  1. Julius Randle is the Tasmanian turnover machine. He can’t function without Brunson. RJ’s poor efficiency is also a huge problem. Thib’s lack of adjustments will not get them far in the playoffs

  2. Knicks should get higher so when the fall comes they will bawled away like the angry new yorker they are hahahahaha

  3. Knicks fans are just different. once they go on a win streak like the one they just had everyone goes quiet but as soon they lose a few, they start calling randle trash and find a scape goat. terrible fan base

  4. Didn’t Randle hit a game winner against the Heat not that long ago? This take ain’t it. 😂👎🏽

  5. Julius Randle is the teams best player although really good he’s an all star the Knicks need a superstar

  6. He is right and he is wrong too. Randle is the star of the team, especially with Brunson out, that makes him a decision maker by default..its just the way things work. Now… When Randle has a bad night… YES give it to someone else ffs… He hasnt been playing well last couple games, so give the ball to someone who has been playing well… and that player now is IQ.

  7. I got a solution: LET D ROSE PLAY IDIOTS if you not gonna play him please release him so he can go to a contender

  8. Just cos Brunson is from nyk we forgetting James is averaging the same amount of points on the same efficiency and leading the league in assists. James is the best pg in the east we just forget lol

  9. Kawhi giving 2019 vibes rn and that’s scary he started the year out slow then the turn of the calendar you start going is he back? And then all of sudden he’s making memes out of your favorite players also maybe idk without Brunson there maybe give D rose some minutes

  10. Randle still has a long way to go. He's also gotta tighten up his mental focus because he just can't automatically get frustrated during clutch time

  11. Facts. Randle's IQ is trash. He's a wannabe super star that be costing them so much. Especially a couple years ago in the playoffs

  12. I also gotta admit, I love what I'm seeing from Quickly lately. The guy can ball out off the bench, off the ball, however it takes to contribute to winning 💯

  13. Naw there’s WAAAAYYYYY more bad than that one shot 😂🤣😆😆😆. Dude will be like 1-127, I’m not tryna here that 😂🤣. He just went 2-12 from 3 a couple days ago vs the kings. Dude will NOT stop shooting no matter HOW bad he shoots!! Smdh 🤦🏾‍♂️

  14. Stephen A is right. Randle having the ball in his hands at the end of the game is atrocious coaching.

  15. Tired of Stephen A Smith Randle is the same guy who hit the shot in Miami and was huge in Boston this team is what it is and stop the madness and lunatic act

  16. They could have solved that by simply getting Donovan Mitchell. But they didn’t want him. So this is what they are stuck with now.

  17. He's right though! Knicks fans have been saying this for years now! Randle has passing ability for a big man, but he's not a playmaker. He's not a great decision maker! He's prone to turnovers in late game situations, where his only plan of attack is isolation! This is EXACTLY what Atlanta exploited in the playoffs 2 years ago, and why the Knicks were so desperate for a point guard!

    Julius Randle can play. He can score, he can rebound, he can play solid defense and he almost never misses a game. But he's not a #1, and he's not a floor general. That's not a knock on him, that's reality. Its why Brunson means so much to the team. He takes the pressure off Randle to lead so he can just ball.

  18. Not until Thibs stops playing Julius at point forward will the Knicks improve. You would think 3 games would be enough to see the entire team isn’t playing as a team.
