Like I said in an earlier comment, you can probably find more clips of him supporting and dapping his teammates than u can of moments like these.Īnd outside of the assistant thing in LA, none of the clips you put in here are bad. Lol bro you’re over here nitpicking selective moments from the season. Or we can keep Randle here and provide DM with a offensive player who in all reality was better than anyone he's ever played with OFFENSIVELY at least. We seemingly can't wait to embrace those narratives. How soon when RJ after 5 yrs still can't create offense and the Knicks need to overutilize DM that we create this narrative that DM doesn't like RJ and is selfish or can't make Cam Reddish better. Tell me, how soon after we trade for DM and then also trade away Randle does it take for us to turn on DM. There could only be one star at a time that we'll support.until that one star can't drag a bunch of mediocre players past a team with multiple stars and then we start doubting and creating narratives for that lone star. But the problem in NY is they love the Highlander effect. But for just about any other variation of role there's no reason to just dump him when the point of trading for a guy like DM is that you bring him here to play with talent. Even this past failed year statistically the guy was a near triple double.Īll any Randle critic has proved even at his absolute worst is that perhaps he's not fit to lead a team. At the end of the day the argument should be that even if that year never happened he's a talent.
#RJ BARRETT STATS WITHOUT RANDLE FULL#
Fans get one catch phrase and it becomes the full narrative. You'll quickly get trashed with critics talking about how it was one good year amongst what they'll make you believe was a Frank Ntilikina-esque career. last season, he was toxic, separate from his efficiency falling dramatically. Two seasons ago, he put the team on his back and gave us one of the best seasons any knick has put together. so many people here seem to have an irrational amount of hate for him, and so many people here seem to have an irrational amount of devotion to him. i hope we trade him if the offer makes sense, and i hope we keep him if the offer doesn’t. It’s a FACT that we don’t know which randle is going to show up this season. people rarely change without genuinely wanting to. People who say he’s definitely going to come back this season and have a better attitude and mental/emotional resiliency despite showing zero signs of personal accountability and plenty of signs of victimhood, you have no idea what you’re talking about.
People who say that it’s impossible for him to get his head right and have a bounce back season, you have no idea what you’re talking about. and if they keep him as our franchise star, or to rehab his value before trading him, it’s probably the right move. which means if they trade him, it’s probably the right move. So there are different things, like I said, we can learn from, get better at, but that would be the explanation because we just tried to focus on getting back and transition.”Įven New York coach Tom Thibodeau was impressed with their offense in their first game without Randle, their leading scorer (25.1 points) and rebounder (10.0 rebounds).“do people think this front office is that dumb?” So that was the focus - getting back, and then we still didn’t get back enough. “It’s a different case with Julius (Randle). That group played on a 101.2 pace with a 216.7 offensive rating and 114.3 defensive rating for an impressive 102.4 net rating. Their best lineup of the night in terms of net rating was composed of Brunson, Quentin Grimes, RJ Barrett, Toppin and Isaiah Hartenstein.
The Knicks are 13th in scoring, averaging 115.6 points per game. It was only the 10th time this season that they reached 130 points. The Knicks played with a dizzying pace and space, which led to their scoring spree.
So you have to prioritize and shift your priorities at that point. You have Quickley, who’s pushing the pace, and you got to get back. Now, you have Obi Toppin at the four who’s running in the transition, and you gotta run back. He pushes the pace, but you have a kind of a mismatch with those two-Julius kind of. So, not having Julius Randle changes the pace of their group. “I’m not making an excuse here,” Mitchell said. Mitchell pointed out Randle’s absence when asked to explain how they lost the rebounding battle, especially on the offensive glass where the Knicks had a staggering 16-3 advantage. That wasn’t lost on Cleveland Cavaliers star Donovan Mitchell after his 42-point effort fell short amid the dizzying pace of a 130-116 Knicks victory Friday night.
That’s how the New York Knicks transformed overnight in their first game without their All-Star forward Julius Randle, who is out for at least two weeks with a sprained left ankle. Jalen Brunson and Julius Randle of the New York Knicks.įrom a battering bruiser to a fast cruiser.
