Randle is the first and only player in NBA history to attempt more than 250 FGs over the first 16 games of a season and shoot:
* below 40% from the floor
* below 30% from three-point range
* below 70% from the free-throw stripe

This is head coach Thibs offensive game plan for the 2023-24 season ....
Mafra, you mention Grimes had 15 FGA in 3 games.
In yesterday game vs the Suns
Brunson had 25 FGA,
Randle had 21 FGA,
Barrett had 11 FGA,
Grimes had 5 FGA
Mitch had 2 FGA,
6th Man Quickley had 10 FGA.,
In the 2nd half of the game all we had to do was feed Mitch a few lobs down low to take Nurkic off of Randle to get a Bully-Ball win in the 2nd half of the game.

Head coach Thibs got his 2nd loss in 3 games by an opponents 10 man rotation (Wolves/Suns)..
The Heats coach Spoe's 8 man rotation was dead tired in the 4th quarter, and our fresh leg bench players energy stole the Heats double-digit lead for a Knicks win.
The Knicks should be running a 10 Man rotation, adding Jericho Sims to the rotation as a PF.
The picture of Brooks taking the Suns final shot of the game over Randle & Barrett defense .........

Captain Randle as the Knicks first/second offense option is the teams big problem against .500 teams.
And PG Brunson need to save all his scoring for the 2nd half of the game, and work on getting his teammates easy baskets throughout the first half of the game.
