Hopefully Thibs isn't too hard headed to make adjustments to the rotation. I also noticed that most plays towards the end of the 4th were Randle iso plays. Teams will live with Randle taking tough shots all day. Randle has proved throughout the year he can make good passes out of doubles so I'm not too worried about this.

As for RJ and Bullock, they have had stretches all year where they disappeared then popped out of the slump doing work. Hopefully this is that type of situation. If not, then we have real problems on our hands.

The bad part we can't fix is that we continue to struggle against stronger big men. We don't have an answer for that at all. Not that Drummond singlehandedly killed us, but he hurt us a few times when it mattered most.

Also, no more playing Elf please! He's like the Herb Williams of the players. Just can't get rid of him.

What a sound and reasonable post

we all talk about Randle’s improvements on offense but his defense should not go un noticed. he held AD to 7-18 shooting. Randle is really on the cusp of superstardom at this point

Because he was stuck with it. The Lakers are very big and long. They aren't nimble defenders of the dribble, but RJ is also not a nimble ball handler so he could be neutralized by what they had on the floor.

I don't understand how we keep ignoring this. Big strong centre's have been murdering us this season.

ONE REBOUND. THAT WAS ALL.

I was pissed off at that one sequence.

And that bull corner 3 to cut it to 2, **** that guy.

I want Thibs to do his thing, he's done an awesome job. But he needs to figure out this Elfrid Payton ****. Derrick Rose is out there busting his ass and wearing down, we need to give him breathers.

Bro!! I made a comment earlier in the season... "Has Randle became our best defensive player"... I've watched him school Mitch to not go for fakes. Watched him tutor Obi. Tell RJ where to cut the offensive player off. That! His 1 on 1, his help AND he can guard wings. His defense should not go unnoticed

RJ had a bad game but it happens.

He has still been putting up close to 19/6/3 on 44/42/76 shooting with 55% TS post allstar break. I will take that kind of progress.

Is he a #1, #2, #3, #4? Who even cares right now? Plenty of time to figure that out and no need to rush to judgment after every game. Of course he has flaws but he will keep getting better.

yeah if he’s not our best defensive player he’s at least our second best. he can really guard 1-5 which is insane for a big man. i remember in his last season on the Lakers he was a defensive stopper and now he’s tapped in to that upside to become one of the best big men defenders. locking up AD is nuts.

Fake covid season reality show continues. Payton with the -8 in 13 minutes, clutching the pics of Leon Rose in a Thai brothel. We're a Trae sprained ankle, Giannis day off and 3 protocol violations from the 10th seed.

Great point but it's time we stop saying things like on the cusp and on the verge. Randle is an MVP, he's getting recognition from everyone, all the greats, knicks biggest/longest critics. Wasn't long ago that he was being debated as an all star. That's ridiculous to think how great he's been.

What a **** year for us die hards. This has been a long time coming and we're not done.

Our future is looking bright af

Rj had taj for the lob.....

What ?? That’s a turnover if he throws a lob, especially to get that pass off he would likely be jumping of his back foot to see over the defense. Rose and Randle are not wide enough on the wing . The spacing was **** after the play broke down. It is what is , we didn’t execute on the play, move on to the next .

Word great post.

To even have a player 20 years old with his kind of potential (regardless if he was a top 3 pick) is so **** special for this franchise. We've missed or had bad luck with so many picks. .... We are finally being rewarded for all our miserable suffering

Some Knick fans can't handle a little success. They get 6 games over ,500 with a so so roster and suddenly they should be peak Warriors or Bulls from then on out. It's hilarious

You misspelled sad.
