We played so much better that stretch where Obi was in the game. Man I hope thibs can figure something out. We can’t go out like this Knicks brehs

Randle is back to being Dubious Handles. He chose the worse time to revert to his 2019 form

Has nothing with being shook, tired, can’t play in front of fans

Look at the Hawks defenders when he catches the ball...

Analyze the damn game

Ok but for a Franchise player he has to get around this . When your the star everyone is going to game plan for you. If this is his ceiling then there is no need to give him a max

You need a point guard in this league. Keeping the same group from last year Payton/Frank/DSJ to start the season was stupid and we all saw it. Not even drafting a point guard was stupid.

I’m pretty sure everybody who watches this knows this.

Yea, I agree. They're using Milwaukee defense to stop Randle. There's no counter for that. They're also boxing out Nerlens to out rebound and get 2nd chance points.

He’s making mistakes too breh. He stepped out of bounds and has turned it over.

Time for you to make some adjustments, Thibs, you stubborn motherfukker

RJ was drafted to be a franchise player. Y’all gotta hold him a bit accountable as well. Julius is getting defended like hes Bron.

I talked too much shyt to be swept

 

[Typical Knicks Fan]

Rose can’t play 19 minutes in a half. We need a good start and he needs to play the last 7 minutes in each quarter. I hate Frank but you have to start him in the 3rd and hopefully he gives us 10 good minutes to give Rose a rest.

Doubled out of bound. He couldn't go nowhere on that play.

All of that is a function of being uncomfortable from the zone.

He can’t get anything to get his confidence going and he’s in unfavorable spots.

Randle needs to get easier looks, people can say he's shook, etc..they are just discrediting Hawks defense who have done a great job. They need to get him in the post or run PNR with him as the roller. When you are not a great 3 pt shooting team like the Knicks, it will be easier to guard your best player because defenses are willing to let you shoot 3s

 

[Captain Crunch]

Yea, I give. I wouldn't offer him a max. Probably keep him at the same contract and get another star point guard for max. I think Toppin and Quickley plus a 2021 pick will be our future.

You prolly have to give him a max next year if he plays like this year, or else you'll lose him and be forced to tank w/ an anti-tank coach in Thibs

Y'all got a gang of cap space, the issue is that they're aren't any FA's this year or next that are obviously better than Randle. Best course of action for this summer, is to get decent role players on short deals and then try to trade for Jokic/Biid two years from now.

The nikka ain’t god even Bron and Giannis struggled against defense like this

At this point is up to Thibs to make adjustments but his stubborn ass won’t do shyt
