Friendly reminder that Foolius Randle is dropping 20 each game on us in Skechers
Good for him. Too bad I don't care.Not sure if you noticed, his replacement had just hit a couple of historic Knicks shots to win game 4 for us.
So a post about Randle doing well turns into how KAT is doing?
Seems like two separate items to me?
Both something to be happy about except…
to the haters who claimed Randle was useless in playoffs.
Yep, probably. I don't remember any person saying he was useless. When he was a Knick he played hard. Until he didn't run back to complain to the refs, or gave the fans the thumbs down or sulk or whatever else it was he did when he was here. Is he Superman now? Robin ? Spiderman? Doesn't matter really as he is no longer on the team. Do I wish he was more mature and complete as a Knick? Of course. But at this point why are we even taking about him. This is a Knicks forum where we talk all Knicks stuff. Hence the reroute of the discussion to his replacement.
A couple of things.
We both know that him playing well in playoffs does matter to you. 
You responding to post above is first clue.
Second, you may have misread thread title.
It’s AROUND the NBA, hence, people taking bout LA vs Minny and how well Julius is playing.
Would agree with you regarding all his annoying habits.
Let’s name a player who has none.
Biggest hater lie was that he sucked in playoffs. Leaving out he was never healthy in them.
My point was always that a true basketball fan who is fairly gauging a players worth should consider value in the formula. Most Randle haters never accounted for his production at the $26M mark.
Nor did they appreciate the 90’s style of play some of us appreciated.
Fair take. I agree 💯. I especially liked the 9O's style. I felt like we could beat anyone playing that way.
I like this one especially
Tyresee is not a bad guy. He is obnoxious and smiles too much. Not the worst thing.
What was crazy was Giannis peering down on his pops and the sheer size difference was astonishing. How a parent of an NBA player can talk that level of shit to someone on the court is crazy. I get being a proud dad. Most parents don't do stupid things like that! In any event nobody got hurt and perhaps Giannis should have just walked away but he is human and was no doubt frustrated. So disrespectful and perhaps NBA will set new boundaries going forward for what's acceptable and not. Parents should not be on the floor if not properly credentialed. If they thats no reason to behave improper.
Props to the Halliburtons for quickly apologizing and recognizing their mistake. In a world were often folks try to wiggle out or excuse themselves for bad behavior they quickly showed proper respect after that mistake.

At least we got to see LeBum and the cHeat get embarrassed and eliminated. So whoever ends up winning it this year won't bother me at all.
I'd consider sending KAT to Utah or LA in some type of 3 team trade to land Kessler and either a solid backup PG or another 6'8/6'9 wing that can cover the PF and shoot from outside. His softness will not work unless we can better pair him with a defensive rim protecting C that can shoot outside of 2 feet...

You're trading an All NBA big for Walker Kessler and a backup PG?

Totally expected take
Tyrese is similarly classless but we know now Apple doesn’t fall far from the tree

What's on the court or off it that can matter. Guys like Tee Morant and Lavar Ball remained defiant when called out.
Pops fucked up by getting caught up in the moment but quickly relented.
Tyrese did not at all try to defend what happend.
Good for Indy for calling this out and at least showing good faith by not having him at any games. Home or away. The tone of the apology was Cool in my book. They took full responsibility. No "context was I was happy" or any other bullshit. Plain and simple, he fucked up and was remorseful.
Also kudos to Giannis for not losing his cool in that moment. He handled it properly. I understand these guys are well versed their responsibility and part of the price to making stupid money is keeping emotions in check with fans.
So you’re giving props they apologized bc dad fucked up. Give them a cookie and pat their head
You miss the point just like you missed it last playoffs
They’re classless a-holes. That’s the point. Plain and simple

Its basketball. Its entertainment. its parents acting badly.
You want them arrested? Banned for life? Can't fine the guy because he is not an employee of the league.
He was an asshole. he admitted to it. IN a world were guys don't its something. Not like he broke any laws. He was a jerk.
Some guys like Gianis took offense to it. Some like Kevin Garnett might have escalated it. It was classless. what else do you want? As for Tyrese, he that different than many other players in the league who talk a lot of shit? Our guys are not angels either. Its part of the game.
Yes, Pops should not be on the floor. He literally crossed the line into bad taste. When called out, he backed down. He did the right thing. yeah, we need more of that actually. We have a sitting U.S. President that won't do that. Couple of guys here when proved wrong don't do it. Im sure Im guilty from time to time myself.
Tee Morant and Lavar Ball are two that to me love to run their mouth unapologeticly. So yeah, he gets a cookie for at least owning a bad moment. Tyrese said his pops was wrong right off the bat. He gets a cookie too for that.
What's the big deal. They just cookies.
Rockets are what the Pistons think they are.
