The real question is: how bad will Zach Wilson be facing the bills D in Buffalo?

Whatever he does, it'll be better than Jake Fromm's attempts at growing facial hair. Looking at that dude gives me flashbacks of my freshman year "mustache."
0-2 without Julius Randle (two atrocious loses).But tonight during his return?
Knicks: 104.
Pacers: 94.
And he was also (by far) the best player on that court tonight.
38 Minutes.
30 Points.
16 Rebounds.
4 Assists.
2 Steals.
12/20 from the field (.600%).
Knicks are now 4-0 during Julius Randle's previous 4 games.
I've said it once before and will continue to say it some more; when you're looking for a N.Y whipping boy? You just make sure you leave Julius Randle ALONE.

Like how guilible you are to the hype of “Back ups” like Grimes, McBride and OBI and realize Thibs might know more than you do?
There was a lot of negativity from the UK going into last nights game despite Indy’s losing streak and covid problems. Also that Myles Turner is a god, and we can’t beat them.
Looked like a march madness game last night with Sykes getting hot keeping them in the game. Can almost feel Briggs influence of wanting to sign him to a long term deal based on his play! Love the little dudes and he hangs 22 in his 4th game on NBA.TV broad cast1
Jules had 30 but its not a pretty 30. Thats who he is.
RJ? He is having an awful season yet has a 35 pt game and 32 last night. 21, and inconsistant. Id rather see these flashes then steady low ceiling stuff.
Forget the NYmental hype machine. Don’t matter if he should be a senior at duke. We have a good kid who is a good defender, stays healthy, is physically getting powerful even at his age, and is making progress in many ways. When does he break out and how? No guarantee. He might be Andrew Wiggins/Harrison Barnes ceiling. Not terrible, just not the star we crave. His birthday is August.
Randles ball movement was good last night. More kick outs. More quick passes. Then he hung 30.
Hie game will speak for itself. The hype is tired. The hate is over reactive. This is suppose to be fun.

Dude, the “leave brittney alone” Thing is really funny, but your not that far away from it.
More quick decisions, more midrange pull-up's, more drives to the hoop and less dribble dribble spin spin and step back threes.

+1
Both Randle and RJ were not forcing the three. They both adjusted to a lot of midrange stuff, which I know is not popular around here. 62 points is 62 points.
Which, to quote Mike Breen, reminds me of a song...
☆ Julius Randle deserves so much credit for tonight's game vs. Boston too.
He played with absolute FIRE tonight.
Randle started off shooting cold in the 1st Q but during the 2nd/3rd/4th Qs he was big time.
And finished the game with 38 minutes, 22 points, 8 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 steals off of 8/20 shooting (.400%).
Also, 0 TURNOVERS.
Don't let that 8/20 from the field fool you either. Because he started off 0/3 but still managed to stay mentally focused, played with heart and finished 8/17.
NY now on a 5 game winning streak during Julius Randle's previous 5 games played (5-0)
I was just going to take the time to praise Julius for his wonderful game last night. There was little to no shakiness handling the ball and he made good decisions.
And then he decided to open his mouth. Some people just can’t control themselves. 
Yeah, too bad for him that he can't just vent pointlessly on here like we do! Damned overpaid athletes!
I seem to remember we liked We Here...

Flip on the Fans like they Flip on him.
Imagine if Social media was around when Ewing played....No way he makes 15 seasons in NY

I personally have no issue with what he said. No one said fans and players have to like each other. As long as he plays hard like he did like night he can say whatever he wants to about fans. Like Jordan made it personal with other teams and players to get that edge. Maybe Randle just needs to do that with Fans who call him out when he gets lazy. All I care about are the results.

So he’s wrong for going back at the fans? After he’s been constantly attacked by fans. So it’s ok to verbally hate him when he’s down, and love him when he’s up? He’s a human being like you and me. Sometimes we think nba players are robots and lacks emotions and shouldn’t be sensitive to feedback in this social media era.
I have no problems with his gesture. Thumbs down is similar to giving the middle finger to all his haters, who unfortunately are mostly knick fans. Let’s hope during the next home game these same boo birds will try and appreciate him more. Otherwise he’s gone and the next star player will make a last minute detour to brooklyn.
Just like u was going to show him love until he opened his mouth. Think about the potential star players who had the Knicks on their radar. They are saying the same thing as you. Until knick fans opened their mouth, I wanted to play for them. But knick fans don’t deserve it. We don’t know how to treat our own players. And this social media era where everybody is now a bully with a keyboard, is not helping.
I don't have a problem with Randle going at the fans or the fans going at Randle. Everyone needs to vent.

I feel the same. Before last night, I was 100 percent on his side. Now I want to tell him to go fuck himself. Dudes like that always act like the fans mean dick. Right pal... sure, ownership would pay you all that money without fans
If Randle hustles and plays hard on defense and doesn't complain to the zebras and mope around, he won't get booed.
It's not that hard.
Correction.
Julius Randle did not curse @ and/or give the thumbs down to Knicks "fans".
Julius Randle cursed @ and gave the thumbs down to a bunch of drunk SCUMBAGS. The same drunk NY SCUMBAGS who booed both Patrick Ewing and Derek Jeter. And those are not "fans"; those are nothing more than scumbags.
Julius Randle did not disrespect his true fans, supporters or MSG faithful; he disrespected those drunk SCUMBAGS who not only booed him but also Jeter & Ewing too.
There is a difference.
And if you're a drunk scumbag who ever booed Julius Randle? You don't deserve Julius Randle; you deserve...
Eddy Curry.
Beno Udrih.
Luc Longley.
Malik Rose.
Steve Francis.
Renaldo Balkman.
Michael Sweetney.
Andy Rautins.
Mardy Collins.
Cezary Trybanski.
Jerome James.
Mike Bibby.
Travis Knight.
Etc.
It's one thing to expect greatness out of your players. It's one thing to criticize, critique and demand better. But it's another thing to BOO your best player and BOO the heart and soul of your team.
No real NY fan would ever nor could ever BOO Julius Randle/Patrick Ewing/Derek Jeter; only drunk SCUMBAGS looking to get shitfaced @ a game could ever do such a thing.

Who the F are you to call other people scumbags? Go check yourself in the mirror. Do you see Julius Randle's face? If not STFU about other fans that are doing what any fan has the right to do.
