Well...that player is a Knick now and other teams fans can complain that their front office blew it and missed out on a steal. Gotta love it...Quickley's complimentary B.ball has made Knicks Games worth watching .. I did want to see more of the Noel, Obi, Knox, River, and Quickley lineup tho ....
Tonight, Randle did not play point-forward, and the Knicks WON 102 - 81
There were no reason to give Barrett 40 min, and Randle 36 min tonite .. Wsup Thibs ???
The Knicks out-scored the Cavs every quarter of the game, plus the bench lineup took a 20 point lead early in the 4th Qtr..
Huh? Randle didnt take a shot for a large part of the game. He was the main distributor.

I was pretty surprised to see both rj and randle back out there .... would like to see obi get more burn he needs to get in a rhythm.
Sexland must've said something to Quick in preseason to make him come out like this against them.

We have a young team and all the wins are team wins. Good defense, a stead dose of pounding from RJ/Randle and hopefully SOMEONE can shoot itA good part of the game I thought they were going to hold the cavs to the low 70s
Thibs is exhibit A that coaching really matters and it’s not just him. Players are genuinely all ears listening to Bryant and Payne
Mitche’s fouls are way down. RJ’s shot selection way better. RAndles spinovers way down.
Would like to see more of kk and obi
I also like how Alan Hahn was talking about the offense and how the guys are getting good shots just not hitting them. Our Obi/IQ draft has some nice scoring punch so I really like the option of just improving from within. As other guys start scoring more RJ keeps looking better and better

Seems a bit premature, but there is no doubt Thibs is getting the most out of our best players. Playing Randle and RJ right to the end concerns me. Im sure part of it is sending a message to some bench players to bring their A game. It also looks like old habits dying hard.
Thibs reminds me of Kevin Costner's character in "Tin Cup" who keeps swinging away in the big tournament, when he should play more conservatively. Would you feel the same way about Thibs if RJ had been seriously hurt in the last minute of the game? I really hope this isnt a trend. Eventually it will catch up with a player.
Garbage time should be for bench players to try to make a case for more minutes. Or keep the core from getting hurt when the game is all but over.
