The fact that he started a rookie in Grimes gives me some faith that he will start Obi.

Tbh, I don’t even care much if he doesn’t get the start. I just hope he gets 30+ mins, even if it has to come from being off the bench. Might be better to keep that young unit together anyway.

I hear u but its way easier to play more minutes when a guy starts. Unless Obi comes in real early and plays most of the half then he should just be starting. The boy has earned his chance.

Nah, I feel u!

Knicks about to become unwatchable, tuning out until Randle comes back. Sucks to happen just as we were on a streak.

Noel being rushed back from protocols so we can start Taj and have Noel as back up.

Randle the first game game without going through practice being cleared at 4pm game day with no conditioning.

Josh Richardson went into health and safety protocols twice this season.

I've been here for so long that I've probably had the most heated confrontations with 2010 over the years. And here we are coming together in our hatred of Randle. Bless Julius for bringing us together. He really is making this forum a better place.

Really? That's why mask-wearing is important - because even if a person carries a degree of immunity from a previous infection, they can still get it again and spread it.

His second time going into health and safety protocols was the day after he went off against the Knicks.

Julius missed 1 game last year. Thibs started Taj and Obi played less than usual even tho he was playing fine from what I remember.

That was last year tho. Obi’s defense has improved and Id say hes at least average there now. And we’ll be playing weaker teams. No excuse not to give him his shot.

Just sayin tho, dont get ur hopes up lol. Obi has never played over 30 mins which is kray.

I am hoping Randle is 100% asymptomatic and healthy, while also celebrating getting to see this team without him on the court for a few games. This team is gonna go on a win streak like the Grizzlies when Ja was out.

In 455 minutes without Randle on the court this year, the Knicks are outscoring teams by 15.9 points per 100 possessions, which of course would be an all time record.

And that 1 game he missed was because Elfrid Payton kneed him in the thigh on a loose ball. :lol:

I want Obi to start, but we need to understand there could be a valid reaon to keep Obi with the 2nd unit - to keep them playing together and maximize their ability to know each other well. So I think the best thing for Obi would be 20 minutes with the secon unit and 10-15 with the first unit. Problem solved?

The Bucks game Julius missed was also the game Meech went out for the season with his foot, and Obi still didn’t play more lol. He was 3-4 and scored 6 points in 7 min, but we won because Giannis, Middleton, and Jrue were out. Thibs just weird idk.
