Wonderful recap as always. My question is if Randle is just simply worn out from the regular season. He played a ton of minutes during a condensed season and maybe that has caught up with him. I remember commenting to a friend how tired he looked during the Celtics game, game 72.

Also, what is it going to take to get a good look at Frank. Bullock isn’t playing well. Why not try Frank and see if you have something.

Thanks Frank! I think that can't be dismissed, especially when you look at his shooting numbers down the stretch of the season, which were down. As for Frank/Bullock, I might turn the reigns over to IQ. At least he can stretch the D, and our offense has been the bigger issue.

Watching these games, especially yesterday’s, it’s obvious to me that the Knicks are over thinking everything. They appear to be playing tentatively and without the confidence that got them here. Sharing the ball helped the team succeed over the regular season, and now I’m seeing a lot of isolation and bad shots. When the ball does get kicked out to the open shooter, it’s brick city. Derrick Rose and Taj Gibson have been our only saving grace. Rose gets things starting and Taj has been a beast on defense and making the extra play. Randle has to stop initiating the offense from the top of the key, maybe a few hard screens and roll to the hoop once in a while. It’s been a good season overall, and I hate to see them go out like this.

Same here. I hope they give us a commensurate effort tomorrow, at the very least. Need to play free and easy. Let the chips fall where they may.

This is as far as this team can go. Randle is not a playoff player.Los Angeles saw that & the Pelicans saw that and Randle is not a first option he is a third. This team was put together with tape & dollar store glue. All these guys except a few are placeholders. This season for them is over. Now it's time for Leon Rose to get off his ass and stop learning his job from Scott Perry & get some damn talent.Next season fans will expect a real team. I still say Kenny Atkinson would have been a better coach in the playoffs than Thibs
