I thought Randle was the problem. Now he is one of the saviours.

defenses still respect randle by doubling him, and that creates space for the rest of the team, esp for shooters. As a Knicks fan, the problem with Randle was how he would always be doing too much dribbling and spinning in the post thatd cause turnovers, and how he would settle for like 6-10 3 pt attempts a game but he stopped doing that ever since the star of the season and moreso after the OG trade.
teams right now are sending doubles to brunson and daring anyone outside of brunson to shoot. Unfortunately, Knicks dont have anyone besides Donte that can score

@@mind4reak315he fixed the spinning into doubles after his first playoff stint and the 3s was whatever lebron does it all the time but it’s something you deal with but at least randle changed it Knicks fans should’ve realized his impact when all were on the floor randle was the one always doubled but they couldn’t do it anymore after they were getting killed doing that after Knicks got og because he’s a great 3 point shooter and randle has gotten amazing at finding the open shooter out of the double

Burkes & Bogs dont look like a fit. JB looks fatigued, no #2 scorer. DeVO & Hart are great but not consistent enough to keep defenses honest. Even Isiah Hartenstein looks off. Derozan would have been a great #2 to Brunson. The Knicks schedule is gonna get tough too. If it wasn’t for the refs they’d be 0-4.

Knicks are older than they are due to toms system and all their long term players besides brunson now have injury questions.

If our doofus coach, who by the way runs a very unsophisticated, boring offense, would stop playing guys 40 minutes AND/OR keep them in the game when we’re up or down 20 with 2 minutes left………maybe the story of this season is way different. I am a die hard Knicks fan hoping for the best, but these guys will either be hurt or running on fumes come playoff time…been saying it for 2 years. Our players are gamers who are tough guys to begin with and they are still getting hurt. Hart is playing through tendinitis in his knee and our idiotic coach plays him 47 MINUTES last night! Brunson is playing hurt too. Ugh…
