Yeah Randle bitches way too much but that was completely understandable there. The refs handed them the game on that play. On an iso play completely out in the open that was a push-off

He did it twice, he ran over Brunson a couple of plays before, clmpletely shoved Brunson to the ground
Brunson has to be better on defense, RJ had some poor decisions where he forced the issue (shocker), IQ had 2 bad fouls on 3 pt attempts and missed shots he normally makes, Mitch's bad hands hurt a couple of times, and Randle (despite being brilliant for much of the night) was completely nonchalant on that rebound he lost when we were down three. He's just way too casual during the biggest moments. Bad loss.
the defensive effort appeared to be ok. Brunson had a rough night but his physical limitations are what they are. It does seem like our guards and wings are very eager to chase teams off the 3 pt line and have them drive towards Mitch. But it's not that hard for the other team to get an open 3 anyway off that with a drive and kick.
Along with the Minnesota win, Dallas is now half a game away from the 8th seed. Dallas is 7 and Minnesota is 8. The best situation is for Dallas to finish 9 or 10 so they get bounced after 1 loss as opposed to 2.
Knicks are up 2 games against the Nets, and Knicks currently own the tiebreaker because of conference record. They play Cavs twice this week both at home. I could see a split there but Nets have lost 3 in a row i believe. Then they go play the Heat in Miami which helps the Knicks because someone will lose.
Knicks are up 3 on the Heat and still have 2 games left against Miami BUT i belive the Knicks have clinched the tiebreaker against them because the Knicks conference record is so much better.
Knkcks play at Miami on Wednesday and i expect Miami to come out fast, you know they arent happy losing twice to the Knicks already.
I expect this Knicks team to come out better defensively, you know they werent happy and this is a team that has bounced back all year.
I exoect Brunson to have a big game he called himself out last night and i expect him to redeem himself.
It will be a physical, slow paced game, typical Heat vs Knicks game with a 50/50 crowd
Not that the Knicks D was great by any stretch but Minny was playing out of their minds offensively considering the players they were missing. Everything they shot was going in for long stretches of the game. I mean everything.
Sometimes a team just has this absolutely incredible night offensively and that was what happened yesterday I think. I imagine was their highest shooting percentage for a game all year. And we still kept up and even led for a bit before cooling at the end.

Minnesota literally never went cold. Even when they blew the 17 point lead it wasn't because they were missing shots its because Randle went all video game mode. If Randle doesn't have a career night we lose that by 20 easy and it would have been easier to shake off. When a team shoots 61% overall and 58 from 3 that's not a game you're usually in.

talking to the crowd and smiling...maybe play a little defense and you would play more
He stinks. What a terrible pick
Frank '17, Knox'18 and Obi '20. 3 top 10 picks completely botched. like completely. You could literally blindfold a 5 year old and play pin the tail on the donkey and come up with better picks.
being used primarily as a spot up 3 point shooter which is ridiculous. 60% (!) of his shots this year have been from 3.
He has the physical skills to be the best in-game dunker we've had since Amare. Yet they hardly ever never use him in the pick and roll.

I think with Randle playing 35 minutes a night, Obi will never succeed here but he has been awful, yes they can use him in pick and rols more but his defense has been crap as well and where are the run outs? he used to get 6 to 8 points just on run outs..
I think he will be gone in the offseason and they areally need to bring in a 3 and d guy who can play the 3 or 4 for 15 to 20 minutes a night

drafting in the back half of the lottery can get dicey, but these picks were questionable in the moment as well. The Knox pick especially looks rough as that looks to have been a loaded draft. There was like 20 players taken after him who are all clearly better. Why does Scott Perry still have a job?
Its been all game, Hart was tackled on the drive to the rim..
Randle was shoved 3 times on his drive..
Brunson was hit a few times..
ehh Twolves didnt miss from 3 no matter what the Knicks did
Yet he still managed to commit a crucial turnover in last two minutes
Yeah Randle bitches way too much but that was completely understandable there. The refs handed them the game on that play. On an iso play completely out in the open that was a push-off

no wonder Randle went off on them

This loss doesn't kill us come back and beat Miami and we are in control
Charlotte loss was different, they had nothing that game, Brunson hurt, Randle no legs..
This game was a team getting extremely hot from 3, Knicks played hard Twolves just wouldnt miss
I also expect Miami to come out hard as well after losing twice to the Knicks already
No its not...just make sure to start wednesdays
You know what that means? their fricken good, they got you caring about every game

Lol.
Your video game anology is appropriate.
That game was like a video game on rookie mode.
He stinks. What a terrible pick
