PG: KNICKS cool the Heat

[Clyde Frazier]

I still can't get over this picture. It's too good!

[K_ick_God]

In hindsight it's a good game but an aberration. Heat outplayed us second half. Randle made many crazy shots. The refs did their usual screw the Knicks job. Standard by now.

The most impressive thing was the run and our D at the end of the first half.

We can't rely on Randle saving us with such tough shots.

[bearadonisdna]

Can you translate that thought into coherent sentences please?

Dur dur dur.

I just have no idea who he was trying to critique.
Mitch? Not his best outing, but effective enough.
Grimes? When his offense isn't going he still plays on defense.
Crowd? We had 1/2 the fans there.

Nice try at revisionist history like the usuals.
Who even are you dude seem extremely random to me.
Anyways it feels like amateur hour man you trying to say I’m critique when the point of the post is saying I’m NOT or WONT.

Trae Young sucking tonight. Spotty. You'd be crazy right now to even consider trading Jalen for him or Ja Morant.

People have to stop with this Knicks traded a 1st for Cam nonsense. The pick was never going to convey. It was not a real 1st. It was 2 2nds and they got Brooklyn's 25 second round pick back in that deal so really 1 2nd. They then traded Cam with a 21-24 overall pick for a rotational upgrade. It was never 2 1sts and Cam for Hart!!!!!

As far as Mitchell goes, we don't know what the exact package was and we have no way of knowing if the trade would have worked out for us. Sometimes the trades you don't make end up benefitting the team more. Brunson and Mitchell could have ended up being a disaster of a backcourt and who knows if Brunson would have been able to step into the same leadership role if Mitchell was here.

Leon and Co just have to stay patient and find a creative way to use Fournier and Rose's contracts to net something positive while also locking up IQ for the future. The team is no longer a HR away. Get us 2 doubles and we are good.

It was a first that went out and it still may be one or not once it finally conveys but we'll see how it shakes out, thems the facts. I know some people prefer alternative facts over real ones but this is the way it is.

We don't know how Brunson and Mitchell would have been as a back court, offensively or defensively, we may never know. We also don't know the full details of the offers and time table of the trade scenario and may never know it.

The things we do know about Rose's dealings is a mixed bag and we do know Brunson has covered up most of their mistakes. Do you deny that?

I know I will not lose sleep if it conveys and it's a '25 #15+ pick.

So you are not going to give credit for Leon moving heaven and earth to get Brunson here in the 1st place go cover up their problems?

By moving heaven and earth you mean mismanaging more assets including a lottery pick this year to dump the terrible contracts he handed out. Yes, I gave him credit for making a mess and I give credit for Brunson bailing him out.

Yeah, how about that? Crazy how things can turn out.

Also, I'm really proud of Randle for getting his act together after last season. It just goes to show how important the mental side of sports - and life - really is.

It might be hard for you to think of it as an eat crow situation but I’m here to tell you from out outside observer’s perspective who knows everything that you’ve written that it is indeed definitely an eat crow situation

but if he's playing how I wanted him to play then how is it eating crow. He's literally doing what I asked of him to do when I was complaining about his play

ahem

Spoiler:

"GO GET SOMETHING FOR JULIUS AND MOVE ON! OBI DESERVES TO START!"

"its all the Randle stans that are bad that he looks like absolute crap again so far, and looks like it'll be a repeat of last season where we got to clown on them all year with them saying 'oh just you wait, Randle will get it together..' the whole season. "

"Imagine we traded Randle, this is what the team could be, so fun, no egos, ball moving all over."

"trade this scrub before the season starts Rose!!!!"

"lmao Randle same old scrub. Trade his ass, Obi the future"

"Lets goooo Randle to MIA is gonna happen!!!"

"should've traded Randle for scraps like a lot of us wanted, this team would be so much more fun to watch rn."

"trade Randle's scrub ass, and lets go with the youth movement!"

"Re: Can we please trade Randle now? Yes, get rid of this bum."

"Trade IQ over Obi for sure. IQ type players are easy to find. Obi could be something special if the team ever trades Randle and we really start to run."

this is you to me "Not to beat a dead horse but it seemed more so Randle had a problem with Kemba, and a lot of guys actually backed Kemba up in interviews after games, etc including RJ at one point I believe. So it seemed like everyone else liked Kemba but Randle. So Randle was the issue."

"Randle needs to go, Obi is the truth, we saw it at the end of last season"

"Trade Randle and I will forgive you Leon. I literally can't watch another full season of basketball centered around that bum being the focal point of our offense, please."

"Brunson will not work with Randle because Randle is a selfish ballhog PF who thinks he's a PG. It didn't work with Kemba who is a better shooter than Brunson and had more respect around the league, Randle still iced Kemba out and didn't know how to mesh with him so how the f*ck is he gonna work with Brunson? He won't, gotta trade Randle asap."

"Now trade Randle for peanuts and we're good"

"trade Randle rn."

"trade Randle for Wall or Westbrick, idc. Just get him and his contract off this team."

"Its time for the Knicks to make a move on Randle before its too late....andddd its too late... now we're gonna have to give picks up to get rid of this bum."

"ONLY 6 MORE GAMES OF JULIUS RANDLE BEFORE HE GETS TRADED THIS SUMMER LETS GO!!!!"

"trade Randle for Westbrook asap. Obi is showing he's a better player than Randle night in night out."

"I'd trade him(randle) for KP off the fact that KP doesn't try to be a poor mans Lebron and play PG at the PF spot. KP would run the PnR with RJ no problem too.

"Randle is ASS"

"Yeah despite this good week, extending Randle was a mistake. Randle should not have been extended, imagine a world where Randle is about to expire this summer, and we'd see how he was playing this seasonn? He'd likely either get a shorter contract from us, or not get re-signed by us at all."

"We're not, we're trading Randle, Obi the 4. / Nah this summer he outta here, we both know it."

"RJ/Cam/Obi 2/3/4 combo gonna look so good next year once Randle outta here."

"I wanted them to trade fournier, burks, Randle, noel for Westbrick to open up minutes for Cam.."

"come on man, Randle Woj bomb I've been waiting patiently. / So uhhhh Randle trade is coming now right cause that big trade went through.. right? COME ON LEON ONLY 1 hour and 30 mins left, WAKE UP ROSIE / OMG do it, the Lakers can help us fix OUR offseason mistakes of Randle, Fournier, Burks, Noel..Come onnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn / 2 hours and 30 mins away. Trade Randle already!!! Shams or Woj bomb hurry up! / Less than 24 hours til Randle is off the team!! Lets go!!! / come on, i keep refreshing, let me see the Woj bomb 'Knicks are sending Julius Randle, Kemba Walker and Evan Fournier to LA Lakers for Russel Westbrook

"yeah yeah look other teams look, Randle is really good we swear! Just give us a 1RP for him and he's all yours!"

"Burks, Fournier, Kemba being traded is all well and good, but unless the nucleus of the problem is gone (Randle) we're gonna still look and play the same god damn way."

"i root for the Knicks to be a good team, and with Randle being the main #1 option that ain't happening, so therefore rooting for him, is rooting against the Knicks"

"Some of us tried to tell ya'll we should sell high on Randle last summer.. ya'll didn't listen.. now look what we're stuck watching for 4+ years........ Stupid Randle Stans man... ruined us. "

" Randle's got negative value with that 4 year extension now. At best we'll get rid of him in a salary dump for some trash like Westbrick"

"**** we are stuck with Randle noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo 4 more years of this trashhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"

"Randle for Hield, make it happen Rose!!!!"

"Trade Randle already hurry the **** upppppppppppppppppppppp"

"trade Randle asap, this game could really trick another team, maybe we can get a FRP"

"Omg come on just give us the Woj bomb that he's out of here already please man"

"Just trade Randle for anything and anyone with a shorter contract at this point. I literally don't care what we get for him. Having him off the team and the other vets off the team will force Thibs to play the young guys."

"if Randle took that shot and obviously would have missed cause he's so anti-clutch."

"Randle back. Fun time watching the young kids is over... was good while it lasted. Instead of watchable fun losses, we back to frustrating unwatchable losses lets gooooooooooooooo."

"Re:Randle lovers disappear when he plays garbage which is 80% of the time. "80? That's a bit low. Try 99%"

"Obi looking great. Should just let Randle go, Obi is ready"

Re: Siakam straight up for Randle. What do you say Knicks fans? "yes please, anything to get that black hole off my team"

"Game 2 with no Randle, LFG! Lets enjoy this while it lasts." (while out with covid)

"you can save like 3 hours if you just stop watching this **** all together until Randle's gone. "

"the one constant.. Randle trade his bum bass."

"Re: Its time for the Knicks to make a move on Randle before its too late.
Yeah.. Get him the f*ck out of here."

there are 43 pages of randle posts this is maybe 5 of them over the past year my hand got tired

Cot damn, I’m Coming Home - ain’t no coming back from that.

Don’t be that guy bro. Everyone that hated on Randle has said they’re eating crow. Just take the crow like a man

I'm not trying to be like anything. I guess I don't know what 'eating crow' means, usually it means you're wrong on something, but I don't think I was wrong in this case, he just started fixing the way he played. I tend not to make finite statements on a player because I know they can improve, its why I get annoyed when others do it about RJ, despite RJ being absolutely terrible lately, but people saying 'yeah he's trash he'll never be good' is the ones who would be eating crow if RJ turned it around because they made a finite statement that cannot be changed.

I'm fine with eating crow on something I'm wrong on, maybe I just don't know exactly when/how the phrase is supposed to be used.

You were trying to trade him for Westbrook because you thought Randle would never return to his all star form and you swore Obi was the better player. We have plenty receipts fam

trade Randle for Westbrook asap.

Obi is showing he's a better player than Randle night in night out.

Perfect time to trade Randle, dupe some team into thinking they can fix his dumbass.

lmao Randle same old scrub. Trade his ass, Obi the future.

You even tried to tell me he was getting traded in the summer!

This is Melo when he reads theres a 40% chance Randle is gone before the season even starts, trying to act calm.

You deserve the most crow out of everyone tbh

And there’s more, good morning reading here. I love the “I was wrong but really I’m right and wanted this” play, not happening though

Sorry ICH

trae and dejonte dont seem to be jelling well on the court

Yep. It appears that Popovich knows more about ball than Dejounte.

Its all good, it is still the truth. They left some quotes out on purpose. Also I was never claiming I wasn't frustrated by his play at times, I just said that this is the way I wanted him to play, move the ball, don't iso and ballhog, etc and make quick moves and thats what he's been doing as of late.

but I will eat crow as well.

Props to Randle for changing the way he plays which is the only reason I was a Randle hater in the first place. Hope he can keep up this unselfish play.

Props to Randle, hope he can keep this going and not regress.

Randle is playing **** amazing today. Quick decisions, no iso bull for 15 seconds, great moves, etc.

Randle clutch as hell!

Hope this is the turning point in him having confidence at the end of games not to come up short.

RJ and Brunson great games as well.

The trio is finally clicking together, even more than I thought they would!

[Guano]

but if he's playing how I wanted him to play then how is it eating crow. He's literally doing what I asked of him to do when I was complaining about his play
