I don't care if we win - I still hate the Randle ISO with 4 guys standing around offense we run... especially when we have 2 non-shooters (Noel, Payton) out of the 4 remaining players. That makes things extra hard when the defense has 4 players available to focus on 2 actual shooting threats. Atlanta has 3-4 minimum and a speedy PG that can also shoot/penetrate. It's a setup to fail unless we shift the approach or shoot the lights out.

We can’t have Young guarding Bullock and not be able to capitalize

AtlantA is a very long team.

Knicks over compensating on young

I said before the series that we struggle guarding the pick n roll and the Hawks are picking us apart running the PNR. Our weak side defender helps/cheats all the way into the paint leaving the weak side corner wide open. Trae is whipping a pass to the wide open player in the opposite corner. We scramble to cover the corner jumper, but one extra pass to the wing and the Hawks get a wide open 3 everytime.

If anyone thinks that in lieu of getting a real PG Randle can handle those duties, I give you this.

ALT playing better defense, offense and out coaching the Knicks

This. Though I thought we did a better job scrambling in regular season than we are now.

Where is Randle?
