Are you proposing we don't play dilly at all, and send him to the dleague?

I'm saying that most times, he tends to be more negative than positive. Which is understandable, he's a rookie. That's why I think forcing him into the lineup is silly.


Yes, his +- numbers are terrible. But, he needs run to learn from his mistakes. If, over the course of 20 games there is zero improvement, I'd vouch for dleague. But sitting on the bench is not how i would handle him..

Randle, surrounded by 3 guys, Naw wide open in the corner. Randle looks at him, sees him wide open, and decides to just hold the ball until Naw finally gets the ball covered and makes a tough 2 from 6 ft.

**** Randle is just dumb as rocks.

The groan from the crowd while he looked off two wide open guys was sad, yet hilarious.

There must have been a team that would have taken Rudy. This team always rushes their trades.

It's definitely a tricky situation. I just tend to trust veterans more than 19-year old rookies.

Really the guy we probably miss most is Kyle. Provided that safety valve at PG and great defense and length.

I really dislike him on this team. He sucked all the energy out of everyone first quarter. It's not good team play when he scores that much. In return, you get low to no energy defense with Randle leading the team.

I think moments like these are probably good to try new things. See if we can unlock something in Donte.

Thought he was the second best player on this team and Towns was the third.

Where is that top 10 player crowd?

Though Towns was total trash and shouldn't be on this team? He's definitely not a better center than Rudy right?

Who's your new scapegoat?

Knicks won the trade... no question

I really don't like the Randle version of the Wolves - Such a shame after our rise over the past couple of seasons

Only fools thought that. Rudy should have been traded to Detroit for expiring's. My first move would have been getting Rui Hachimura from Washington to play with Towns. But getting what we got for Towns is horrible.

At times like this I think back to comments like Wolves back, and graphics like we are #1 defense in the last 6 games. Anyone still believe the hype?

Thibs has played Towns 34 out of the first 36 minutes in a game the Knicks lead by 30. The man can't help himself.

I’ll be honest, I’m done with Donte and Julius and normally I’m patient. Trying something new for me would be giving TSJ a shot. Although he’s a rookie, he’s aggressive and brings something different. Seems like he’ll apply pressure in transition and the half court by attacking the rim.
