Jalen Brunson returned to form with a 45 point masterpiece but it wasn’t enough to overcome another horrific performance from Julius Randle and some hot three point shooting from the Milwaukee Bucks.
Gavin Schall recaps what the Knicks need to do now with Julius, Brunson’s big night, nice play from the young guards and a questionable decision late from Tom Thibodeau.

Randle 's shooting has been so bad. What is up with him?
They should’ve traded him this off season but noooo. When things aren’t going well this guy just shuts down and starts throwing temper tantrums to the refs and stops playing defense. He is a front runner who doesn’t handle adversity well and he brings down everyone around him when he’s not hitting shots and reverts to being a black hole on offense that isn’t trying on defense either. He’s gotta GO.
I blame Thibs for enabling this as well
Roster construction 👎🏾
Coaching adjustments 👎🏾
Amazing… scapegoat much??? Barrett.. center.. just junk….. never discuss….
Thibs is a complete moron! He lets Randle play the whole game without playing defense. He won't sit Randle when he mess up or just doesn't have it that night. But Thibs is suppose to be a defensive minded coach? So how is it that you have PF that doesn't play defense at all? Knicks should've kept Toppin and traded Randle. We're not going deep into the playoffs deep with Julius Randle. Get a PF that actually Brunson can play with. Maybe Thibs has go to!
Randall needs to go and take tibs with him
I am so tired of these NY teams with good defense and stagnant offense tibs knows that he's playing bad and he either needs to be benched or trade him
Randle is an inefficient shot chucker who stops playing defense when he's having a bad game offensively. This team will never make a deep playoff run with Randle as a primary option
You guys & the FO are at fault. We praise Julius but deep down, he’s not that guy. I’ve always wanted him off the NYKs and always wanted to trade him when his stock was high. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Shame on you guys for drinking his cool aid again. Now if he get traded his stock is down again. Anyone who deals with stock know that is not the way to trade.
We cannot trade Randle now when his stock is trash again. We need to trade a Mitch package for Myles Turner so he can open up the middle and hopefully give Randle, JB, and JR some room in the paint.
If you ask me every body in the front office the coaching staff randle must GO!! Aready they can’t and won’t compete with that same boring offense no points from Robison he has no offensive game no defense the same struggling offense the clippers will be here Monday probably another lost
I said after watching the very first regular season game – we got shit Randle this year. He has no belief in his own shot, he hesitates, he fumbles, he passes up shots he should take and takes shots he shouldn't. Its painful to watch because he is a talented player who can do so much better. It's particularly painful because I see him try so hard – he rebounds, he passes, he tries to play defense (though not very well). But, I know, sooner or later his effort will disappear and will be replaced with frustrations and team-disruptive behavior. SO, we trade him ASAP. It's ok not to get "maximum value". … lets get SOME value before this turns into another shit show.
Knicks offense is OK without Randle IF RJ plays like he did this year – hitting his 3pt shot, driving and finishing in the paint, making FTs. With JB being our Franchise and Mr. Reliable, we still a playoff team IF RJ is our #2. But, we cannot beat Celtics, Bucks, Heat with this squad.

Julius Randle is no leader, no NBA superstar, and no team player.
The NY Knicks should bench Randle or trade.
Enough, Enough!
Where the "Hell" is the help for poor Jalen Brunson 😢.
He is reliving last playoffs. He had carried the team again without any help, especially Julius Randle 🤡.
I sad for a great player, like Jalen Brunson. He deserves better!
I'm asleep before you even start talking, Julius Randall needs to go, hes not built for New York, I'm going way back since the walk rape, and both you gotta have guts and haunt to play for the new york nickel bottles, the name, nobody got no heart, and so on this. Team, they knocked Bronson down real hard. And then aint nobody can move it to system. You couldn't do that to a player on the old next cause somebody would have been open and pushed app the guy, come on, man, we gotta start sticking the government, start winning some game. All these 4 games, these 4 games we lost, we should have won them. We should have won a week's imposition. To win. Whenever somebody gotta make a big shot and then shoot the ball. And they can't get over the hump and Grimes. He practiced with JJ Reddit. What did he learn nothing to me? Let's talk and write it, you get rid of Randall and a phony a that's sitting a bench. They're not using them a body could come in and shoot some 3 points and get us over the hump man, so and what happened to Tom tibbital, he don't lost his heart because he came from the Olympics as a system coach. Come on, make these good, told talk to these guys push them around in the lock one. Come on, tell him you'll it's my tone. You're listening all too soft, let's go, man. I'm sick of tired of watching my team every game, the same nonsense. I'm a very angry nick fan right about now
