Who's that guy?

Some guy the Knicks drafted from Isengard Polytechnic Institute

Then we ultimately put the ball in Kemba, Rose, or RJs hands more down the stretch.

The concerning thing for me is that we can't get him cooking when teams play to his weaknesses. We have more options around him this year but ultimately we need to figure that out. Smaller, long defenders and, of course, doubles really flummox him on the perimeter. Can we get him in the post, where his vision is a little better or figure out some off ball screen action to get him space before he starts his move?

I mean, sham's right about the end game but until the right move presents itself we need to work with what we have better.

I've had a sneaking feeling that at times Randle is stat padding and if I'm right that bothers me because he doesn't need to having just gotten paid.

I'd add Fournier to your list of possible closers. You draw up a play for one of them, but with the option to pass since all of them can shoot. Thibs really has to move away from treating Randle like he's King Julius and make him one of the cogs again. Because that's how we will contend this season. If we become the most selfless team in the NBA this year we'll beat everyone. If not, we'll stumble and play much worse. And how Randle responds to pressure is key to unlocking that.

Other thing I'm feeling is RJ is going to be a much bigger deal this season which is good for everyone. Again, I hope Randle understands he's one of the guys now, not THE guy. I know RJ gets that. Kemba gets it. Rose gets it. Taj gets it. Evan does too. So Randle needs to adjust now.

Randle’s still the guy. And the winning record doesn’t demonstrate any need to adjust that. If they start losing they can talk about it. But he’s still the guy. He also had 9 assists, nobody else had more than 1 besides Kemba who had 2. I think he knows how to pass the ball

Good point. The issue is the pattern.

What’s funny is how in the game thread everyone was mad it was a flagrant and talking about the league and the world had gone soft. Dude just ended his season

I just watched the replay and my thought is that he injured it with the impact from the floor trying to brace himself from the fall

Frank Isola is such a dummy. His lame little snark. He's not that clever. And he knows little about the game. In the end all that's left is an insecure ass.

Oh the Last Supper ... that's so witty and funny. No it isn't.

Yup. Bad foul, worse landing

I know a lot of us have been comparing RJ to Jimmy Butler and Kris Middleton but maybe Andre Iguodala is a better one? Elite defender that thrives in transition. A slasher and a catch & shoot player in the half court. Maybe my memory is failing but I don't really remember Iguodala having much of a pull up game either.

Thibs hanging out with his inner circle. Notably RJ and Mitch were not invited. Curious! Something to keep an eye out for at the trade deadline. Thanks Asshola.

Randle looked absolutely cooked in the final minutes. Meanwhile, Obi looked bouncy and the second unit was TCB all night.

I mean call me crazy, but isn’t a win-win to sit Randle an extra 5-8 minutes mid-game so that he has gas in the tank come closing time and playoffs?

Only 13 for Obi! That could be matchups but can't be the norm.
