I think a win tonight would solidify us as being an ELITE team in the EAST..
The suns are a very good team
Pho is an elite team, one of the best in the NBA and got smoked last night. Expect a tough game for the Knicks. Nobody played a ton of minutes either. They wont be tired, just pissed off.
I think the Knick's hot play continues but you cant win em all
What the Knicks have in their favor is Randle vs. anyone on the Suns. Cameron Johnson and Crowder are not gonna matchup well defending Randle so we will need a monster game from him to hang in this and we might get it. It might be in the form of the pass. Lets see if they run a lot of doubles at him. Its a def measuring stick game. Looking forward!!!
I've been thinking about Randle comps - and he's really quite similar to the 35-36 year old version of Lebron. Randle is a bit more physical, while Lebron (at 36) conserves his energy a bit more (but can still jump). Really tough to guard because he does his thing off ball and can also dribble it up and initiate himself.

On the flip side, if they pull this one off, they have two very winnable games following @home vs Chicago and then in Houston.

Seems like the first game in a while now where I have genuine concern if we take this one. Expect Randle to be absolutely besieged by constant double teams. Real focus on passing out of the double team and a battle of perimeter offence.
Bring it on. Go NYK!

I can see that. Hope Randle is as durable, if we give him a long term deal. Dont see how we dont, the way he's playing. As far as passing skills. The way Lonzo makes those bullet passes with the flick of the wrist, reminds me of LeBron.
Looking forward to this game. I know CP3 is playing great. We improved in so many other areas, that it doesnt feel like a big loss to whiff on Paul. Just something we need to handle down the road.
I remember when Monty Williams was a Knick. Remember the concern about his heart condition. Glad he's done so well in coaching. Just not tonight!
Fucking Payton. Give the ball up! Pass ahead for Randle was there
