There’s definitely truth to that. I think Randle had a gravity that this team just doesn’t have. Randle would face double teams and that created a lot of kick out and swing pass opportunities. I hated Randles game but I can definitely see where this team needs more of that type of gravity from someone other than Brunson. KAT is more talented but just doesn’t draw in the defense the same way Randle did.

This team is definitely mid so I don’t blame you there. There isn’t enough improvement made where you can say they can’t lose to Indiana again.
That's it. The probkem is when people start btinging fandom into basketball discussions. Thry get offended when I say Jalen is selfish. He is. He looks to get his first. He has to concentrate on finding people.

I said Hart had to take on the Randle role and take the ball out of JB's hands more because he is more of a connector. He is.

I said the problem with the Knicks roster is that everybody needs to be passed the ball and teams will put big athletes on JB to stop the Knicjs offence.

I'm saying that if you fire Thibs Knicks cronyism will promote Rick instead of going out to find somebody young and new.

And I'm saying that if Thibs doesn't really coach offence then you have to admit the reason the offence isn't imaginative is because the players aren't imaginative, especially the guy with the ball.

My crime is that I don't assign all blame to one whipping boy anf think one change will fix everything.

You hit the nail on the head. Brunson is selfish and that’s been one of the bigger differences between early season to now. Earlier on the season he wasn’t really in rhythm and what happened was he was finding guys more and collectively we looked better even though Brunson himself wasn’t having big games. Then he found his groove and started to look for his offense more and more to the point where guys were not involved as much offensively. Brunson still has things to learn and become better at especially reading the game and the way he’s defended to find that right balance but I don’t think he’s going to sacrifice his scoring once he’s in his rhythm and playing to the best of his abilities. So its either the player adjusts or the way the team is constructed is adjusted to fit his style


Dumbest conversation in RealGM history.

Not yet, sadly, but Leon announced they're going to offer KAT, OG, Bridges, and unprotected picks to 2043 to get back Randle and Divo.

A PG thread from a feel-good win with an exhilarating Mikal buzzer beater has turned into a "Ran_le eat crow" and trade Brunson thread.

Only on this board. So raggedy. :lol:
