His jump shot isn't falling for him. He needs to attack more.

What has people really angry with him is when he looks disinterested in competing. I don't know if his confidence is that shook or his feelings hurt but we've all seen it on occasion lately.

I just got back from the theater

It's really good

I'd say it can hold its own with Spider-Man 2 and Spiderverse (though Spiderverse is still clearly the best one).
BaF Lakers:

Nikola Topic/Kasparas Jakucionis
VJ Edgecombe/Jrue Holiday
Shaedon Sharpe/Cedric Coward
Kyle Filipowski/Collin Murray-Boyles
Alex Sarr/Clint Capela

Bench: Malcolm Brogdon/Hansen Yang/Rocco Zikarsky/RJ Luis Jr.

randle thinks passing is bad for him :lol:

Randle literally saying that playing the right way takes him out of rhythm is wild.

He's saying what should be patently obvious to everyone by now: Thibs had him playing out of his gotdamn mind last season by limiting his choices, playing him nonstop, and making him the undisputed A-1 alpha with a permanent green-light (despite the upside potential of only taking us as far as 1 win in the first round).

As an ordinary human, I have no right to be critical of Julius failing to achieve basketball superstardom because what he's accomplished thus far is incredible; but it really doesn't bode well that his mental game keeps limiting his physical game. He was great when his options were limited to: A) Never pass to Elf; B) Never pass to Nerlens; C) pass to RJ every third possession or on corner threes; and D) hit Reggie on the arc when the double comes.

Give him too many options and it sure looks like his brain explodes and takes a fragile adolescent ego with it.


Well put

He doesn’t have the mental game to improvise. Randle must play within constraints

You make a lot of good points and it's funny how our last 3 "cornerstones" have all been pretty robotic players.

KP, RJ and Randle are jazz players who cannot improvize.

Randle can do a 10 second solo at your empty local jazz club but he doesn't really have soul.

Knicks lose this and it feels like the 'rock bottom' that inspires some movement from the FO but I am not confident in the moves they will pull off to help anything as far as playoff positioning and only ruin draft positioning.


Would Dolan ever order the FO to rebuild around the young players?

I have zero expectations any more and Thibs is an absolute fsckwit so there's that.
