The Heat are doing to Brunson and Randle what we did to Garland and Mitchell last round. They have the scheme and personnel for it. It is working on us.

We have to come back at them in a way that either bypasses it or makes that a liability for them.

If we do not, most likely we will continue to lose.

We have to make those open looks and free throws

Oh well big step forward this year. Knicks are finally relevant in the championship chase. Number one need is a cold blooded 3 pt. shooter.

Is there any topic you are not an idiot on? I ask because it is not something you have ever managed to achieve in a forum post.

Luee has the kind of rotting brain that pests like Tucker feed on.

That was a sad game.

Miami is a tough place to win. I do not think the Knicks will be heading back there this season.

Lowry and Butler were better than anyone we had out there on the court.

That was so fucking brutal.

There's losing...and then there are the losses we've seen in the last couple of games.

Why must I suffer?!

Randle 39. Brunson 44. Grimes 42.
Toppin 6. McBride 4.

Whats wrong with that?
For one thing, we are playing a 7 man rotation and tired in the 4Q.

Does anyone think we can take three in a row from these guys?

I thought Randle played much better than the previous game. And I realize that he may be playing hurt. But what strikes me is his psychological fragility. The game at that level requires so much focus and concentration, but he can't seem to control his head. Bitch about a foul. Fine. But then let the shit go. Focus. Be in the moment. When he's in one of these waves, he just seems wildly distracted by anything bad that's happened on the court. That leads to the lack of hustle we see more and more. It's just like he's not all there.

If any athlete needs a good therapist, it might well be Julius.

First thing to attack on the Knicks is Randles head. The Hawks did it and now the Heat are too.

I am more impressed with the work Vincent is doing on Brunson.

We might need to rework some of our thoughts about roster construction when all is said and done.

Yes, Randle is more than fragile, he is mentally ill. I am pretty sure he's already in therapy.

It's a good reason not to try and build a franchise around him.

A good reason to give Obi more than spot minutes over the last three years.

* btw, some people are saying Obi looks like a$$ these playoffs. I don't think so at all, love how he's finally trying different stuff as folks cover the corner three and Thibs reductive offense is exposed..taking through the lane, along baseline, stuff in the paint etc..sure, he hasn't always been executing, but what do you expect...should have been getting those FREE MINUTES like RJ-the original-LOW IQ BARRETT..

** Speaking of whom, it is astounding, which the exception of his oop-combo to Mitch, how truly turrible RJ's passes are. Never in rhythm, never on the spot. He delivers it at your ankles, at your ears, to the left, right and sideways. Amazing that he ever has an assist.

I firmly believe it ends tonight, and we get going on the next steps in our build.
But by all means, surprise me Knicks.

Make my day!
