“Villanova Dogs and a Domesticated WildKAT... Make It Make Sense..." Official 2024 NY Knicks off-season Thread

[ECA]

Randle being two time all-nba playing alongside Barrett is insane

Loved to see all the cutting and ball movement throughout. Once the other premier scorer/shot creator is acquired, it’ll be next level.

All them shots OG hit, y'all know deep down in your hearts, RJ clanks.

 

[The War Report]

Y'all gonna sour on dude again as soon as he plays like a dub in the playoffs.

Waiting for a write up from @storyteller now

I'll have the full recap set up to drop with the KFTV newsletter tomorrow. But the Cliff's Notes:
- OG just showed exactly why he's a perfect fit. The defense looked different, and his scoring without needing the ball is a game changer next to Brunson/Randle.

- Randle bookended the game with fantastic play. But he's starting to run into turnover problems again, which hurt his contributions in the middle quarters.

- Brunson shot horribly, and the Knicks still won thanks to the new-look defense. I had a note in my last recap that Brunson would still be crowded but get higher assist tallies, and he set a season-high for assists with 14 today.

- Divincenzo/Grimes/Hart is like a constant dose of energy. They all attacked, hit shots, and played defense in ways that compliment the key guys.

- Hartenstein's defensive impact in the middle was massive.

- Thibodeau sticking undersized Precious against gigantic Rudy Gobert in the second half was setting a new guy up to fail. Precious can be a decent hustle guy against backups, but this wasn't the right way to get production out of him.

- Grimes should get a few more of Josh Hart's minutes. If Deuce is only gonna get 2 minutes a half, DiVincenzo should just take those minutes.

- This wasn't even the team's final form. Brunson hitting his usual looks would have made this a blowout.

I'm more of a knicks fan than most of you. remember yall wanted randle gone for a late 2nd round pick.

I wasn’t part of that yall. But I remember, you definitely was one of the handful Randle supporters in the thread.

Randle getting MVP chants late in the game was fugazi as fukk.

I'm going give Thibbs the benefit of the doubt here, because he's probably used to sticking "skilled" undersized big like Gibson out there and not having to worry as much

He’s gotten that multiple times this year

 

[tremonthustler1]

He’s gotten that multiple times this year

and it's fugazi every time.

The love/hate relationship NY has with Randle is fascinating.
