You need to read, Chamaco

Stay consistent.

Had Boston drafting Ball to be their leader.  Simple stuff.   Some here like to throw Fultz in my face because I have defended him but they get the Boston-Fultz connection to me all wrong.

Thus far Celts have won bupkus with Tatum.  Correct?  And he has at times been considered both diva and chucker?.

Jut checking.

Chamaco, my point was that "Now I understand why Chamaco, in his infinite wisdom, told us all from the very beginning that he (Tatum) was a good choice for Boston when everybody else, including Bank, were shocked, shocked! that they did not keep their No. 1 to select Markelle Fultz as their forever point guard 🤪"

Got it now? You're welcome.

Anyway, I just did your usual thing, using your technique ahead of schedule. You will probably be doing this five years down the road, when nobody remembers who said what, probably including yourself, now that Bank seems to have left the forum.

BTW, What happened to Bank?

C'mon Thibs. Randle needs a break.

Bring Toppin already!

Classic sequence of defensive ineptitude at 4:32 in 3rd quarter allowing K Love a wide open 3...after he had hit one shortly before that...and shortly before that.....

We can deal with Randle as one of our two weakest defenders on the court, not one of our three weakest defenders.

The IQ Grimes RJ Randle Noel lineup looks like it has some potential.

Burks looked gassed today. I was actually wanting to see him pulled for Reddish who I thought could help.

RJ was some missed FTs and a missed 3 from carrying it all despite the mishugas.

A bunch of Cavs players looked good.

Can love be the blueprint for Randle in the last years of his deal?

That last play really sucked!

Sending the ball out to Randle by the logo?

"On the final play, Thibodeau said the Cavaliers took the corner 3s away and gave the Knicks very little to work with."

We didn't need a 3.

Mixed  bag for RJ

An impressive 8-12 on 2 point attempts

5-10 free throws.  Can we ever be confident he goes 2-2?

What happened with Reddish?

the free throws hurt

Julius' second half play hurt

Quickley's (up) - chucking hurt

Reddish is SITUATIONAL, lol

Let's give him a week or two to learn our plays before we worry about his lack of minutes. We don't have very many so it shouldn't take long. He got to see our END GAME SPECIAL so that's out of the way. (Everybody run around like the HK Hamster-catcher is after you until Randle gets the ball as close to half court as possible)

Well, bad luck with IQ. We needed that game and he was ice cold.

But Julius is becoming an enigma. Has a real penchant for making bad plays...just at the worst times. Deadly combo. Kid often brandishes stats to show Randle's positive impact, but that's the kind of thing that doesn't come up in the boxscore.

Increasingly he has defensive lapses that must be due to fatigue or just lack of focus. Either way it's not the kind of thing you see or wanna see in one of your best players. But there it is.             

In the silver lining department...Barrett. Missed fouls or no, something good is going on.

We can deal with Randle as one of our two weakest defenders on the court, not one of our three weakest defenders.

Last year, NYK started 4 defenders around Randle and had ​terrific team defense.

And even Randle was a useful defender, especially near the rim.

A PG and another defender.  I'm in.

Actually I think I offered that up 2+ weeks ago, and then Thibs used it one game and it was a disaster.  But I still like that config.

And your point about Julius is obvious and concerning. He's fucked up. Needs some help. Never seen him so psychologically fragile. If I were the Knicks and there's some hoops guru that might help, I'd fly the man in on the company jet.

So fragile he had Dean Wade on the block and could drive left to the hoop for the score or the foul and instead waits til theres no time for RJ to do anything but catch and shoot.   This guy is TOO fragile.  Last year he would've taken the ball to the hoop.  This year he is fighting that tendency and he ends up thinking too much.  The game moves faster than Randle thinks.   There's a reason he is a bully ball PF not a cerebral PG.

But we aren't flexible like that.
