I remember when most young players would struggle during their 1st playoff run KD shot 35% for example now we got guys like Trae Young, Doncic, and Ja Morant getting whatever they want and making it look so easy like Lebron when he made his 1st playoff appearance in 2006
Thibs did a a great job of getting the team to compete HARD during the regular season, unfortunately in the playoffs EVERY team is competing hard. Knicks loss their intensity and effort advantage and it's exposing their talent disadvantage. Only player creating offense or any semblance of a good or open shot is D Rose. The other Knicks players are simply incapable of creating or making plays. Capela and the Hawks defense is shutting down Randle and the rest of the Knicks. Trae young and the Hawks on the other hand have been getting good looks, driving into the paint and getting open shots all series. The only reason the Knicks are even competing in these games thus far is solely due to Drose's play along with a Burks and other random players getting hot and hitting contested threes. That said, hoping for some knicks to pull a burks or Austin river surprise performance... I need/want more MSG + funny Trae chants!
Julius Randle went from All-Star to Pistons Josh Smith once the postseason started How much money is getting subtracted from his next contract with each brick? need to see how these guys play in the playoffs before committing major money like a max deal to them...Christian Wood, take notes
slid down to Knicks Realgm, and they’re turning on Randle as I expected by game 5, he might be more hated at MSG than Trae Young
Julius Randle in 3 playoff games: 6-23, 5-16, and 2-16 he’s gotten to the point where a guy is playing so horribly u actually start feeling sorry for them
Randle and the rest of the Knicks offense continues like this, this series will be over in 5 Ice Trae can take a bow at center court in MSG after ending the Knicks season
I have gravely underestimated the Hawks. I think the Knicks did too. They may not win this series but this maybe the best series in the first round Rocket River
Everytime it looks like NY is about to break it open and run away The Hawks are Busting them up and come storming back I am honestly rooting for the Hawks now . . .. . Still a Clint Capela fan! Rocket River
