Julius always dominates Sabonis.

Expecting LeVert to get the RJ treatment. Good matchup for RJ to assert himself defensively.

Can't let Brogdon get off if he plays and Mitch has to stay disciplined on Turner.

Knicks will come out coked-up, guns blazing, and will build a double-digit lead at some point.

But have they learned anything? will they ratchet up the intensity to step on their necks?

Or is the quarterly 3-minute mark meltdown still in effect? Will they get sloppy and turn the ball over on consecutive possessions, giving up offensive rebounds, and go into hero mode and stop sharing the ball?

If they learned from their past mistakes, Knicks win tonight. If not, Double-digit L.

anyone listen to bart and hahn yesterday?

bart scott said that what we're seeing with the knicks is randle, who was the guy last year, trying to remain being the #1 guy because the alpha male in rj barrett is here, and that rj barrett is the guy.

you could tell it in the tone with their post game comments, rj barrett spoke on behalf of the team and called everyone out that losing at home is unacceptable.
LOL Y U MAD THO?

So is Randle getting aggravated that RJ is becoming the #1 option, and Randle has to take a backseat?

no, not at all — that’s now what they were saying

they’re saying randle has to adjust and he’s not ready yet. but they can definitely both share the majority of shots, they have to find a balance.

rj is an alpha male, that’s why he’s good

When you look at their roster , they are quite loaded....there's too many solid - good teams in the East.

Well, for Randle to do what you're saying, he has to cut off a majority of his isolation possessions, and make faster decisions on the ball and off the ball, and wake his ass up and defend like he gives a damn.

Normally I would think internal competition is good for a team. But Randle doesn't seem to handle it well, nor does IQ....If Rj continues to improve, do he and Randle really fit together? Does Randle fit better than say (a healthy :D ) Zion?

I’m nervous because Randle don’t like the team scoring a lot, getting high assist, and playing together.

RJ is a team player and figuring things out, and Randle is adjusting after spending all of last season with the ball in his hands. I think teams are also downsizing versus Randle with smaller guys like Ball, and they're doing it successfully. He's gonna have to develop a counter. These guys have also played together for a while now. They'll figure it out.
