You really can’t make this crap up.Randle kills weak ass Piston team - then starts 2-4 against Bucks only to finish rest of night 6-18 while proving zero resistance against Yannis.
Randle/Barrett really hard to watch and Obi playing soft as a marshmallow lately. Seemingly afraid to do anything outside of dribble hand-off and jacking 3s
and that's the thing that you get with Randle and despite his mediocre play the team still needs that. He plays angry. Last night he looked like a spaz and the Bucks will do that to you. I'm bothered by Randle's monster games vs. shit teams followed by the typical 6-18 when the level of competition goes up.
We also saw too much of Randle last night because Brunson didnt have a good game and is clearly banged up. Knicks had 2 offensive threats last night in Randle/RJ and nobody else. Obviously Randle was not good but it wasnt for lack of effort. I'm not defending him beyond Giannis will do that to you.
We literally got steamrolled by Giannis. Just like you dont want to overanalyze the Detriot game you gotta take this one with a grain of salt also. I see them as the clear NBA favorite if they are healthy. Crazy they have done this without Middleton but that's a sick team. Holiday/Giannis/Middleton are just nuts and surrounded by great role guys
bucks probably have the best defense in the league at the moment
we lost because rj played hero ball
Rj wound up at 24 seconds to shot.
Was it a play or he go rogue?
I just watched the replay 4 times. I can’t tell.
We got the ball with 30 seconds on clock.

I'm getting sick of watching this guy. Playing too many minutes, especially in critical situations. I have a lot of belief in our coaching staff but it boggles mind mind why they keep giving him these minutes. As many of us said, he hurts this team in many ways. Now if we can see it why do they keep doing the same thing. Can it be they are playing him for the purpose of getting him some numbers to promote a trade? At this point I would put the blame on the front office for drafting him and especially for giving him an extension. Somebody should be held accountable...one of the most overrated players in the NBA.
Mason and Oakley would NEVER let freak drive the lane all game. we dont have an enforcer

yeah but he would in qtrs 2-4 after those guys foul out in the first. Did you watch? Randle and Mitch both took turns trying to stay with him sometimes and just hitting him other times. Its like getting mad at your big bro.
You think Mason/Oakley are intimidating Giannis? Dude ate garbage as a kid. Giannis is posterizing those guys and then helping them up after

Correct -- they wouldn't even be suited up for the game because of all the flagrant fouls they accumulated. Not the same game or league.
