RJ is an X-factor. Not the key. If Grimes goes off, its over for Cleveland. I think IQ is going to feast this series. I don't think they have anyone to really deal with him. I think Josh Hart and potentially Deuce give Donovan and Garland fits. We will also dominate the glass. Knicks in 6 but I wouldn't be shocked if Knicks lose this series. Our depth and rebounding win us this series. And if we also screen Okoro off of Brunson, its going to be a long series
If used correctly Obi can be a big factor inn beating the Cavs..if he gets time Obi will show out book it.
If Randle can’t play Thibs needs to put Obi and Hart in to start the game because then Hart can fill the holes that Obi can’t. Namely defense, playmaking and rebounding. Then bring Quickly, RJ, McBride, and Hartenstein off the bench as needed.
Rj will be killing them
Game 6 is where it’s ends for cav
Knicks in 7 only if Randle keeps his head straight, if he loses his temper it’s 2020 all over again
RJ needs to just flow with the offense, when he forces his shots he’s terrible and turn over prone
Julius Randle needs to return by game 3 at the latest.
SNY > ESPN. God bless!
What is the type and degree of Randle’s ankle sprain?
The X factor will be RJ. Of late he has been playing some selfish offensive ball (forcing a play and ignoring the open man) and his defense have gotten worse this season (not sure if he is dealing with a nagging injury we do not know about). I got the Knicks in 6. I cannot see this young inexperience core winning a game 7 if it goes the distance.
Hopefully Randle doesn't return for Game 1. FO needs to see how great our team is without him! The politics need to stop. Knicks haven't won for 50 years because of this reason…
Julius Randle definitely needs to return by game 2 for sure at the latest
Obi going to be ready him quick and grimes are the x Factor in the series
d rose should retire and join the coaching staff
