Randle with a dislocated shoulder.

Hope it’s nothing serious.

It's amazing what getting rid of RJ Barrett did for the Knicks. Part of the 12-2 success is related to Anunoby and an equally great part related to getting Barrett out of that lineup.

I still can't make sense of NYK's success. Going back to last season, their roster didn't look substantially better than the Raptors or Hawks.

Perfect fit chemistry, plus the subtraction of RJ

Yikes. Do you know if it's the first time? These dislocated shoulders seem to be reoccurring. I've noticed that in my personal interactions and in sports. i knew a guy that would pop his shoulder back in while snowboarding. I remember a hockey player that would at times too.

Athletes with a first-time shoulder dislocation can typically return to the game within six weeks after the injury, but younger athletes may need more time to recover to prevent a recurrence. If your dislocation requires surgery, you may need up to six months to recover.

RJ needs to learn to share the rock. The talent is there.

But I mean last year they made it to the second round even with RJ. They must just have a great roster balance. That and they fully bought into coach Thibodeau's defense.

RJ was their second best player in the playoffs lol.

It was just a bad fit more than anything else. They didn’t need a 3rd volume scorer, they needed high impact low usage type of player beside Brunson and Randle.

Knicks are playing great basketball. Let’s hope it translates to the playoffs and they can build on last years success.

Nets really did it again by giving away all their future picks unprotected. But it was about to pay off if KD's foot size was an inch smaller. Would've won it all in 2021.

Return to Toronto Raptors
