The game might be out of reach with the way the Knicks playing. I just need Rose to get 3 more points and Trae to get 2 more
 
I mean to some extent you’re right. But at the same time they are riding a 30+ year old Rose & Randle who both been playing outta their mind all season. Can’t win when your best player is Rose or Randle.

I feel like in the regular season they overachieved a bit. In a series where the opponent can adjust seems like the Hawks talent has figured out how to score against the Knicks & how to lock them up in the process.

Series is far from over but I don’t think you can seriously build around Randle. He’s more of a 2nd option if that. Knicks still need unquestionable #1

Facts. I dont think anyone expected Randle to carry the team. I dont listen to any sports shows. So if there was some knicks pundits that said Randle would carry the Knicks all the way, i wouldnt know.

To me, this season is similar to what the Nets did. Free agents might consider the Knicks as an option if they see what the Knicks did with this roster.

We have career backups starting for us.

This is a super successful season for the Knicks only cause it put the knicks on the right path.

Knicks for sure need a real #1, and I never considered Randle anything more than a good #2, maybe even a 3
 
Nothing but Randle and role players on the floor

that’s really the knicks in a nutshell

They’ll be alright though help coming soon

The 2021 FA class ain’t lookin to great if I remember. Unless Kawhi goes rogue or some shit.....

Not sure where the Knicks go from here roster wise. They’d have to make more smart low key moves like Bullock. What we might know is Randle’s contract situation could determine y’all fate.

Knicks started a 2nd string pg, sg, and center all season. So theres a lot they can do.

Plus they got RJ, Obi, and IQ, with 2 picks coming this season.

They dont have to hit a home run next season. Just continue to develop the youngsters, also get a starting pg and center, and get to the 2nd round next season.

Shit dont gotta happen over night.

Knicks in a good place imo. And this season was just step one.

would you take a crack at Lowry? He seems like a good fit.
 
As disgusting as hes been, i aint judging Randle off this series either.

Idk how to judge Randle. Like idk if this season was a fluke or not. Hes got next season to prove if hes this new good player, or regular ass randle.

And as for this series, its randles first playoff series, and he comes into it as the first option for his team, all the pressure, and a whole game plan against him.

If he takes this, learns from it, and comes back better? Cool.

His next playoff series is what he'll be judged on for me
