I wonder if RJ would be playing like this if Randle had been dominating? Getting most of the touches.

The FO's going to have to see how this playoff run goes, and make some decisions.


Papabear Says

I think RJ woke up and Randle fell asleep. If this keeps up Obi ain't going anywhere. Randle need to wake up or maby his injury is worse than expected

Lousy game. Great block...

OK no problems, we got Obi

Quickley has been quiet this series. I thought we'd need him to keep the Cavs guards honest on D, but we're handling them so far without a signature game from Quickley... pretty surprising. Let's worry about closing out this series and getting him going vs the next team.

Notice how he hesitated for sec and back dribbled before he realized how open the lane was? He needs to take more decisive power dribbles instead allowing the defense time to set.

Got to see that part of his game when it matters. I get the injury affecting Jules performance. I dont see the workhorse pushing through it. Not yet anyway.

Its going to be hard to get invested in the regular season next year knowing that without some big changes this team is a perennial first round exit.

Bad Toddbot! What did I tell you about visiting there. You're files might get corrupted. Even worse, you're code might get rewritten to Basic.

For a team with "twin towers," the Cavs did a terrible protecting the paint and commanding the boards. Their 2 bigs played 75 minutes and had 2 blocks and 11 rebounds between them, which is exactly what Mitch had.

Ha, listening to the KFS livestream and some called Cedi Ousman "Cheddar Assman." 🤣

No they dont

If Randle was dominating, Knicks wouldn’t need RJ to step like he has.

RJ, thankfully, is playing his role.
What the Knicks need from RJ, when Randle comes back, is to continue what he has been doing which is make better shooting decisions and passes.

Another exciting win.
RJs second game proving some naysayers wrong.
JB being JB. Both Harts with solid games.
We won the game that puts us in control. But Hopefully team keeps it's intensity and does not take foot of the gas.
Successful playoff teams see every game as a must win.

Without a doubt Randle was hurting physically. His conditioning was off, his ankle was off, and his motor was down.. Cavs exploited it in the third. Was our worst stretch of the game.

2 days off before the next one. Lets see if he can get back on track.

For god’s sake, take a shower before you come back in here smelling like that. The stench is all over you.
