Dissapointing 2 games but the Knicks are 5-5 after 10 which no one expected.
Randle is playing like a star player ehich again no one expected..
Starters need a change, i would put Rivers in for Bullock, adds a ball handler and a more competent shooter.
Barrett is really dissapointing right now, he is playing like Randle last year, jist barreling into people with no plan, it seems he forces his possessions rather than letting thr gmae come to him.
So the question now is, who can we find to be the running mate for randle?
Knox keeping us in it.
That was a pretty quick 180 youve made on RJ nyg16....I hope its not my fault for souring you on him. Lol
He's been awful.
Alot of that is from letting Randle do it so often. Sure he has a handle, which is nice for a change, but he doesnt think like a distributor and makes really bad decisions....often. He shouldnt get the ball until they cross the timeline unless he is leading a break.
Yup, Rj getting cooked on defense and cant hit anything..

I have a bad feeling he is going to remain that way. He reminds me a little of a smaller John Wallace. Talent is there, just cant play the game very well.
Now RJ Barrett is concerning and always has been concerning, very stiff, besides up and down below average athletically. He is a bad shooter and doesn’t have good form unlike knox. The difference is he wants to be a star so badly so he will get better but def not a star. Every time he scores it seems like he puts so much effort into making a shot never anything easy
When will we catch a break?
When will we catch a break?
Numbers dont pan out, but Reddish looks like a more promising player. Better D, more aggressive to the rim and he seems to have a better stroke from 3....def a better FT guy so if he can get to the rim he could help there.
I am beginning to think he simply doesnt have the head for the game. He wasnt all that great imv at Duke and he makes Trevor Ariza look like Jordan.
Clyde just echoed my statement two nights ago: Barrett should go to the hole more. Then when they start backing off you, put your back to the basket and use your quickness. He IS two things....quick and springy.
Take that bitch to the hole, make your lay ups and free throws.
I dont know what athlete you are watching...his first step is sudden and rangy, and is pretty good at changing direction.
You know the guy he is guarding is lighting it uo right?
Ok......what are the other parts of his game that you like?
If your as bad a defender as Barrett you better be scoring 30. This guy can’t even shoot.
You cant win with your back court being that bad shooting wise..
Rj should not start
If only they had listened to me *sigh*
Averaging 16 and 7 on 51% shooting.
Doesn’t leave us much. Very doubtful a star sees RJ and goes “damn I need to play with that dude.”

He’s at least a decent shooter. Reggie Bullock will not matter to the Knicks 1-2 seasons from now, and Rivers is better off the bench. I’d like a 5 of Quickley, RJ, Knox, Randle, Mitch.
Rj should not start
You either have to start him and hope he gets better or trade him soon. Not sure if his shot is a fixable thing. He’s killing any value he might have every time he throws up a 25 percent shooting night.
That chance is gone. Who the hell would want him? I mean, they could obviously just trade him for a bag of balls but he is destroying any trade value he may have had with his performances lately

to see Rose and Thibs trade Rj, they didnt draft him, get what you can

You have to hope someone says they want the 3rd overall pick from last year..

He is killing this team, like it or not Thibs wants to win and he will quickly lose this team if Rj keeps going 5 for 20 everh night..
This is awful, this isnt even oh he is young he will get right, no this is really bad
You dont trade Randle either, you build around Randle and Mitch..
