Trade RJ, trade Randle, trade Mitch, bench Grimes
Grimes is going to have nightmares about that shot. Good motivator. Gutsy D though

Tough series, a real grind.
I agree, the better team won.

By building around him you need shooters so the middle opens up. That means Randle and RJ got to go.
Great season. Loved every second of it. Except those few times Randle sulked
Just needed RJ or Randle to show up--it didn't happen.
This series will make this a better team.
Respect Miami, but also fuck Miami.

I dunno. We got some good shooters on the cheap back when Pringles was coach. Do that again and maybe....
Thibs is a joke.
The McBride, Obi, Hart lineup was disgraceful.
Randle should be ashamed of himself.
Mitch got destroyed again.
Spolestra ended Thibs career
We need Brunson - Randle pick and roll next season. That's what they did with Bam, then Bam often times passed, Randle can do the same
Hated that it ended but enjoyed the ride. Proud of this team. Goodnight.
Horrible game
Proud of this team.
FUCK MIAMI

RJ and Randle will play the bulk of their minutes with Brunson since they are all starters. There is no way around it. They have to go. It will work during the regular season but once teams actually game plan it shows why they have to go.
On balance, lost to a better team. No shame in that. Miami will give Boston/Philly all they can handle.
Great season! Until next year...some changes needed
FO needs to get JB help in the off season.
We win if he had anyone helping him that was next level tonight.
Randle looked scared.
RJ looked not Kobe like.
The rest of our guys looked like borderline role players.
Game was lost when we got off to a 14 point lead and our bench came in.
But only because JB was the only guy making shots in the second.

🤣 Tell me how you really feel. Hard to argue but most will. Don’t need anything drastic but man how’s the RJ and Randle marriage going? How long has it been and when can we grade this union? Playoff Randle showed up again or didn’t show. He’s pretty much a regular season player but 3rd wheel on a playoff team.

Well, if that's what it takes, those are good assets to trade. We'll see though.
respect to the Heat. Knicks were there in final 8.
Jimmy really carries himself well. Does not complain, keeps it tight.
No blame. Knicks left it all out there and in the end there was not enough.
