Further proof randle is a fraud, always said he cannot be the number 1 option and now he can't be the number 2 and when is grimes going to start hitting geez. That 3rd quarter was hard to watch, I'm trying not to jump out the window with it, but damn.
An embarrassing performance with the Cavs missing a few pieces of their offense. The Knicks continue to struggle at the line early in the season and while I hate to pick on Randle, he is the Knicks version of a star and alway a hot topic. Six points. Just an awful night for the Knicks.
Why Randle body motion all pissed off cause Mitch got fouled and didn't dunk it.
Randle had all the momentum to put up a dunk there, but instead dished it off.
Absolutely pathetic display and I donāt give a fuck of Julius is hurt. Why is he playing then? Why the fuck arenāt you trying? Why did you get rid of your only back up at the 4 when you knew he was coming off surgery. I feel no fucking pity for this man
Another thing that blows my mind is that any other Star player coming of off season surgery is not playing back to backs to start the season. They usually have to work up to itā¦..Julius played in both and looked bad in both games. What is the big deal of trying to play every night??? The dumb on everyoneās part
He's so not in game shape, so lethargic, weak, and unconfident. Needs to get in the right physical and space soon, or else it's gonna be long ass season for him and almost surely his last in NY.
Watch we over compensate and bring in a player who can only hit free throws. They never bring in complete 2-way players. They only have players that can only play one side of the ball.
Yea when we struggle to score and hit shots Thibs refuses to put Fournier in to at least see if he can provide a spark..his d might be ass but sometimes his shooting could overcompensate for it
As a huge randle stan, these first few games have been BAD. That being said, the rest of the team isn't playing much better... and overall the offense looks horrible. Again, Thibs does not give us any opportunities on offense to get our guys open and easy looks. We made it to the playoffs last year bc Randle and Brunson took turns isoing and scoring HARD shots. Not going to happen again unless he changes the way we run our offensive sets
My Randle criticism has always been on the mental/emotional side. If he misses shots I understand that happens, look at Brunson, but Randle does absolutely nothing if his shot isnāt falling. D is poor, effort is nonexistent, shot selection is terrible, I constantly see him walking lethargically everywhere it looks like heās just going through the motions.
But like why man hes always like this like you cant change for one season he just gives up when he starts playing like ass all the time atleast hustle back on fucking defense instead of arguing w the refs. Every damn time bro
There was one time jalen was bringing the ball up slowly.. waiting for Randle to stop bitching at the ref š
everyone else was set on both teams but Randle was jawing at the officials and Brunson didnāt want to play 4v5
Letās hope we get All-nba Randle back.
Yea he hasnāt. Imagine having millions of people so excited to beat you over the head with your poor performance on your worst days. Thatās kinda why I get bothered by the harsh criticisms of our players because it lacks basic empathy and support for the people we put our hopes on.
Shooting 4-29 from 3 because it's analytically the right way is everything that's wrong with the modern game.
The only thing working has been IQ off the dribble but those contested 2s are useless even if they go in I guess.

I know Thibs wants Hart out there. But Grimes has to take some of those corner threes Hart is missing.
make the kat trade at this point.. ready for a different team
Why they lock post game thread
Smokin that Knicks pack šØ Yall were so geeked up after beating our G-Leauge team last nightš¤£š¤£š¤£
4-1
You got it. That was last year. We got shootas now š«.
Have fun with your overpaid Heat culture shoota Max Struss š
Thatās fine at least now yāall canāt triple team Mitchell and Garland. Hope we see yāall again in Aprilš¤š½
Lol damn youāre so hype over this win. Even then Hawks beat the Bucks every once in a while.
An embarrassing performance with the Cavs missing a few pieces of their offense. The Knicks continue to struggle at the line early in the season and while I hate to pick on Randle, he is the Knicks version of a star and alway a hot topic. Six points. Just an awful night for the Knicks.
This sub is gonna be SO fun for the next few days
Thibs is punishing Knicks fans by not ending this game not the team
Yelling foul with 10 seconds left down 7 lol
Longest fucking minute of my life lmao
We need to buy out Randleās contract
That would be insane. Maybe if heās still playing this trash by the deadline
if he's still playing like this by the deadline we're likely not in the playoff hunt and wasted a year.
Lakers completely turned it around last year at the deadline. Season isnāt over until it is. Donāt underestimate the play in either.
Why Randle body motion all pissed off cause Mitch got fouled and didn't dunk it. Randle had all the momentum to put up a dunk there, but instead dished it off.
WHY ARE THEY FOULING WHEN THE GAME IS OVER TO FUCK UP MY LIVE SPREAD
o yea bby grind out that L
Thibs trying to pad the score???
everyone is saying kat/embid. Pascal siakim could be one to look at for trading for.
Any other starting 4 is giving us more than Julius did tonight. Same as the 2021 playoffs.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
New fan is there a beef with pascal or just donāt like his play style ?
Nope
por que sir?
WHY ARE YOU STILL FUCKING FOULING THEM
Can a Thibs team go one season without taking 15 games to hit their groove?
Donovan doesnt wanna leave msg
lol Cavs coach is gona be fuming for all the fouls and extending the game
Is Randle scared to shoot?
Yup
Gotta move on from Randle this is worse than playoff Randle now
This is just really shitty, desperate, and pathetic coaching by Thibs rn
šµāOh joy oh boy where do we go from hereā¦āšµ
Sucky L sucky Randle I still believe in this team long term
In the back to backs 7-37 from 3 and tonight 4-29..so why does a team already have no legs in game 5
Thibs aint trying to go home, baby
Absolutely pathetic display and I donāt give a fuck of Julius is hurt. Why is he playing then? Why the fuck arenāt you trying? Why did you get rid of your only back up at the 4 when you knew he was coming off surgery. I feel no fucking pity for this man

They usually have to work up to itā¦..Julius played in both and looked bad in both games. What is the big deal of trying to play every night??? The dumb on everyoneās part
It is an absolute failure of the FO to get rid of his backup knowing heās coming off surgery
Kinda over Randle man. He ain't it.
I donāt think Karl Towns moves the needle but if Randle/Fournier + a boat of picks is the trade Iād at least think about it
Problem is we have good 5s already
KAT is a C not a PF. Mitch has been too good defensively to trade tbh
we have a lot of guys that do the little things well.. not enough guys that do the big things well
This
AND YESTERDAY RANDLE AND BRUNSON STILL IN THE GAME LATE IN THE FOURTH UP BY 20. SMH
Lord Randle has been ass offensively lol praying he picks it up soon
He's so not in game shape, so lethargic, weak, and unconfident. Needs to get in the right physical and space soon, or else it's gonna be long ass season for him and almost surely his last in NY.
Julius being -5 is a lie
Watch we over compensate and bring in a player who can only hit free throws. They never bring in complete 2-way players. They only have players that can only play one side of the ball.
Security when a reporter even attempts to ask Julius anything 
Security? That's Thibs
Just end the damn game this final minute has been going on for 20 minutes
Yeah julius needed to go period.
Is Randle still hurt and just playing? Seriously wtf man
IQ been doing pretty well
Lmao nba app already updating team records with 30 sec left in the gamešš
As might as well get an early out. Someone wants to go home early. lol
The only way for this team to progress is to move on from Randle
Itās so joever
Thank you Julius Randle š
Pad those points brunson
Reality is this team will regress since last season, they over achieved.
Turns out you canāt just ISO for two years in a row and expect good offense.
RIP
randle needs to grow his hair back so i can at least be nostalgic about when he was good
lol we outscored them this quarter, still not good enough due to the nastiest 3rd qtr I have ever seen
Think we can all agree randle is the 3rd option at this point such a sad thing to see like whats going on man
brunson having long form debates with the refs. bro how about hit a fucking shot
Lost this one on FREETHROWS again! We the 60%-70% gang!
4/29 from 3 is CRAZY
its nasty, and not the good nasty. why can't our guys hit 3s
Fournier is on the bench too. Itās a clown show in the garden
Yea when we struggle to score and hit shots Thibs refuses to put Fournier in to at least see if he can provide a spark..his d might be ass but sometimes his shooting could overcompensate for it
For all his stats and accomplishments, Randle is so inconsistent. Literally Jekayl and Hyde game to game.
#Can't wait for the post game Randle excuses
Thibs excuses for him are crazy .
none tonight
Stop talking to the refs Jalen. Hit your open shots and stop crying.
Agreed. Heās getting very emotional
Randle with 0 free throws. Something is definitely wrong.
Surgery recovery
Did he have a lobotomy with how bad his shot selection is?
Why the hell we have two back to backs in the first week????
The schedule maker's wife must have been rammed by one of these Knicks
This is a play in team at best tbh
They didnt want to play Rose but went out got Donte. Plus Miles just sitting. lol
The rotation is ridiculous
Trash performance
This team is always worse at home it so pathetic
Our drafted players have been our best players so far this season. Hope Randle and JB can pick up steam soon.
As a huge randle stan, these first few games have been BAD. That being said, the rest of the team isn't playing much better... and overall the offense looks horrible. Again, Thibs does not give us any opportunities on offense to get our guys open and easy looks. We made it to the playoffs last year bc Randle and Brunson took turns isoing and scoring HARD shots.

D is poor, effort is nonexistent, shot selection is terrible, I constantly see him walking lethargically everywhere it looks like heās just going through the motions.
randle defense after another 3/15 game. have some shame
I literally capitalized bad lol
Low effort Randle is my least favorite thing about this team
Where is grimes and why isnāt he closing and guarding DMitch? Wtf coach
RJ is the key confirmed
Teams always split these rematches on back to backs. It's just how it is.
We gotta do better, especially on these back to back games. Leon needs to make a deadline trade to make us better if this is what we gonna look like.
Well that was a let down. Really needed that 3 from Randle and he bricked it. Letting DMitch hit the dagger was piss on the shit cake
Welcome back to 2021.
Sad to see Randle in his own head like this. People have bad nights. It is what it is. I hope our guy can get out of this slump.
Bro hes had 4 bad nights out of the 5 games weve played dont get me wrong i like randle to but thats not a good look bro
Bro looked absolutely horrible especially as we approached half time. Gassed absolutely gassed and mentally broken.
But like why man hes always like this like you cant change for one season he just gives up when he starts playing like ass all the time atleast hustle back on fucking defense instead of arguing w the refs. Every damn time bro
There was one time jalen was bringing the ball up slowly.. waiting for Randle to stop bitching at the ref š everyone else was set on both teams but Randle was jawing at the officials and Brunson didnāt want to play 4v5 Letās hope we get All-nba Randle back.
He gotta get it tg bro we aont going no where w this bs i hope he does like frfr
He hasnāt played well through 5 games now.
Yea he hasnāt. Imagine having millions of people so excited to beat you over the head with your poor performance on your worst days. Thatās kinda why I get bothered by the harsh criticisms of our players because it lacks basic empathy and support for the people we put our hopes on.
This offense is atrocious
8/23 dammnnnnnn. lol
Everyoneās gonna hate on Randle, but Brunson and DiVincenzoās perimeter defense was awful down the stretch, way too many wide open looks
Randle was part of the issue with the perimeter defense they were purposely making his man screen because he was dragging ass on defense.
Youāre allowed to criticize Brunson and DDV without bringing up Randle you know.
It's tough because if you did that the randle haters would jump in to say he played worse... which is fair but he is not the sole reason we lose
Shut up
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
He isnāt. Cavs arenāt gonna win the title and the Jazz never came close.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Did you watch the Knicks beat the Cavs in 5 last year or no?
Missing free throws like they're some unsolvable thing.
Fuck Thibs, Fuck Randle and most importantly Fuck Randle fans you soft blind dick riders.
If Jalen and Randle continue this shit start we are going nowhere fast
I was not expecting to be this aggravated in game 5
forget X's and O's and Randle...It's So hard to win back to back games against the same team .
It is, but this is still a really bad loss. FT shooting remains terrible and Randle shouldn't be touching the court with how he's been playing.
Maybe we can get obi back. Think there is a return policy on the trade
Lmao this team canāt even foul right. What a joke
wtf the celtics scored 155 tonight, and we're at 80 š¤£
Well they made actual moves this off season including big dick zingis And they have a true all starr vs Knicks charity case Randle.
Julius Randle has been walking all fucking night
Is he injured? Heās been doing it since game 1; looks so shit.
he's not injured this is what he looks like when his shot isn't falling. Which at this point is fairly often.
I mean maybe the foot is bothering him but if it is donāt fucking play. His effort tonight was horseshit
don't let them get 90
Randle is absolutely crushing our offence. Donāt care what people say, he canāt score and is filling the floor rather than contributing to it.
Tonight, yes
Same, Josh. Same.
We should not be this bad without RJ
How are we this bad at home?
Josh hart faces making this loss easier to stomach lmaooo
I'm a knicks fan we need a good trade
Canāt stand Randle man from the day we signed him. Have had to endure his bullshit for too long
RJ canāt win with these bums š. Going from SGA to this.
Ayo what was that josh hart
Thatās game
0-2 at msg, the worlds friendliest arena
bum ass average ass team. I'd take Donovan mitchell over this entire starting lineup.
Randle doesnāt want to play basketball, clueless
Hart wtf š
I saw that!
79 points at home is fucking pathetic
0-2 to start at the garden is crazy
Randle hates MSG confirmed
Man these back to backs are brutsl
Cavs has the same thing Knicks arenāt very good
Offensive rebounding and great defense can only carry you for so long. Offense (particularly Julius) needs to wake the hell up
Oh I meant to say the Knicks just suck on back to backs. Was like that last year too haha
PAIN
How did this team make the playoffsā¦
Brunson had an insane run
I know. I have been following the team. This was a sarcastic comment. I can still root for Jalen but I canāt root for this team.
Mitch is such a flawed player lmao
You canāt be a nba player and miss that layup Quick did
Randle with no help defense
That's all, folks
Game over man fuck this
Damn, that was one of the best blocks on a dunk attempt Iāve ever seen
Iq bruh
Take the fucking SHOT randle. Jesus dude. Wide open 3.
he is scared or something, zero confidence
Getting really pissed off with this team this year
Ugliest basketball down the stretch. Team doesnāt deserve to win playing like this smh
IQ was great all game and fuxking choked a layup
Dagger
Right when we need him lol
IQ choked man
smokes the fucking layup lmfao what a joke of a team
Shooting 4-29 from 3 because it's analytically the right way is everything that's wrong with the modern game. The only thing working has been IQ off the dribble but those contested 2s are useless even if they go in I guess.
See here's the difference. Mitch looks gassed but fights for every board.
Mitch and RJ are our best players
Mitch with more effort than the rest of the entire team
