This board hated him. Said he couldn’t shoot, had high hips or stiff hips whatever the narrative was, couldn’t defend, etc. and pretty much called him a scrub. Nobody at the time of the trade felt bad that he was traded. Now it’s why did we trade Obi :lol:


Unequivocally false.

But what I’m more pissed about is the lack of recognition of how crucial our bench strength was particularly at the 4.

To start the game 5 2nd half vs CLE, Randle went out and Obi had 12 points in that 3rd quarter to help cement the series W.

In game 5 vs MIA, Knicks were down 24-14 entering the 2nd. Randle was awful in the first and we looked like we were going to get blown out on our home floor. Obi comes in to start the 2nd while the other 4 who closed out the first stayed in. We went on a 18-2 run to start the 2nd.

Spoelstra pointed to that second-quarter start as the breaking point. The Knicks started the second quarter with an 18-2 run in the first three minutes after scoring just 14 first-quarter points.


Then Randle got out of his own head and had a really solid 2nd half to help us win it.

it was a strength that we had a guy this potent if called upon. This isn’t conjecture. I just gave you real life examples in the playoffs.

I just don’t get it.

Anyway, my assumption is

IQ Donte Hart RJ Hartenstein will be the 2nd unit to start the 2nd and 4th now

What an embarrassing thread.

The offense goes through Nemhard in the 4th quarter, then Haliburton pads his stats when they get a lead. :lol:

This game is excellent film study for the next Knicks coach

How can you beat these teams with what we have?
