Goes on a BS 3 minute bs rant defending. If RJ had 2 points I wonder what he would of said. If this was a loss I really wonder what would be said.

That was probably RJ's best game of his career.

He showed a lot of things tonight - scores and assists off the PNR with Mitch, a fallaway midrange jumper, spot-up 3s, a couple ISO buckets. He's also looking a bit more decisive and less robotic in his movements.

Hopefully he keeps it up.

Randle definitely affects his game. It's obvious these two don't make each other better.

iq with 6 assists. he'll need another summer or 2 to work on some stuff but he might turn into a point guard yet.

it started that way, but then thibs dropped about needing to be mentally tough and ignore the bad praise AND the good praise(randle loves the good attention)

saying to play team ball, leave your feelings at the door and play team basketball.

Thibs = awesome

Did you not perceive RJ's dig at Thibs in his postgame interview? How he just keeps on working on his game come what may.

The mental image of Wally penetrating Rebecca has taken the post game interview luster away, so no longer watch.

Do you have to voice that out loud?

They both want to be miserable.

The perfect marriage.

nah that was Thibs way of saying time stop being mentally weak.

He did his normal spin through the roster and how everyone contributed but when he started talking about we need to not be mentally weak and players need to sacrifice for the team...you know who he was talking too.

Randle has the most talent on the Knicks.
But it's been obvious since game 6 that Randle is mentally off sharing the ball and limelight with additional players.

Yes, the roster isn't that talented. Yes, it's not the best fit, as each of these guys kind of need the ball.
But a lot of the issue is Randle doesn't want to stop dominating the ball and he pouts about it.

Tonight he moved the ball. I'm not going to say "passed too much in fit of pique". He moved it. His energy could still be better but maybe it's a step.

It's why we are all on him, correct? He's been pouting. It's not his ability or his inefficiency, it's his pouting when the FO attempted (not well) to add players to help him/the team out.

#3 pick things

Actually, I'll answer my own question, the game winning 3 may really be his career turning point.

I'm reading this "Winner Effect" book by Ian Robertson. Winners associate their last win (in RJ's case, his game winning 3) to their environments and surroundings (arena, fans, arena announcer, lights), so when they come back to the same environment (same arena, same court, fans, same arena announcer, same lights), the reward and motivation parts of his brain will increase more androgen receptors. Androgen receptors are receiving stations for testosterone.

RJ has been experiencing testosterone surge in these same environments, which made him less anxious, more aggressive, and gave him a higher pain threshold. Testosterone makes one mean and tough.
