts making jumpers regularly, he's a more useful player but then his ceiling becomes Charley Ward.

He played and plays really good defense, he's ok right now as a PG setting people up, but he's kind of limited, and dependent on Knicks having other kinds of players on the court.

It's a general Knick issue. Right now the team has two players that create their own shot and set up others:
Brunson
Randle

Don't want to sound like Jimmit or Bear going off on a player. Really it's roster construction and it's ok to keep some guys like this, just Knicks need to reorganize the roster. I bet even the FO realizes it, they just aren't good at doing it.

[thebuzzardman]

Who is playing as poorly as he's ever played. But he'll bounce back...mark my words.

Tell em bro he gona be a future All Star even tho that looks like a far stretch this season... Caught that 2021 Randle cov-mid... Contract really affected him never thought he'd be the type to let it get to him but its undeniable. Plus I think he added too much weight n not good weight? His conditioning not where it needs to be, slow, clunky... This not the upgrade most fans thought we would get

He has way more to give... Where's the moves? Dribble... Not seeing nothing from his summer workouts

This is year 4. How many more years do I have to wait? He actually has regressed this season.

Maybe he's on DSJr time. What year did it take him? Year six?

You'd think Melo would be more understanding of RJ in this context.

[thebuzzardman]

Only 1 i like is trading for turner but the price too high.
Doesnt even make sense high.

Obi, Quickley , Fournier , Mitch, Dallas pick, 2nd rounder

returns:
Turner, expirings

Thats fn insane. More like Turner for Mitch straight up and Dolan cash.
Its not about saving the season, now the team has to see how Grimes , mitch and Tom Auerbachadeau hold up.

I +1'd for this

I’ll take Charlie Ward as a backup PG. both QBs. Hella yeah!

It's fine as along as there is a bench player who can create.

I liked Ward but lets not pretend he wasn't one of the limiting factors (among several) that kept Ewing from a ring

Well. RJ scorer more points than shots. At this point that's a win for RJ. Not to mention he defended Dejaunte pretty well. I've said recently that for RJ to salvage his career he has to operate as if he were Ron Artest seeing as he's never gonna be a pretty scorer and this looks like a solid demonstration.

[duetta]

John Starks going 2-18 in Game 7 was the limiting factor that kept Ewing from getting a ring, not to mention Scotty Sterling's idiot trades that sent the eventual rights to Scotty Pippin to Chicago (via Seattle) for Gerald Henderson and Juwann Oldham.

[Richard4444]

McBride saved thibs from hot seat this kid is all heart and hustle he's true nyker.

You are right. He is a True Knick. He can not shoot. His stats are 31/12/33 for the season.

Knicks podcasters before game oh Knicks are pathetic for not giving cam mins and after blowout win oh there must be more to this cam situation lol.

He appears to be on the trade block

Who is in the trade block? Cam, The Podcasters, or Jimmit?
