One could assume (right or wrong) that misses Randle wasn’t all that thrilled with that news —- though what do I know.

Get Jessica on a plane for game 4! Thibs needs to make that adjustment godddammit!! For all of us!

I am watching the highlights of the game. I counted at least 4 plays where they clearly fouled Randle for an and 1 and there is no call. What the heck?

I also see adebayo doing moving screens but our players instead of running through the screen to force the foul decides to side step it 🤷

All of this too.

Totally wild guess: foul calls will shade towards Knicks in this next game but they gotta take advantage of it

On person’s opinion on Fournier and Rose

This rings true for me

98% of thread complaining about Knicks without any cred to Heat and the job they are doing!
Guys, a little appreciation, even for a hated rival to the job they are doing. Maybe our guys are doing the best they can but its not enough vs. a veteran and tough opponent who has experienced this before.

Yeah but can’t Thibs just make the right adjustments and we’ll win the championship? Lol

You dont want to give EF heavy minutes, thats for sure. But a few minutes to spell players who might need a reset, who arent playing well. I dont see that as a bad idea.

Rose, I would keep out because his game is based on his explosiveness. With that style of play its "use it or lose it" at Rose's age. I believe Fournier could handle some PT.

Part of the problem IMO was his playing in the Euro tournament last summer. Looked like he was out of gas when the season started. Hasnt had much of a chance to work his way back into the rotation, with Grimes playing better as the season progressed.

Fournier is plenty rested, and a few minutes might help, if the Knicks are in a hole again. IQ might be out as well, or with limited mobility, burst.

Breaking records.

Fair enough, just don’t hold your breath waiting for it to happen outside of garbage time. About as likely as Grimes ever getting time at PG position.

Rose is done. I’d rather see Deuce. At least he’d bring some intensity on D

Bring Hart off the bench - puts less stress in IQ on ball and sick damn Deuce on Lowry —- Deuce will produce.

I mean just damn Julius…damn.

He doesn’t know how to take an easy shot — he just doesn’t- everything is a wrestling match when he has the ball. Get the ball out of his hands and just have him finish.

martin @ 5/7/2023 11:20 PM
For me these 2 plays sum up how not smart 2 of the Knicks core players are. Low IQ ISO plays against 2 of the best defenders in the league.

You can’t win playoff games if this is what the players think the game plan is or what the team play and plan is all about. You can sometimes get away with ISO plays but not against these types of defenders and team defenses.

The game plan is always to have RJ going downhill using his left hand cause he is mostly a one trick pony. Randle is a better ISO player but only when he isn’t double teamed or against someone with his strength and quickness. And if there is a spin move involved, forgetaboutit. Randle has been getting better at quick decisions but he often fades from that cause he is not an in the moment thinker.

Awful stuff. I think I stopped watching after this and just checked boxscore. Should have gone for a pho soup run or something.

After watching Chris Rock’s latest Netflix special I’m starting to think Will Smith was right. Dude is still living off his HBO specials from the late 90’s
