Here you go again putting words in my mouth. Of course the regular season matters, and I actually agree with you. Randle has been lights out. But, there is nothing wrong for me (and other fans) to speculate about how his play will be in the playoffs. Why not think about it? it matters bigtime and we're about to find out.
I'm loving this win streak, but it doesn't mean that's the only subject anyone is allowed to talk about.
you literally said “aren’t the playoffs really the only thing that matters in the end.” You’re the only one moving the goal posts here.
My entire point was me stating that Randle is the real deal, and should be part of our future going forward, whether he plays well in the playoffs or not.
Judging what he does with an unfinished product in the playoffs and letting that dictate his future on this team is what’s foolish and shortsighted.
The game slowed down for Randle this year, so he sees the court much better and he makes far better decisions and plays. In the same way, our FO now has much more awareness of the game, far better connections throughout the league, and a good analytical understanding of what it means to sign certain players. Most importantly, they will now always look for fit with this team.
New fans tend to go for the shiny new stuff and learn later why false milestones don't relate to future success. Glad to see you have a balanced long term view - certain we'd have done better with you or several other posters than we did with Pills.
What would you guys do without guys like me and Buzzard keeping things real around here? It would just be a dudes high fiving each other and butt slapping each other saying, Damn the Knicks are the best team ever and the FO is and has always been incredible!!
