Keen observations as usual. Those guys made big plays to help.

Does anyone have any idea why Thibs decided to break the bench offense? Quick and Burks are now the defacto ball handlers for some reason, turning Ros, Obi, and Taj into glorified stand still jump shooters. Burks and Obi don't look for teammates either so our bench offense is in a huge slump since they are all low percentage shots.

Didn't realize Pelicans had nuts large enough for a few Knick fans to ride on, but apparently they do!

I want to see RJ and Obi develop together.

One person did it on 27 shots the other did it on 18. One did it in 46 mins the other did it in 36. Just stirring the pot. W’s is all that matter.

Even tho you’re joking you’re still giving off unnecessary passive aggressive vibes for no reason lol. They play on the same team let’s root for them both.

Glad to see Dolan invested in that firmware update for RJ!

Thibs don’t believe in small ball or cutting Randle’s minutes by 5. He’s defense first at heart. He saw we got better on O but wasn’t feeling the lack of rim protection. Unfortunate bc Randle got blocks and so did Obi. Oh well.. it’s Thibs

I love his demeanor and seriousness approach to the game, I'd love to keep him but if he'd get us a Dame to pair with Julius, I'd do it.

I still see him struggling finishing those layups in traffic against better NBA teams.

I hope I'm wrong and RJ really turned the corner, but it's my take.

Watch on YouTube

Cmon dude, if anyone knows me they'd know I love RJ not because of his numbers but because kid has the right approach to the game, he doesn't take games off, he really seems to want to be a great player, and he has that lion in him. Most talented players don't have his ingredients. But you gotta see things from multiple point of views, on other hand, he doesn't possess the explosiveness to be a true franchise player. If some teams are intrigued enough to trade us a franchise player, you gotta at least take a look at that...

I wanna fight ya!

You said to trade RJ when he's at an ATH, he's only 21 and nowhere near his high point. He's just scratching the surface of what he can become, you do not trade him before finding out what he is. What we saw tonight is him being on the ball more in 1 game than we saw all last year, we saw shot creation for himself and others, the offense simply ran better when he was setting people up. He's profiling as a two way wing that can create offense, that is essentially the most valuable player type there is in the NBA. Enough trying to move him in hypothetical deals, lets see what he can turn into if we focus on getting him the ball more to create.

Well, at lot of posters are on the "Randle sucks" train the last two games, so he's about to reassert himself.

Burks might go for 40

Thing is obi is playing really good d. Thibs needs to give obi some of randles mins. It will help everyone. Including Randle.

I got love for Julius. He did almost everything I asked him to. Played defense, check. Shoot the ball, check. Even sign a cheaper paycheck, which was one reason I used to get annoyed at him for. He's grown a lot, too. He definitely wouldn't be content to sit back and let others take the ball a few years ago...he's grown a lot as a winner.

I feel like he's going to have to figure out how to beat these Lonzo Ball, Hunter types teams are starting to throw at him, though.
