The best part of this is we didn't trade our draft picks away so if we suck its not a lost season all together. Don't get me wrong we are stuck with bums on the roster and that sucks, but at least we will keep our lottery pick. Randle is the worst, gets a big deal and just shuts down.
Draft picks are useless because we have no luck and Thibs wont play them anyway.
I'm just saying, Its not like when Phil Jackson was here and we had horrible basketball and no picks. At least this year we have underachieving players, and picks. It's not nearly as bad, just way more disheartening.
Watching this team feels like going to the dentist.
In his downtime while "not playing well" Randle is flirting with a triple double

The 9 assists is great to see.
Awesome team win tonight.
Can't wait for Chicago tomorrow night.

The last two were to a scorching hot Burks( recognition there) for a couple of daggers to put the game away ( trust in teammates instead of going into superhero mode) There is a good chance that player growth looks exactly like what Randle is doing this season
Burks 6/7 from 3 was out of his mind.
I'll never turn down a W.........

You mean draft picks like RJ, IQ or Obi?
RJ gets good time but he is stuck playing in a starting group that does not fit his game at all. IQ now that he is out of his slump and other players are struggling deserve way more time than he is getting. Obi who is top 3 most impactful player for us is capped at 16 or so minutes no matter how good he plays or how bad Randle plays. Grimes and McBride who gets essentially no time even thought they can score and provide good defense which we desperately need. I could understand them not getting enough time if the players ahead of them were playing well but that has not been the case most of this year.We want to add more draft picks to that? We have trash luck so it will be mid lotto at best. This means they will just be added to the bench which some fans will freak if you try to use at all.
I don't even know where you are going with this. Thibs does play rookies. And draft picks are good to have, and when you have more of them, it's even better.

Knicks are 6-2 against teams .500 or better. Not saying that dictates anything going forward but I’m not looking at a set of games and judging anything. This is the nba. Most of the time you can beat anyone or lose to anyone. Have to go one game at a time.

I'm cool to just agree to disagree about playing rookies. I don't have the energy to debate about this team anymore.

this is how Randle has to play- he has to be the super glue and not try to dominate by bouncing the ball. He has to see the game, let it come to him.
