My single concern this year has been Randle. And you see it in the Indiana game. If he's not a strong, consistent force on both ends.....the Knicks are in trouble.


Then we are not a good team.

Good teams can win when their top players are subpar.

But the numbers say NO

Knicks won 3 straight when Julius was

7-18
3-11
4-9

We have lost a game when he was 7-14, 4-7 from deep, 4-4 from the line.

TEAM PLAY, not hero ball.

Well, yeah. But no. Not a question of hero ball.

Julius is no superstar. The Knicks are a balanced team. They are deep.

But at least right now, he's the center of it all.

And it's not about him having a subpar game. More about him consistently being a strong force on both ends. Too early for stats to make any argument. But there's the eye test. We know Randle's weaknesses and you can definitely see them on display lately. I suspect he just needs more time to gel with that starting unit and find his game.

I have no idea what you are atlking about

Knicks are 5-3

Randle is 21-11-6 (off 24-10-6 a year ago)

Percentages could be better?

That's a GOOD thing.

But don't expect the .411 from 3 to reappear.

Wow!!!
This game even better than old pics of Sophia.
Had it all, and best of all an incredible comeback against the defending champs, at their home, no less.

That was a nice bounce back game to keep us locked up 4 to 7.

Rose, Randle, Barrett, and Noel all with game balls. Let us hope we can hold on to and expand on our second half play.

It was nice to get a little glimpse of the kids at the end.

Noel Was HUGE.



Galvanized our defensive presence.   

Walker-Rose
Robinson-Noels

Thibs going with the hot hand.

Giannis & 4 backups starting for MIL.  One his brother.
Knix slowly realizing that lobs to Mitch aren't there if Giannis is.
Knix relying on the 3 and missing.
30-13 and Randle shoots an airball 3 ...
38-19 after 1Q.

2Q:
Let Giannis front rim 3's.
Rose getting Knix back into it.
NYK dialed back the 3's.

2nd half:
Knix!
Didn't have a chance to more than glance at the action.
Nawlins was nicely active. Quix hit a big shot or two.
Rose a big catalyst.
Things obviously went well.  Presumably on both ends.
Looked like lots of O-Boards and indeed KNix had 20 o-rebounds.
More O-boards than assists -- that's an odd game stat.

MIL missing Lopez, Middleton, DiVicenzo.  And JRue working his way back.
Knix keep finding ways to win.

Rose is clearly playing better than Walker. It is not particularly close.

Noel & Mitch are different. Noel was perfect for the Bucks with GA at center. Noel is hopeless against guys like Embid where Mitch gives us a chance.

When we came back it looked like last year's team.  And it was.  Kemba and Evan sat and it was the right move.  They need to watch how it's done and play like the rest of the squad.

Rose had his first very very good game

And Walker has had 2 bad ones consecutively.

Prior - Kemba was shooting 50%.  Rose had played under 20 minutes in 4 straight.

Teams out score the Knicks by 4 when Kemba is on the court. Knicks out score their opponents by 10 when Rose is on the court. That is over the full 9 we have played so far.
