   Obi needs to play with Bronson

   I keep telling people that Randle is NOT the dude to lead us to a chip. We've gotten this good because of Brunson let's be honest. Trade Randle and start Obi Toppin who has a ton of potential that's being wasted by the front office and Thibs. We play well until Julius starts holding on to the rock and trying to play hero ball.
   i'd bet anybody a sizable amount of bread that trading Julius would unlock Toppin and RJ Barrett. We could get a nice haul for Julius – AND FOR CHRIST'S SAKE START USING MITCH AS AN OFFENSIVE WEAPON. I swear the NBA is where talent goes to get wasted. No sport wastes more talent than basketball.

   Obi play inside and dominate with dunks like Amara

   Unfortunately, Randles our engine. When he's ON, we can beat anybody. When he's NOT, we can lose 2 anybody. Take the bad with the good.

   Sorry but Julius needs to be traded…he is unstable yes he puts up numbers he has a license to shoot and he knows he can do anything he wants and not be pulled so he can play freely…(something Obi cant do ) time to trade Randle while his stock is up. He kills momentum and has lost games when he looses control..a ticking time bomb.

   Julius Randle is such a crybaby 😢

   While I agree with many of the comments here, no one mentions Thibs. It seems that the coach has no control over Randle and serves no discipline. Thibs or management should have addressed those outbursts a long time ago and Randle should be benched or suspended and start Obi.

   I like some of the bad laws again with New York Nickelback was Julius Randolph was totally disrespectful last night so quickly they need to do something with do this random and talk to beetle needs to get that defense back on point what are they doing man with all the next door

    It's funny cause as I've been watching the games I would drive my wife crazy yelling at Randle cause of his horrible lack of defensive play, hustle and him thinking that he can dribble which usually ends up with a trunover.. She would ask me any change in him and I would say no. Always walking down and not giving a crap about his defensive play and always knowing that he's a bomb waiting to erupt. Tick tick tick. Him and Barret can't play defense.

    Love the video especially the callers. RJ, is a high character youngster never misses games, but my goodness his “tunnel vision” on offense, his low IQ, and his slow rotations on defense is absolutely KILLING me! His poor shooting is gonna hurt us come playoffs when all the competition is high every night.

    I like Randle, but we can't make the mistake we made 2 years ago. Can you trust this guy. His trade value is at his highest right now. Move him in the off season

13. isontiller 2 years ago

    Ari has by far some of the worst basketball takes I've heard in my life ONLY IQ & GRIMES ARE THE KEEPERS!?!?!? Over Jalen brunson …

14. Theo Vrionides 2 years ago

    RJ 5 turnovers 3 ,12 shooting

    I’m of the opinion we are seeing a combination of things. Teams know we give up WIDE open 3s and more importantly this is the 9 man rotation fatigue rearing it’s ugly head. They are a step slow. Their defense is geared towards closing out after the drop and kick. When they have the legs their close outs are crisp. They don’t have the legs nor the concentration to execute the defense. That’s fatigue. They’ve played excellent defense before so we know they are physically capable of it. THIBS needs to open the rotation even if for only 5 extra minutes a game. We’re running out of gas to close the season.

    Once he screamed on Quick, I was done. Randle is skilled but no control with his emotions or his God forsaken 4th qtr spin moves.

17. J R 2 years ago

    Julius is a fake tough guy…Just rubbing his teammates wrong – Quickly was just doing what Thibs told his teammates to do when he goes on his baby tantrums – Who is to blame ->Thibs for not taking action himself and allowing the terrible 2s baby Julius be to have it his way

18. Sam Weiner 2 years ago

    Julius was wrong at the end of the half to explode, but he was clobbered right in front of the Ref. He gets fouled 3 times before he gets a call. However, he needs to cool down and he knows its, but can't control himself.

19. BronxRoots66 2 years ago

    Sick of y’all making excuses for Randle. Don’t give a 💩 that he’s frustrated he’s not getting calls. Everybody is getting fouled during the game. Instead of getting frustrated, get your big ass in the paint and abuse your defender. Muscle up, and make whoever is guarding you feel like he can’t guard you. But no, he wants to be a perimeter player, and feels he a star in this league who should get superstar calls. Ppl are finally getting hip to his nonsense.

20. Nelson Diaz Sr 2 years ago

    Randle is an immature asshole period.

21. Citi360 2 years ago

    Randle looks like the type of dude to verbally abuse his wife. Weirdo vybes.

22. Mr freckles 2 years ago

    The way Randle act is on Tom thibodeau he never disciplines him for his actions I don't care how good of a player he is bench him when he gets out of control u can't get at your teammates like that . I remember when teams had a player like that the og on the team would check him right away we don't have any on this team except Rose but rose is a quiet guy so it's up to the coaches

23. Mr freckles 2 years ago

    Is tom thibodeau a good enough coach to bring a chip to ny

24. TNGBigTy187 2 years ago

    He gotta start playing rose , when brunson is gone

25. B from Jersey 2 years ago

    I usually try and defend Randle but this was over the top

26. Manuel Cordero 2 years ago

    Fed up with Randle. How he reacted against Quick is inexcusable. Knicks should trade him while his value is high. Randle is a me first player. Get rid of this bum as fast as possible.

27. Equity Park 2 years ago

    Randle looks like he got serious mental issues TRADE HIM

28. Jimmy Schneider 2 years ago

    Super talented but doesn’t have the poise it takes to lead a team to a championship. He’s had a helluva season, we can get a lot back for him in a trade. Send him to Golden State where he can get his 20 and 10 and be hidden behind Steph and Klay. I don’t care if we get a bunch of draft picks to add to our stash. I’ll take it and just rock with Obi at the 4 next season if anything. Even if it means taking a temporary step back.

    Second caller is just venting, Julius is one thing but RJ had a bad game, guy is get near 20 pts per game with limited touches, D could be better but beside a few players, everybody D is sus. Relax!

    I been saying this all along. Randle good player but clearly we see why he on his 3rd team Toxic attitude is Cancer if u play team anything when u have that one person willing to fight u on ur side who wants to play with that type player u can't trust?. Players are sick of playing with Randle and Coach Thibs for looking the other way yet other players get coach reprimanded. It's unraveling at the seem. Other seasons ago Randle would spas out and u see players go one on one and kill team chemistry R.J. has become that mindset I feel due to Randle Iso bully ball hog seasons ago and it adds up to now. No one should want to play with that character

    Over bloated ego. Very narcissistic

32. Kim Jennings 2 years ago

    What Randle did last night to iq really did turn me off to him ..I’m done with him. He needs to go.

33. Ed 2 years ago

    Julius just got thru saying Willis Reed is an inspiration to him. Ironic. The Captain would have knocked him on his ass.
    Julius knows nothing about team

34. Charles Yarborough 2 years ago

    NBA is a graveyard for talent… ..lots of talented player in College come to the NBA and and never get to show off their full potential the next Jordan is buried on the Bench getting 5 , maybe 10 minutes a night or no minutes some nights…but on the other side Randle got to go , if I was his teammates, I would boycott him , refuse to play with him until he gets traded….

35. Gregory Winer 2 years ago

    A little concerned, Al? First off, Salute the Show!. Now – Julius Randle thinks he is a superstar. He expects the benefit of the whistle, while throwing elbows and kicking. We did not sign JB to be a babysitter. We either trade this dude or pick up a real star to bump Ju to the 3rd option. Pretty sure we're stuck with Thibs, which leaves me unsettled. In any event, a first round exit and eyes to the F.O. to address these weaknesses which have continued to plague this team. Ari is correct. No trust in Thibs or Randle.

36. Shar 2 years ago

    Randle's bad attitude is not going to change. He blames everyone but himself. I hope you reading julius. You suck!

37. Juan Ventura 2 years ago

    I will say this and say this only. I tuned this team out once i realized the direction the FO is driving this team. They never been able to correctly diagnose the JR/Thibs problem and it will cost all of them their jobs. This team is literally a house of cards and with a crumbling foundation. Some guys are just losing players and once your team turns the corner you get rid of them,  same with some coaches.  The so called numbers you put up dont mean 💩 if you dont make guys better around you.

38. D 15 2 years ago

    How are all y’all blaming randle 😂😂 wouldn’t even be in the game w/o him and it’s obvious coming from a non Knicks fan.

39. KOM3 NYC 2 years ago

    Julius Randle will get held accountable when we get our Star or RJ becomes the answer. Other than that he has tooo much power. He is like the Pizza Guy who is always late, but the only one with the drivers license.

40. OO7angelo 2 years ago

    4 seasons of Julius's antics. I've seen enough. Haters are gonna come for me for saying this. But It Is Time To move on from him. Trade him this off-season. I'd rather lose without him than win with him. He's a bad teammate, plain and simple. Or more accurately, A fair weather teammate. His value is as high as it's gonna get. Trade him.

41. Ron P 2 years ago

    Randall should be traded this off-season idc if it's for a second rd pick. He is black cloud & negative energy!!!

    This is a LETTER TO JULIUS RANDLE,I' m a Knick fan for 55 years, I was at the game When willis Reed came back out limping to the game at MSG.I will never put the blame of years of pain on you. As where many fans haven't never seen a championship.I saw a championship at 9 years old. Those were good years Knicks won Jets won Mets won and a year earlier man walked on the moon.Those were the Pride days of the knicks. YOU have so much talent.This team has a potential to be a championship type team missing one player. You are supposed to be a leader.Players are suppose to follow your lead. I'm so proud to be a knick fan. My 90 year old father said i believe Julius has found his way. Because knowone can check down low,and he's so strong and talented he'll get fouled every time.He say to me i can't wait to see this julius randle and brunson lead team make a wreak in the playoffs. AS long as julius stays calm . Well my Dad passed on FEB 1st .THE 90 year old Fan. we'll have to see it from up above. A true knick fan. I myself see this team even going through growing pain with many young players which has the ingredients to do something great.MY father saw this his last days. Unfortunately Randle,I believe you'll never see this letter. GO KNICKS
