The game was pretty much a summary of the entire Knicks season:
Randle and Fournier had flashes where they looked great, but made low IQ plays at the biggest moments
RJ put up numbers, but his shooting isn't efficient (he reminds me so much of Jimmy Butler)
The best lineup was McBride-IQ-Sims-Toppin-Barret, yet they got no burn in the 2nd half
Too much of relying on Burks and Gibson
No adjustments by Thibs at the start of the half
It's obvious that the Knicks miss Derrick Rose - Doris Burke even refenced this during the game - who has the bball IQ to calm the team down when things were getting out of hand. And also, Randle really benefited from not having fans in the building. He has great physical gifts and there really isn't anything he can't do on the basketball court. But his bball IQ is very low and he gets distracted very easily, which effects his on court effort.
